## All characters in TCOMC And what I have to say about them

PART 1

Edmond Dantes (aka the Count of Monte Cristo/Abbe Bussoni/Lord Willmore/Sinbad the Sailor) - he’s cool, but he went a bit too far on the whole revenge thing. And when I say “a bit too far”, I’m referring to the fact that he has no problem with harming the children of the people who wronged him. Like it’s not Valentine or Albert’s fault that they have bad fathers.

Danglars- I don’t like him. He annoys me. His whole motive for framing Dantes was because he was jealous that Dantes got promoted over him, which is the worst reason out of the three. Also he’s a bad father to Eugenie. So yeah, he’s an overall bad person.

Fernand Mondego/ de Morcerf- He’s not as annoying as Danglars because his motives make more sense. Also the whole “frame Dantes” thing wasn’t his plan, and if Danglars wouldn’t have said anything he would have left Dantes alone. Also I think he’s kinda stupid, so you can’t blame an idiot for making bad decisions. He just doesn’t know any better. (But that whole betraying Haydee’s father and selling Haydee and her mother as slaves thing was pretty messed up)

Gaspard Caderousse- He’s the Most Annoying character in the book. Why is he even here? Just to tell Dantes the whole “Where Are They Now?” for all the characters we were introduced to in the first half of the book? (That’s literally the only plot relevant thing he did.) And then to die? Did anyone who has ever read TCOMC actually care when he died? Was anyone like “oh no Caderousse was murdered that’s so sad!”? NO. I guarantee you no one said that. Even people who like Caderousse didn’t say that.

Gerard de Villefort- I don’t like him but I get where he’s coming from regarding most of his crimes. He’s really bad at making on-the-spot decisions. The whole “toss Edmond in jail to protect the Villefort name/his job” thing is basically just a bad impulsive decision. And also the whole “kill yourself before I get home or I’ll have to do it” thing too. He has basically no excuse for the whole “pretend the baby is dead and then bury it alive” thing, because he had 9 whole months to figure out what to do with the child.

Part 2 coming soon.
