The Count of Monte Cristo - by Alexandre Dumas

This one-million-word masterpiece not only shows Dumas' excellent novel skills, but also embodies his distinct love and hate, that is, he hates autocracy politically and advocates punishing evil and promoting good morally. With a strong anti-feudal thought, Dumas inherited his father's anti feudal tradition and adhered to the Republican political views all his life. This spirit is worthy of our admiration! The artistic features of count of Monte Cristo represent the achievements of excellent popular novels. First, the plot is tortuous, and the arrangement is reasonable. Second, good at writing dialogue and strong drama. Third, the image is distinct, and the personality is prominent. In the novel, Dumas clearly expressed his political tendency. Dantes unconsciously became a victim of his loyalty to Napoleon, but he did not regret it; Almost all the good people in the novel are on the side of the first empire, such as captain Morel. Dantes sided with the Greeks enslaved by the Turks. On the side of the Italians oppressed by Austria. The wicked always serve the bourbon royal family or the tyranny of the bourgeoisie. The novel does not propose any solution to social problems. The count of Monte Cristo can only be regarded as a force to protest the darkness of society. He shows not only an ideal, but also the power of money to corrode people's hearts.
