The count of Monte Cristo
A plot summary
Fernand Mondego can no longer bear the envy
he has of Edmond Dantes, because he has a
beautiful woman. Influential, he ends up causing
Dantes, a poor and honest man, to be accused of
treason and murder. Thrown in prison for a crime he
has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to
the grim fortress .

Before, over the years that he is in prison, he loses


his faith in God. While in prison Dantes meets Abb
Faria, an Italian priest and intellectual, who has
been jailed for his political views.

,
Faria teaches Dantes history, science, philosophy,
and languages, turning him into a well-educated
man. Faria also bequeaths to Dantes a large treasure
hidden on the island of Monte Cristo, and he tells him
how to find it should he ever escape. When Faria dies,
Dantes hides himself in the abbs shroud, thinking
that he will be buried and then dig his way out.
Instead, Dantes is thrown into the sea, and is able to
cut himself loose and swim to freedom. Then, he
escapes from prison full of hatred and thirsty for
revenge.

Dantes travels to Monte Cristo and finds Farias


enormous treasure. He considers his fortune a gift from
God, given to him for the sole purpose of rewarding
those who have tried to help him and, more
important, punishing those who have hurt him.
