THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO - CHAPTERS 1-3 A

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO - CHAPTERS 1-3 A

And so we begin our tale!

Before I really comment on the 3 chapters, I would like to hear what stuck out to you! We have been introduced to our main character, 3 savory characters, and our main character's fiancee. Feel free to write below in the comments!

Here's a few questions to get you thinking about what I noticed.

-Did you notice anything about the opening lines setting a stage of foreboding and a little bit of foreshadowing?

-Did anything in particular strike you about the character of Edmond Dantes?

-If you had to describe each of our 3 antagonists' character with 1 word per person, what would it be?

-Did you get the foreshadowing at the end of chapter 3?

- What is this letter that needs to be delivered as a last job for the deceased captain?

Tuck away in your memory Mercedes' quote, "One is not a good housekeeper and one cannot promise to remain an honest woman when one loves a man other than one's husband. Be satisfied with my friendship for, I repeat, that is all I can promise you and I only promise what I am sure of being able to give."
