The Three Musketeers | Topics for Discussion

1. The title of the book is The Three Musketeers, but the story seems to be mostly about d'Artagnan, who does not become a musketeer until late in the story. What point is Dumas making with the title?

2. Which of the three musketeers is your favorite? Why?

3. Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan each keep a servant. How does each servant suit his master?

4. When he arrives in Paris, d'Artagnan unintentionally picks a fight with each of the three musketeers. What do the reasons for each quarrel tell you about the personality of each of the musketeers?...
