Dantes the Count of Monte Cristo

• Dantes is the main character of the novel. At
  the age of nineteen he is wrongfully imprisoned,
  escaping fourteen years later. When he returns
  to society, having found buried treasure, he
  becomes very rich and shrewd. It's at this point
  where he changes his name to the Count of Monte
  Cristo. The rest of the story is dedicated to
  the count's pursuit of revenge against the
  enemies who imprisoned him. Though for a time
  the count almost sees himself acting in place of
  God, eventually he is humbled and learns that God
  alone possesses the power to punish and forgive.

Mercédès

• Mercedes is the fiancé of Dantes but concedes to
  marry Fernand after Dantes is imprisoned.

  years later, she realizes she's destined to a
  life of solitude and sorrow.

Fernand Mondego

• Fernand is a co-conspirator of Danglars, also
  responsible for Dantes' imprisonment. After
  Dantes is put in jail, Fernand marries Mercedes
  and they have a son named Albert. By the end of
  the story, Fernand's evil deeds are avenged, and
  he is humiliated in a scandal, which drives him
  to suicide.

Danglars

• Danglars is the chief villain of the story, being
  most directly responsible for Dantes'
  imprisonment. Danglars grows very rich as an
  investment banker but in the end of the story
  Monte Cristo gets his revenge, leaving Danglars
  without family or fortune.

Villefort

• Monsieur Villefort is another archenemy of
  Dantes, being the chief magistrate who put Dantes
  in jail for political and personal reasons.
  Villefort had an affair with Madame Danglars,
  which produced a baby whom he tried to get rid of
  by burying. In the end, Villefort's secret past
  is revealed and he is shamed before the whole
  community.

  about the world and leaves him with a mode of
  escape

  best friend, Fernand, when their captain falls

• Edmond agrees, as that is the price for the use
  of Napoleon's physician. The captain
  unfortunately dies, so the crew returns home to
  Marseille. Edmond is made captain for his bravery
  in seeking a physician, and the first mate comes
  to despise him for it.

10

• Fernand finds out about the letter, and reads it
  while Edmond is sleeping, and is angry that
  Edmond did not tell him about it. Edmond, not
  knowing that Fernand knows about the letter,
  rushes to greet his fiancé, Mercedes, and tell
  her that they can now be married as he was just
  promoted to captain. This is also interesting
  case when I realize that Fernand is in love with
  Mercedes, but she loves Edmond.

11

• Fernand, still angry, decides to work together
  with the furious first mate, and get Edmond
  arrested for treason, which he didn't commit.
  Fernand works also with a very important
  magistrate, Villefort, who's father is the man
  Edmond was to deliver the letter to. (Villefort
  does not know this).

12

• Edmond is arrested, and thrown into a remote
  island prison by the name of Chateau D'if. There,
  he meets Priest, who teaches him many valuable
  lessons about life, how to sword fight, and give
  Edmond a proper education. All this is in turn
  for Edmond helping to dig, in order to escape the
  prison.

13

• For 13 years, Edmond is held captive in the
  Chateau D'if, and unknown to Edmond, a letter was
  sent to his family and Mercedes saying that he
  was executed on grounds of treason. Finally,
  Edmond escapes when the priest dies, and becomes
  part of a crew on a merchant vessel, along with
  his good friend Jaccapo.

14

• After 3 months, Edmond is released along with
  Jaccapo, and they go in search of finding out
  what has happened to Edmond's loved ones. They
  find out that Edmond's father committed suicide,
  and the Mercedes wed Fernand a month after
  learning of Edmond's execution. Edmond has by
  this time (with the help of the priest while in
  prison) figured out that he was framed by Fernand
  and the others.

15

• He and Jaccapo sail to a remote island that the
  Priest told Edmond about, and there they find a
  treasure, making Edmond extremely wealthy. Edmond
  decides to become a count in order to get revenge
  on those who betrayed him, so he becomes The
  Count of Monte Cristo, being the treasure he
  found The Treasure of Monte Cristo.

16

• Soon after, he "saves" Fernand and Mercedes' son
  Albert from captivity, and thus enters the lives
  of those he is trying to hurt like they hurt him.
  Mercedes begins to suspect that The Count is
  really Edmond, and when she confronts him
  privately, he denies it and she realizes that he
  really is Edmond.

17

• Then, they kiss, and realize that they are still
  in love, so Mercedes goes back ot her Chateau to
  inform Fernand that she is leaving him, when
  Fernand tells her that he has gone bankrupt which
  is really Edmond's doing, but he doesn't know
  this and is leaving the country.

18

• By this time, Villefort has been convicted of
  murdering his father and sent to jail, also
  doings of Edmond's. Mercedes precedes to inform
  Fernand that Albert is not his son, but Edmond's.

19

• Fernand becomes angry and goes out to his old,
  abandoned villa to collect the gold he had
  supposedly stolen from The Count of Monte Cristo,
  only to find that it is not there. Then, Edmond
  shows up, and tells Fernand where he has been all
  these years, and they begin a duel, only to be
  stopped by Mercedes and Alber.

20

• Mercedes then tells Edmond that Alber is really
  his son, not Fernand's. Fernand then shoots
  Mercedes in the shoulder (she lives) and runs
  off. Edmond follows him and they begin sword
  fighting again. Finally, Edmond kills Fernand,
  and goes back to Mercedes and Alber and Jaccapo.
  At the very end, Edmond buys the Chateau D'if
  thanks the Priest for his wisdom and help.
