The Three Musketeers

Athos wife was Milady de Winter but she was an evil woman who attempted to murder both him and d'Artagnan because they were the only two who knew about her secret. Before the story started Athos had married Milady and when she fell from her horse he was devastated to find that his wife carried the mark of a criminal and had her hung from a tree. She survived and is the main enemy to the Musketeers, particularily to d'Artagnan and Athos when she finds out that he's still alive.

It's technically three, but then D'Artagnan joins and becomes four.

felton was the one who killed the duke because he thought it was the right thing to do

Isaac de Portau is the person to which the character of Porthos was based upon. Porthos is friends with Athos, Aramis & D'Artagnan.

Porthos is festive type, always trying to drink, play and have mistresses.

D'Artagnan joins with Porthos, Aramis & Athos....

Well, when you say the names of The Three Musketeers, you can pronounce them like this: "Athos" is pronounced as "A-thos," "Porthos" is pronounced as "Por-thos," and "Aramis" is pronounced as "A-ra-mis." Each name has its own unique rhythm and flow, just like the strokes of a happy little painting. Just say them with a gentle touch, and you'll do just fine.

The Three Musketeers is a work of fiction by Alexandre Dumas. The screenplay of the films was written by George MacDonald Fraser, who died recently. I'd recommend you read 'Quartered Safe Out Here' which are his recollections of war in WW2, a nice book. Dumas writing is very heavily detailed, his powers of description are very intense, and I am sure based upon the truth, as he saw it at the time, at least.

I believe that Iwould look at the voice of the power structure in the novel like the church or aristocracy. According to Bahktin, all voices in a society are present. ONe can learn the opions of the powerless by reading what those in power are tyring to control.

The Trumans

The names of the musketeers from the novel by Alexander Dumas are Porthos, Aramis, and Athos, Pothos is not correct. The correct spelling is Porthos.

Milady when she was at a ball thrown by the Duke of Buckingham.

Yes, but it will be terrible. Since the plot will be changed (it better be, or else it will be another repeat) and the majority of the movie will have computer effects added in therefore will look good but unrealistic and terrible.

Les Mousquetaires du Roi were formed in 1622 under Louis XIII. Its main function was to form the King's bodyguard in peacetime. Its members were all of noble ancestry, and mostly aged between 17 and 20. In time of war, the regiment fought with the army, either infantry or cavalry. They were at first armed with that new invention, the flintlock musket. However, these early muskets were up to 8 feet long and weighed about 20 pounds. This was useless to cavalry, and not much use for an elite corps of infantry expected to charge at the run - especially as they would also have to carry a forked stick on which to rest the thing while firing. The muskets, therefore, did not last long; but the name remained. Incidentally, Charles de Batz-Castelmore, Comte d'Artagnan(c. 1611 - 25 June 1673) served Louis XIV as captain of the Musketeers of the Guard and died at the Siege of Maastricht in the Franco-Dutch War.

No, and seriously, what woman would want such rampant womanizers for husband?

Athos was married and he hung his wife.

And I guess D'Aramis wasn't all that bad, chaste but had some rather creepy ideas about love and honour.

EMF - Unbelievable

The Three Musketeers was written by Alexandre Dumas in 1844, the 19th Century.

Aramis... His full character name is Rene d'Aramis de Vannes (born Rene d'Herblay)

Swords are typically used as phallic symbols in literature, and that remains true with this novel. Recall the beginning of the novel where, at the Jolly Miller inn, D'Artagnan attempts to draw his sword and it's, well, truncated. To cross swords with another man is deemed an honor in D'Artagnan's world.
