Chateau d'IfOur hero Edmond Dantès many years imprisoned is on the edge of losing all hope when he happens to meet another prisoner Abbé Faria in Chateau d'If. This man changes Dantès' life by first providing human contact, then educating Dantès in the ways of the world and the ways of society as well, and then by telling him where a great treasure is hidden. Unfortunately, the abbé dies as the two are planning an escape from Chateau d'If. However, after the death Dantès escapes on his own, finds the fortune, and begins a grand scheme to get his revenge on the trio who had him falsely imprisoned.
So many years have passed and Dantès' prison experience was so devastating that upon his return to the outside world no one, not even those closest to him, recognize him. Aside from the physical transformation, he has advanced intellectually due to the abbé's teaching and also has a great fortune. However, the greatest change of all is in his psychology. Dantès is no longer trusting and naive. Now he is cynical and conniving, set on revenge. In fact, all these changes make it possible for Edmond Dantès to re-invent himself as the Count of Monte Cristo and set his plot in motion.
The first installment is in this prior post.
