Jacob Hull’s Reviews > The Count of Monte Cristo > Status Update

Danglars is now fleeing because he owes 5m’s to a charity. Disgraceful. It’s also because he gave his last 5 millions to the count!

Valentine and Morrel were easily one of my favourite plots in this book. I REALLY bought the counts dialogue of saviour. I guess I would be dead now too. It turns out he still has unused hate in his heart, even for the sweetest and gentlest of souls such as valentine. He has sworn revenge against her killer, and has gone out to find them.

VALENTINE IS DEAD! THE COMTE DE MONTE CRISTO, SINBAD THE SAILOR, LORD WILMORE, AND ABBE BUSONI HAVE JUST DROPPED THE MOST INSANE DEATH. It appears that Monte Cristo poisoned the young woman. So much for saving her like what the fuck??? This is a couple that never engaged in trickery, never did anything wrong, and loved naturally as a beautiful young couple. This was the biggest shock I’ve read in a while. (1/2)

Alas! We have now discovered Mme de Villefort was poisoning the family in an effort to get money for her son. Evil mf. Anyways, the count saved her. Monte Cristo is now having a come to Jesus moment. He’s now doing what he can to save the children of the people he hates, who are lovely. I’m glad he’s decided to only go for his sworn enemies and not the good doing family members.

Chapter 100. The final stretch.

Eugenie and Louise flea! However, Andrea fleeing and almost escaping led him to falling into their hotel room! As he was being captured, he gave away who they were.. and told them of his intention to snitch on them running away to Danglars! As a result, they both returned to escaping in a feminine form as their cover was blown.

Oh dear.. ohhh deary me. As it comes to Andrea’s turn to sign, his actions have come back to bite him. Painfully. The joke goes as follows:

2 gendarmes walk into a house. Andrea runs.

Not even funny. Anyways! The police come to arrest him for murdering Caderousse, and in Caderousse pocket he finds a letter addressed to Danglars, which ties him in weirdly enough.

I feel like I’ve grown so accustomed to all of these characters that I’m too busy enjoying the story then annotating. Which I suppose is a good thing, I’m paying attention to the story and enjoying it.

Valentine was poisoned! But, Nortier suspected it would happen and tried his best to strengthen her against it. As a result, she lives!

I feel like I was struggling to get round the book towards the end. Probably just too much reading today. Alas, Albert challenged the count to a duel and after Mercedes talked the count out of it and sparing her son; he crumbled and resigned from winning. However, Albert miraculously changed his decision and spared the count. Now, Albert and Mercedes are fleeing, with no possessions
