5、Introduction The name of Alexandre Dumas is synonymous with romance and adventure. In June 1844 he wrote The Count of Monte Cristo, his most enduring novel. It has not only delighted generations of readers but made history exciting. It is a great pity that so far we have done little research on this

6、 book. This paper centers on the research in the field of love in The Count of Monte Cristo. 1 Love is a forever theme in every form of literature. Alexandre Dumas has no exception since he is such a romantic person. But Alexandre Dumas has given a new annotation to love. In his novel The Count of M

7、onte Cristo, love plays two different roles-a killer and a saver. 2. Context2.1 Plot overviewAt the age of nineteen, Edmond Dantes seems to have the perfect life. He is about to become the captain of a ship; He is engaged to a beautiful and kind young woman, Mercedes; And he is well liked by almost

8、everyone who knows him. This perfect life, however, stirs up dangerous jealousy among some of Dantes so-called friends. Danglars, the treasurer of Dantes ship, envies Dantes early career success; Mondego Mondego is in love with Dantes fiancee and so covets his amorous success; His neighbor Caderouss

9、e is simply envious that Dantes is so much luckier in life than he is.Together, these three men draft a letter accusing Dantes of treason. There is some truth to their accusations: As a favor to his recently deceased captain, Dantes is carrying a letter from Napoleon to a group of Bonapartist sympat

10、hizers in Paris. Though Dantes himself has no political leanings, the undertaking is enough to implicate him for treason. On the day of his wedding, Dantes is arrested for his alleged crimes.The deputy public prosecutor, Villefort, sees through the plot to frame Dantes and is prepared to set him fre

11、e. At the last moment, though, Dantes jeopardizes his freedom by revealing the name of the man to whom he is supposed to deliver Napoleons letter. The man, Noirtier, is Villeforts father. Terrified that any public knowledge of his fathers treasonous activities will thwart his own ambitions, Villefor

12、t decides to send Dantes to prison for life. Despite the entreaties of Monsieur Morrel, Dantes kind and honest boss, Dantes is sent to the infamous Chteau dIf, where the most dangerous political prisoners are kept.While in prison, Dantes meets Abbe Faria, an Italian priest and intellectual, who has

13、been jailed for his political views. Faria teaches Dantes history, science, philosophy, and languages, turning him into a well-educated man. Faria also bequeaths 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, Dant

14、es hides himself in the abbes 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.Dantes travels to Monte Cristo and finds Farias enormous treasure. He considers his fortune a gift from God, gi

15、ven to him for the sole purpose of rewarding those who have tried to help him and, more important, punishing those who have hurt him. Disguising himself as an Italian priest who answers to the name of Abbe Busoni, he travels back to Marseilles and visits Caderousse, who is now struggling to make a l

16、iving as an innkeeper. From Caderousse he learns the details of the plot to frame him. In addition, Dantes learns that his father has died of grief in his absence and that Mercedes has married Mondego. Most frustrating, he learns that both Danglars and Mondego have become rich and powerful and are l

17、iving happily in Paris. As a reward for this information, and for Caderousses apparent regret over the part he has played in Dantes downfall, Dantes gives Caderousse a valuable diamond. Before leaving Marseilles, Dantes anonymously saves Morrel from financial ruin.Ten years later, Dantes emerges in

18、Rome, calling himself the Count of Monte Cristo. He seems to be all knowing and unstoppable. In Rome Dantes ingratiates himself with Albert de Morcerf, son of Mondego and Mercedes, by saving him from bandits. In return for the favor, Albert introduces Dantes to Parisian society. None of his old coho

19、rts recognize the mysterious count as Edmond Dantes, though Mercedes does. Dantes is thus able to insinuate himself effortlessly into the lives of Danglars, Mondego, and Villefort. Armed with damning knowledge about each of them that he has gathered over the past decade, Dantes sets an elaborate sch

20、eme of revenge into motion. Mondego, now known as the Count de Morcerf, is the first to be punished. Dantes exposes Morcerfs darkest secret: Morcerf made his fortune by betraying his former patron, the Greek vizier Ali Pacha. He then sold Ali Pachas wife and daughter into slavery. Ali Pachas daughte

21、r, Haydee, who has lived with Dantes ever since he bought her freedom seven years earlier, testifies against Morcerf in front of the senate, irreversibly ruining his good name. Ashamed by Morcerfs treachery, Albert and Mercedes flee, leaving their tainted fortune behind. Morcerf commits suicide.Vill

22、eforts punishment comes slowly and in several stages. Dantes first takes advantage of Madame de Villeforts murderous intent, subtly tutoring her in the use of poison. As Madame de Villefort wreaks her havoc, killing off each member of the household in turn, Dantes plants the seeds for yet another pu

23、blic expose. In court, it is revealed that Villefort is guilty of attempted infanticide, as he tried to bury his illegitimate baby while it was still alive. Believing that everyone he loves is dead and knowing that he will soon have to answer severe criminal charges, Villefort goes insane.For his re

24、venge on Danglars, Dantes simply plays upon his greed. He opens various false credit accounts with Danglars that cost him vast amounts of money. He also manipulates Danglars unfaithful and dishonest wife, costing Danglars more money, and helps Danglars daughter, Eugenie, run away with her female com

25、panion. Finally, when Danglars is nearly broke and about to flee without paying any of his creditors, Dantes has the Italian bandit Luigi Vampa kidnap him and relieve him of his remaining money. Dantes spares Danglars life, but leaves him penniless.Meanwhile, as these acts of vengeance play out, Dan

26、tes also tries to complete one more act of goodness. Dantes wishes to help the brave and honorable Maximilian Morrel, the son of the kind shipowner, so he hatches an elaborate plot to save Maximilians fiancee, Valentine Villefort, from her murderous stepmother, to ensure that the couple will be trul

27、y happy forever. Dantes gives Valentine a pill that makes her appear dead and then carries her off to the island of Monte Cristo. For a month Dantes allows Maximilian to believe that Valentine is dead, which causes Maximilian to long for death himself. Dantes then reveals that Valentine is alive. Ha

28、ving known the depths of despair, Maximilian is now able to experience the heights of ecstasy. Dantes too ultimately finds happiness, when he allows himself to fall in love with the adoring and beautiful Haydee.22.2 Context on the authorAlexandre Dumas was born in 1802 in the village of Villers-Cott

29、erts, fifty miles northeast of Paris. The younger Dumas was not a good student, but he had excellent handwriting. 3 When he moved to Paris in 1823, hoping to make his fortune as an author, his lovely handwriting earned him a job as a minor clerk. Dumas spent six years as a clerk, during which time h

30、e wrote plays, conducted torrid love affairs, and lived beyond his means until in 1829, when he had his first dramatic success with Henry III and His Court. Like his Romantic colleagues, Dumas believed in the principles of social equality and individual rights. 4 He tried to infuse his dramatic work

31、s with these principles. Dumas went further than writing about his beliefs, however. He took an active role in the Revolution of 1830, helping to capture a powder magazine at Soissons, and he was appointed organizer of the National Guard at Vendee. Encountering strong local opposition, Dumas gave up

32、 the position, refusing to act against the wishes of the majority.Returning to the literary community of Paris, Dumas continued to write popular plays, sticking to historical works that he filled with melodrama. He also began to write travel literature, which led to a walking tour of southern France in 1834 5 (a tour that he would later put to use in The Count of Monte Cristo). In the late 1830s, Dumas began writing novels, as much for financial gain as for artistic reasons. At that time, it was common for cheap newspapers to run novels in serial f
