ReplyDeleteHadley, Question One: He returns to France after finding a huge sum of jewels and gold, so he pretends to be the Count of Monte Cristo. He does this because even though he looked a lot different after prison, he still didn't want to be recognized. He also does it because you are much more likely to get what you want if you have money.
ReplyDeleteI mostly agree with you Hadley but you could've added the fact that if he came back as Edmond Dantes he would be arrested.
DeleteDantes comes back to France as the Count of Monte Cristo. I think he does this to get revenge on Fernand and Danglars so they won't recognize him and he won't get recognized by someone and get thrown back in prison.
ReplyDeleteAlejandra- I thought he came back as an Italian priest. Although, he does have multiple disguises throughout the book.

ReplyDeleteThe disguise when Dantés first returns to France is because when he first escaped everyone was on the lookout for him. This in turn had him change his beard and his hair. He had already looked so different though because he had aged so much.
Kylie- He probably looked SO different from aging so much and disguising hiself so differently.
DeleteAlejandra- When Dantes returns to France, he dresses up as a priest with expensive clothing a three-cornered hat. I think that Dantes does this so that know one will recognize him. He also might have dressed like this because he wants to get respect and be able to get information about what has happened in the past years when he went to prison.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the part where you said that he could gain respect because of his choice in clothing. Damiya
DeleteI agree with you about Dantes coming back in a disguise so no one would recognize him. Where in the book did it say Dantes dressed up as a priest?
DeleteYubee Chang Qustion 2- Dantes gets Caderousse to reveal information disguised as an old abbe trying to find out about Edmond Dantes which then makes him reveal more info about what has happened in the last 14 years to his friends and family. Caderousse eventually reveals in a way that he is Edmonds last and true best friend and gives him a diamond which was supposed to be divided between 5 people.
ReplyDeleteThis helped me unerstand the book a little bit better, i think this book is a little too confusing for me. - Kaelyn
DeleteKylie- Dantes comes back as the Count of Monte Cristo. I believe he does this so he won't get thrown back in prison. He also did this so Fernand and Danglars would fail to reconize him.
ReplyDeleteI understand he had multiple personas but I thought his initial return was as an Italian priest. But, other than that I think your comment is good.
DeleteTalon question three- Dantes get Caderousse to reveal information by posing as the abbe Faria then telling Caderousse that Edmond died in prison. Caderousse told Edmond that Fernand and Danglars wrote a letter to denounce Edmond as a Bonapartist
ReplyDeleteI think Dantes will keep the information to himself, and use it against someone if he needs to. It doesn't nessicarily have anything that could potentially hurt someone, I dont think- Kaelyn
ReplyDeleteThe disgiuse that Dantes comes back to France in was the Count of Monte Cristo. He did this to not be recognized after escaping prison. Damiya Question One
ReplyDeleteTalon- you are some what correct he went to the islands of Monte Cristo but he disguised himself as the Abbe Faria.
DeleteLandon: Question 2~ Edmond disguised himself as an Italian priest that was delivering Dantes will. The Italian priest Dantes disguises himself as tells Caderousse that Edmond found a diamond in prison and wanted to split the sum with the five people he truly loved. Caderousse and his spouse being poverty-struck took up the offer so then Caderousse seeing his chance to secure the diamond all for himself gave information about Edmond's imprisonment and events that occurred after Dantes incarceration.
ReplyDeleteMatthew: Dantes returns to France as The Count of Monte Cristo. He returns as the Count of Monte Cristo because if he returned as Edmond Dantes he would be immediately arrested.
