Count Discussion #1


Same rules as the TKAMB discussions: comment around three or more times, interact with other comments, first names only. This is due Next Wed night by 8. 

Discuss anyone or all of the following:
  • There is a description of Edmond Dantes on page 85 and how 14 years of captivity has changed him physically. Do you think he is more changed physically or mentally? Which would it be for you?
  • Luck, good and bad, seems to play a big role in the book. Do you think it was just luck that the pirates are going to the Isle of Monte Cristo to exchange stolen goods? Does it detract from the story?
  • p. 89.  Jacopo offers to stay with the injured Dantes which means that he will not earn his share from the sale of goods from the smuggler ship Jeaune -Amelie. Dantes says to Jacopo, “God will reward you for your good will.” What do you believe about good deeds being rewarded (sometimes called karma, sometimes expressed, ’What goes around, comes around’)
