some redraws of characters from the musical Der Graf von Monte Christo as cats- featuring Edmond, Faria, Fernand, Danglars, Villefort, & Jacopo.

4 greyscale drawings of anthro cats. The first is of two cats sitting on the floor holding onto each other. The tallest one is pale with large ears & tabby markings & wears loose, ragged clothes. His eyes are focused on the middle distance with a pleading look. He has his arms around a smaller cat, who has a round face with tuxedo markings, & white hands. This cat wears a long, dark robe. He looks dazed, staring off to the side with his mouth open slightly. He holds onto the other cat's arm with one hand, & has his other hand on the ground. The second drawing is of two cats conversing, cut off at their knees. The left cat is a furry dark tabby cat wearing fancy clothes, including a coat with coattails & a bowtie. He's holding onto a small cup & looking at the other cat with his eyes squinted slightly & his mouth pursed. The other cat is very fluffy & grey, wearing a rumpled shirt tucked into his pants & a loose coat. He's holding up a cup of his own in a cheering motion. He has his head tilted as if asking a question, with his smiling mouth open mid-speaking & his eyebrow quirked up. The third drawing is of a sleek black cat with a long face & big ears. He wears a coat with a large collar, high-waisted pants, knee-high socks and dark shoes. He's leaning against a wall with one hand, & gripping a small piece of paper with the other. His head is down and he looks distressed. The fourth & final drawing is of a round calico cat with a mostly white face & a torn ear, facing the viewer. He wears a long, sleek, dark coat with buttons on the chest, with dark pants & shoes. He looks towards the side with an open smile. In one hand he holds a large staff, & the other hand is held out in a flourish. End descriptions.

have you got any tcomc playlists? 👁️👁️

OH, ABSOLUTELY I DO

i posted them a while back but i can't be bothered to find the post, so if i do i'll delete it to keep from clogging up the tags...

as i've said before, it's been a hot minute since i've really participated in the fandom (i'd like to remedy that), so some of my views on the characters have changed a bit since i made these? so not all of the song choices are perfect imo anymore... but i am constantly tweaking these playlists so it's whatever.

oh also also, a couple of these are major WIPs, lol. ANYWAY.

putting them under a read-more cut so that nobody hates me for the length of the post, lmao

here's Edmond's:

here's Fernand:

here's Villefort:

here's Danglars (one of the ones i'm less happy with lol):

here's Caderousse (my favourite character heheh):

here's Mercédès:

here's Albert (idk this one's a WIP):

here's Benedetto (another of my favourites!!):

and finally, Valentine! (my beautiful darling sweetheart):

i also have playlists for a couple ships i like, so if you're interested in those, feel free to ask, but they're not quite as good lol

Spooky AU Prelude/Interval: “A Brief Debate Over Metaphors”

Oh? A Spooky AU Monte Cristo thing on Tumblr?

Yes, it’s back again… kinda. Sorry for the unintended hiatus, but I think my brain just got stalled trying to write the next chapter and then I ditched it by mistake. Smh.

But, to make up for it, how’s about a little scene to fill in the gaps and serve as a recap?… Hopefully.

—

It was late into the night when most of the sailors hobbled down to the lower decks. The first mate, ever vigilant, remained on board to steer the ship and watch for any trouble. His eyes surveyed the empty world of wooden planks and tar-black sky before him. The only thing that broke this dismal view was the shadowy form of one of the younger members on-board. While the distance between them made it hard for the first mate to see who it was, the strange combination of a slumped-over posture yet somewhat-groomed hair told all. “What are you doing up here, Danglars?” the navigator cried out. “I thought you’d be down in the cellars double-checking the accountant’s assessments!”

The young man turned his head. “I would’ve, but the way the moon shines on this sea has beckoned me,” he answered, hardly raising his already salt-stricken voice. “I guess you could say the glimmer of diamonds can lure me in like a siren.” He shook his head as he smiled at his own joke.

“Well, don’t stay up here for too long,” the first mate advised, now readjusting to his own duty. “The fellows told me that there’ll be a fog rolling in an half-an-hour or so. And, since I’m sure our employer would not be pleased with one of his newest sailors’ faces being wrecked by a mast under my supervision, I’d say you may as well run to the lower decks for your own good. Maybe even tattle on those scallawags playing the Hornpipe down there, for all I care.”

Danglars gave a signal of affirmation, then returned to staring at the water below. As he stared, he almost became entranced with his reflection like Narcissus with his visage in the pool. But, instead of self-interested lust, his fixation seemed to be out of growing hatred. His scars, signs of storm-ridden voyages and many a close encounter with death itself, now felt like tears on an already-tarnished painting. Or, perhaps if one were to be more in line with his current thoughts, a painting as warped and battered as the waves’ current portrait of him. His legs quivered underneath him, threatening to give way to his bitter musings. He shut his eyes to block the image from his mind. 

Then, like a bird song breaking through the ominous silence of the night, a strange idea stopped his spiral. He lifted his head and looked out into the water. “Forgive me for risking the crew’s safety through bringing up superstitions,” he spoke up, masking his recovery from desperation with his most casual tone of voice, “but am I right in saying that there is no exact rules on who can be lured by a siren?”

Auguste blinked in surprise. “From what little I know, I’m sure any temptress like that would only care if the prey is nourished,” he answered, his eyes only glancing at the youth for a moment. “Why are you in such a curious mood, Danglars? Do you want to volunteer for live bait?”

“No, no!” Danglars hurriedly answered, realizing his unintended implications that this question posed. “I was just wondering if these scaly creatures had a preference for certain sailors— Aside from a high gullibility or an acute fondness for well-sung odes.”

“Not to my knowledge,” Auguste responded, tilting his head to the side as if to mimic shrugging one’s shoulders. Then, processing what he saw from the corner of his eye, he sighed gravelly. “Look here, Danglars,” he resumed in a more gentile but concerned manner. “If you’re trying to say that you have a better chance at being caught by a twisted creature of the deep than getting a lass on shore, then I think you’re selling yourself too short. A bruised apple will still be fine food for someone, even if it is bruised. You, of all my younger crew mates, should know that.”

“But if the apple, say, doesn’t even look like an apple?”

“If the insides are fine, then what does it matter?” Auguste huffed, gripping the ship’s wheel tightly out of sheer self-restraint. “So long as you make sure that the seed’s poison doesn’t spread to the rest, then all’s well! Honestly, how much of a self-critic do you have to be at your age? You’re nineteen going on twenty! I’m about fifteen years older than you, and I’d say I’m in rougher shape than you’ve ever been!” And, with those silvery-white streaks in his hair, he already had a right to say this.

Danglars stepped away from the edge of the vessel, politely nodding while withholding every single rebuttal he wished to lash out. “Fair enough, i suppose,” he said with a slight grit of his teeth. “But I still think that you’ve aged far more gracefully that I ever will, sir.”

“Well, by that time, you should be married!”

“We shall see if I will even be a suitor, sir. I cannot promise what I run the risk of failing to deliver.”

Auguste fought the urge to abandon his post and drag the doubter towards the rest of the crew. Instead, he lowered his reddened face and shut his eyes. “Let me echo your ‘fair enough’ and leave you be, then,” he groaned. “But I’m still calling your bluff, to put it bluntly, stupid.”

“As will I, sir,” Danglars retorted, bowing slightly out of what little respect he had for his superior at the moment. “Good night.”

—Many years later…—

Danglars now rummaged through these distant arguments as he stood before the window of this dingy Inn bedroom. Now about as old as Auguste himself (if not ahead of him by a few years), one would think that these pieces of an elder’s wisdom would’ve been confirmed through his own experiences.

Alas for him as well as those who think so, they did not. In fact, the opposite seemed to ring true. Even if the parts near the toxic seeds were as preserved as Auguste hoped, they still didn’t seem to matter. The bruised apple was still a bruised apple. Maybe not even an apple, at this rate.

However, Danglars had one last pithy statement that could serve as a counterpoint. “Gold still has value, no matter how old the coins are,” he muttered, as if he had finally found the answer to some lifelong riddle. “And jewels themselves, though cut down by knives— or whatever those gem-crafters use, are still cherished by those looking for them.” His eyes glistened as what lingering creative tendencies he had revived itself. “The apple metaphor was rubbish, but its application was close—!”

The creaking of the door cut off Danglars’ fevered ramblings. His slacked grin fell as soon as he saw a figure standing in the doorway. “Ah, I’m sorry,” he said before using a coughing to hide the tinge of embarrassment on his face (for once). “I was reminiscing on the past a bit too much, I suspect. What can I do to help you, sir?”

The stranger, still encased in shadows, shut the door and advanced a few steps forwards. “I was wanting to commiserate on your… unfortunate situation,” he admitted, feigning an air of somber grief. “But I see now why she left you for someone else.”

Danglars shuddered, but remained as indignant as ever. “If you wish to insult me, don’t try aiming for my countenance,” he scoffed, crossing his arms. “I’ve been aware of its horrid state for decades. If you must wish to make light of it, then please be original.”

“I will do my best,” the stranger answered with a sneering tone. “At least the moon’s light aids me in seeing you a lot better. A shame no one else must’ve thought that.”

The Calendar of Monte Cristo: Chapter 27

1815: Danglars leaves Marseille and becomes an accounts clerk in Spain.

1815: Marriage of Gaspard Caderousse and Madeleine Radelle.

1815: Fernand and Caderousse called up for military service.

16 June 1815: Battle of Ligny. Fernand goes over to the English. [H]

1815: Following the Second Restoration, Fernand returns to France as a sub-lieutenant.

c.February 1816: Fernand, now a lieutenant, begins courting Mercédès. [R]

c.August 1816: Marriage of Fernand and Mercédès. [R]

18??: Birth of Albert.

1821: Caderousse visits Danglars and Fernand to ask for help after his business fails.

1823: l’Expédition d’Espagne. Danglars makes the beginning of his fortune supplying the French army. Fernand ends the war as Comte de Morcerf, a colonel and an officer of the Legion of Honour. [H]

1821–1829: Greek War of Independence. Fernand enters the service of Ali Pasha. [H]

182?: Danglars marries his first wife.

182?: Danglars’s first wife dies.

182?: Danglars marries his second wife, the widow Madame de Nargonne.

182?: Danglars becomes a baron.

June 1829: Caderousse tells Abbé Busoni what became of Edmond’s friends. Abbé Busoni gives Caderousse a diamond. [R]

Caderousse's narrative doesn’t contain any explicit dates, which serves to obscure a chronologically interesting aspect of Fernand’s career. Caderousse states definitely that Fernand served in l’Expédition d’Espagne, including the capture of the Trocadero, and then went on to serve under Ali Pasha until his death – but Ali Pasha died in January 1822, before l’Expédition d’Espagne and the capture of the Trocadero in 1823.

There’s also something up with the fair that Caderousse mentions at the end of the chapter, that he’s planning to find a jeweller at. He’s presumably referring to the annual trade fair at Beaucaire, which was a big deal: reputedly, more trade was done at Beaucaire during the week of the fair than in Marseille in an entire year. The thing is, by my count (which will be substantiated in later chapters) this scene is taking place in early June, and the fair was held in the last week of July.

On the steps d'Avrigny met the relative whom Villefort had mentioned, an insignificant personage both in the family and in this story, one of those being who are born to play a purely utilitarian role in the world.

Characters in the count of monte cristo

Those he love are showered with blessings and protection. But these extreme emotions of wrath only extend to those he hates. 35) He uses his outward warm nature to manipulate those around him into harming his enemies. men to all the tortures his fiery imagination could contrive, but even the cruelest ones seemed too mild and too short for them." (Pg. 147) Yet his true nature and motives are quite the opposite. Monsieur de Morcerf was "obviously charmed by what Monte Cristo had said." (Pg. He appears to his houseguests as a gracious and understanding host who always seeks to please. Even through Dantes time in prison (and for the grand scheme of the text this really is a short time), there is the constant hope that he will be freed.The Count of Monte Cristo has many sides to his personality, and is anything but one-dimensional. This drives the plot in a near auto-pilot-esque way because what would a novel be if the protagonist didn’t win out in the end? Certainly not as good. With the exception of one or two wild cards, it is very apparent from the beginning that Edmond has those that are on his side, and those that are very apparently not. His father’s allegiance to the Bonapartist Party seems to be doing him no favors and Edmond even less! It is very clear that Villefort is acting on his own self interest and is trying to ensure that none of his father’s acts serve as a detriment to Villefort’s own life.įrom the little knowledge I have of The Three Muskateers, I feel as though Dumas often splits his novels into two categories “us versus them”. These characters, although self motivated, seem round in complexity but static in character they had a lot fueling their actions but the ideals that drive them, namely greed, do not seem as though they will change all that much.ĭuring Edmond’s arrest Villefort is almost more suspicious than any of the other characters in the text. He and his cohort in Edmond’s arrest, Baron Danglars, seem to be the most important antagonists. Edmond’s arrest is most quickly blamed on Fernand by many a reader (you’d be lying if you said you didn't know he had something to do with it), and the thoughts of Edmond’s coming revenge is enough to keep anyone turning the pages. The way he just couldn’t seem to accept Mercedes and Edmond tying the knot was an immediate clue in that he would be up to no good soon. Her act of marrying Fernand while Edmond was in prison, however, works as a significant plot point, because Edmond seeks revenge on Fernand for more reasons than just one.įernand Mondego could be pegged as a story’s antagonist from a mile away. Mercedes seems to be driven by several different types of motives, creating in her a round character. As she said that she could never be with anyone other than her beloved Dantes the first red flag was set off in my mind. This encounter sets the reader with a positive outlook on Mercedes, for she is incredibly faithful to the love of her life Edmond. Mercedes is first seen talking to Fernand Mondego, who is dead set on marrying her for he is deeply in love with his cousin. But, when a text is over 500 pages and the main character manages to get his dream job and his dream wife in the first few chapters, the foreshadowing does not have to be that blatant to let the reader know that something is about to go down.Įdmond’s dream wife as previously mentioned, is Mercedes. At 19 years old he is already “set” to be captain of the ship he was a crew member for. He’s a round, obviously dynamic character. The Count of Monte Cristo makes very evident that the protagonist of the text is Edmond Dantes. (It often seems like the first day of a new school when everyone is expected to remember everyone else after the first class period) The beginning of a text is the most imperative time to introduce and shape the characters of a novel, and is therefore the most difficult time to understand everything that is going on. A novel’s plot is developed first and foremost through the interactions of its characters.

A WISH FOR THE GRAIL.

          Avenger wants nothing more than what he perceives as revenge against the scores of people across the world that are currently the cause of it’s many problems– the cruel, selfish, two-faced, greedy, immoral, masses. In other words, he desires revenge against the type of people who wronged him in his story, people like Armand Dorleac, Baron Danglars, Gérard de Villefort, and Fernand Mondego. If Avenger got his hands on the Grail, and it actually granted his wish, he would use it to exact that revenge, seeing to it that every sinister person alive was tortured and burned for every wrong they had ever committed. If his wish were to be carried out correctly, only the innocent would still walk the earth when all was said and done, with evil itself being permanently extinguished among mankind.

         Avenger would not be able to exist in such a world should it come into creation of course, for while he is a necessary evil that has been thrust upon the world, he is still evil, and so he too, would be wiped from the face of the earth upon the conclusion of his wish. However, Avenger knows this, and is okay with it, as he has no desire to live in the reality he would create by making his wish anyways. Vengeance is Avenger’s sole purpose in life (go figure), and achieving it (by wishing upon the grail or otherwise) is all he desires. To him, nothing else matters.

Blake being in the Monte Cristo series and not playing Edmond Dantes? We lost!

I agree he would have slayed it as Edmond, or Villefort for that matter, but I bet he'll bring lots of his own flair to Danglars, character. They've also said they'll explore the psychology of all the characters, so I think that sounds like they'll have a more complex take on the villains as well, especially in comparison to other adaptations.

The Count of Monte Cristo

Currently 40% through the book.

I am enjoying it. I truly am. But if I was to reread, I will find the abridged version. Do I regret picking the full translated version? No... but I really do forget who is who and how they tie in a LOT.

So at the moment...

Dantes was arrested for being a Napoleon supporter. He was betrayed by: Danglars (jealously over his new position as Captain), Fernard Mondego (jealously over the fiancee Mercedes), and Caderousse (who does nothing to prevent the set up from happening), and Villefort (who did nothing to save Dantes, instead hid evidence against his own father).

Dantes meets Abbe Faria who teaches him a lot and also reveals hidden treasure. Dantes escapes after Faria's death.

Dantes becomes rich.

Disguised as Abbe Busoni, he meets Caderousse. He learns Mercedes married Fernand and has a son called Albert, and his father died from grief.

Danglers and Fernard are rich and powerful. Danglers married a wealthy widow (de Norgonne) and Fernard went into the military.

Dantes gives Caderousse a diamond. And then saves his old employer (aka the only decent guy) Morrel from bankruptcy (and suicide) in a different disguise.

9 years later:

Dantes is now the Count of Monte Cristo. Fernard is now Count de Morcerf, Danglers is a Baron, and Villefort is a prosecutor for the King.

In Rome, Dantes has Albert kidnapped by a famous bandit (Luigi) and then rescues him. Albert and Dantes become "friends".

Dantes gets a new home in Auteuil where he learns about his servant Bertuccio.

Bertuccio has issues with Villefort who also refused to help him after his brother was murdered. Bertuccio tracked Villefort down at home and learns of an infant who was a product of an affair. He saves the child and he is raised by Bertuccio's sister. Child is named Benedetto and is a psycho.

Benedetto ends up killing Bertuccio's sister.

Bertuccio also reveals that Caderouse murdered his wife and a jeweller to keep all money for himself. Bertuccio is blamed for this murder and talks to Abbe Busoni (Dantes) about it and tricks Bertuccio into his employment.

I know for a fact there's even more going on but it's difficult to keep up half the time. I need a timeline of events. And also a web of characters to know who is who and how they connect.
