Written by Alexander Dumas, it's a tale of revenge.
It centres around a man who is falsely imprisoned, and subsequently escapes. He 'climbs the ladder of society' - gaining wealth and influence as he progresses. The sole aim of his actions is to exact revenge on those who wrongfully imprisoned him.

Go to Wikipedia under the search "The Count of Monte Cristo" then go to the characters category and it will show all of their names. (I can't spell all Of their names)
Edmund Dantes, or the Count of Monte Cristo is the protagonist. It is his story that we follow from beginning to end, and while at times he has reforms, at all times he is considered the main, central, favored character. Sub-protagonists include Maximillien Morrel, Valentine Villeforte, Haydee and Albert and Mercedes Morcef.
No, Edmond Dantes does not toast Albert de Morcerf in "The Count of Monte Cristo". In fact, Albert is the son of Fernand Mondego, one of Edmond's enemies, and their relationship is complicated and entangled in the revenge plot of the story.
Shawshank Redemption is my all time favourite movie. It has got tragedy, drama, victory over severe odds. Now apparently The Count of Monte Cristo has a different plot line set in a different milieu - the only commonality in the storyline being the jailbreak. Yet in spirit the two films I feel, are exactly same. The Revenge in both are stylish, muted and so fundamental to the storyline that it redeems itself in its execution. Perhaps the revenge in shawshank was swift as the last move in a game of chess while Monte Cristo scores higher on the melodrama and slower to checkmate the King. In fact now I have a strong suspicion that the author of Shawshank may have been strongly "inspired" by Monte Cristo. Frankly I have lost a little respect for the storyline of the movie after I saw Monte Cristo.
"I am a Maltese Sailor" "I am Abbé Bussoni" "I am the Count of Monte Cristo" Whenever he tells his rivals fake titles and names, and not reveal his actual name (Edmond Dantès), it is verbal irony
Monte Cristo first begins by making an unlimited account with Danglars and later withdraws 5 million dollars which leaves Danglars bankrupt. Then when Danglars leaves town Monte Cristo has Luigi Vampa kidnap Danglars and take all of his money and starves Danglars nearly to the point of death as a way of punishment for letting his father die.
Rizal's life is related to to Monte cristo its because of the things that had happen to their life all the agonies, betrayal and revenge.......!?....
Some similarities between "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas and Jose Rizal's novels like "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo" include themes of social injustice, revenge, and redemption. Both explore the consequences of oppression and corruption in society, as well as the moral dilemmas faced by the protagonists in seeking justice. Additionally, all three works incorporate elements of romance, betrayal, and the struggle for personal and societal freedom.
The moral lesson is that pure revenge does not satisfy. Though he had been greatly wronged, the Count spent all of his effort extracting revenge. When the revenge was finally extracted and the dust settles, the result is but a hollow victory. Though the people who had ruined his life, so were others who were innocent of any grievance.
the three musketeers the man in the iron mask the count of Monte cristo that's all I can think of just now a more complete list would be found on wikipedia.
first of all its Fernand not Fernanda! first and foremost this is Mercedes' cousin. he is obsessively in love with her and this leads him to commit his crime against Edmond Dantes (the count of Monte cristo later in the book). when fernand, danglars and caderouse are discussing their despise of edmond and danglars writes the dooming letter it is fernand who sends it. once edmond becomes the count of Monte cristo and resolves to take revenge Fernand suffers the fate of commiting suicide after being mentally tortured by the various characters that the count becomes it is when Edmond reveals himself to Fernand that he flees the counts mansion to discover his daughter and mother leaving and it is then that he commits suicide. this is of course to go along with everything that the count had done to him in the build up! this book was recommended to me by my grandmother and i must tell you that no other books come close to this book. it is the best book i have ever or will ever read in my entire life and if you have not read this book i plead with you to read it. it will be lifechanging...
The Count of Monte Cristo chooses not to eat in front of others as a way of concealing his identity and maintaining an air of mystery. By avoiding public dining, he can control his interactions and keep his true intentions hidden from those around him.
