There are so many great classic literary works turning on the desire for revenge. Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Christo, from 1844, is definitely one of the greatest literary adventures among these tales, indeed William Thackeray was so enthralled he began reading at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night. It describes the fall, imprisonment, escape, rise and vengeance of Edmond Dantès. The whole story begins with a young French sea captain who seems to have been given all the things life can grant. He is successful and is set to marry the beautiful Mercédès.
But Dantès’ fortune turns out to be his misfortune. There are those who envy his success. Danglars hates that Dantès is a success as a captain; Mondego loves Mercédès, which makes him jealous of Dantès; and Caderousse hates Dantès for getting the luck in life he feels he has been denied.
The men have Dantès framed for betraying the country. Falsely accused of treason(叛国), Dantès is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of Chateau d’If. In prison, he meets a priest, Faria, who passes on his education to Dantès. Faria also tells him of a fabulous treasure on the island which is called Monte Christo. When the priest dies, he seizes a chance to escape and makes his way to the island to claim the money.
Free, wealthy and now unrecognizable to most, Dantès is well placed to take his revenge on the men who condemned him to prison. He punishes them with varying degrees of severity. The pitiful Caderousse is a struggling innkeeper; he gets off lightly because he regrets his behavior and helps Dantès. But the other two fare less well. Mondego, married to Mercédès, has continued with his disloyal ways and the life he has led helps Dantès to bring him down. The greedy Danglars, who so envied Dantès’ success, is ruined financially when Dantès plays on his desire for gold. What Danglars wanted most from life – money – also proves to be his ruin.
And yet revenge so often hurts more than guilt, and this is the case in Dumas’ novel. Dantès’ actions damage the innocent too. Dumas’ novel is therefore more than just a page turner, a thrilling ride. It is a story about the limits of human justice. Dumas seems to argue that only fate can decide proper punishment for the evil. 72. What does the novel The Count of Monte Christo focus on?
A. Dantès’ desire for success and wealth. B. Dantès’ misfortune after he is sent to prison.
C. Dantès’ revenge on the men who caused his imprisonment. D. Dantès’ adventure after he escapes from the prison

A. don’t deserve all they suffer B. are less satisfied with their lives
C. should be paid less D. are punished in a more cruel way 74. From the article, we can conclude that the author thinks that Dumas___________. A. didn’t completely believe in revenge B. believed Dantès achieved
