        <description><![CDATA[There are three main themes I feel to be important in The Three Musketeers; Quests, Love, and Brotherhood.  Like many young heroes, d'Artagnan is first and foremost on a quest to gain his own fortune.  Although he has been born into royalty, he still must prove himself worthy of the position of Musketeer.  With aid from a friend of his father's he becomes a guard, and because of his inquisitiveness and pride, he is able to prove his worth...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The narrative style of The Three Musketeers is told in straight and direct third person form.  It is told in a manner that highlights the heroism of D'Artagnan and his friends, and does not spend a great deal of time in developing characters, as much as it does in narrating adventures.  Originally published in a serialized and incremental format in a newspaper, the work does read like a "telenovela" or a serial that builds off of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Like other novels of Alexandre Dumas, &quot;The Three Musketeers&quot; is a historical romance, a narrative with historical background.  The three musketeers personify three faults of the time period:  melancholy, pride, and religious hypocrisy.  Set during the reign of Louis XIII, the predecessor to the great, powerful King Louis XIV who built an empire for France, the narrative of &quot;The Three Musketeers&quot; is set against the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This novel by Dumas explores the larger than life exploits of the musketeers who risked life and limb to fight for what is good and right. Set in the time of Louis XIII, the author brings the heroics and characters of the men alive. The musketeers take risks average men would never dare and always end as the heroes despite their flaws.This novel originally published in 1844-1845 is still a cornerstone for modern day motion pictures!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Just to add a bit to tthakker's answer regarding the nature of courtly love, a very different way of thinking than our modern notions of romantic love.  &quot;Romance&quot; does not mean the precisely the same thing today as it did to the Three Muskateers.  In The Art of Courtly Love, Andreas Cappellanus lists the &quot;rules&quot; of chivalry and courtly love.  Here are the &quot;Top Ten&quot;:Marriage is no real excuse for not loving. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One major conflict can be found in Chapter 26, in which Aramis struggles between love and religion.&nbsp; &quot;As long as a person loves, and is loved in return, and knows the whereabouts of his beloved, religious matters rarely fill one with anguish. But if one feels rejected in love, as does Aramis, then a viable alternative to love in this world is a religious life in a monastery. That is, when Aramis thinks that he has been rejected, he...]]></description>
