        <description><![CDATA[Beginning with the arrival of a merchant ship that has been at sea for a year, "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas has much of its plot that contains adventure.  When the young first mate, Edmund Dantes, disembarks, he is the bearer of the sad news to the ship's owner, Monsieur Morrel, that the ship's captain has died.  Interestingly, Dantes also tells Morrel in his response to the owner's questions about Danglar, the purser,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Perhaps the most salient symbol in "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas is the little red purse that originally belongs to Edmund Dantes father.  This purse originally contained money that was given by Monsieur Morrel to Dantes's poor father after Caderousse extorted everything from the man. After his return to Marseilles, Dantes recovers the purse and later fills it with a gem that will pay a debt which Monsieur Morrel now...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There is a underlying suggestion of corruption in the society of Alexandre Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo."  Incarcerated for purely political reasons, Edmund Dantes learns of more political corruption as he is in prison with the Abbe Faria, sentenced as a anti-Bonapartist while Dantes is labeled a Bonapartist.  The Abbe's tale of the fortune includes details of the Borgia family and the Cardinal hats, high positions in the Catholic...]]></description>
