The count of Mount Quito is divided into four parts. The first part is about the hero's experience in prison and the action of repaying kindness after prison break. The second, third and fourth parts describe the tortuous course of the protagonist's revenge. The novel takes Kidu Mountain as the central clue of the story development, that is, promoting good and punishing evil, repaying kindness and revenge. Excellent use of suspense, surprise, discovery, drama and other skills, in the narrative has a greater narrative density and complex relationship between characters. All these make this novel full of narrative tension and the beauty produced by narrative itself.
In addition to the legendary story of "One Thousand and One Nights", Count Laojieshan has a strong color of promoting good and punishing evil and upholding justice. The representative of "goodness" in the book is the old shipowner Moller, and the representative of "evil" is Fernand, Douglas and Villefort. Morrel, the old ship owner, is honest and trustworthy. He once took political risks to rescue Edmond who was arrested and helped to take care of Edmond's old and sick father. Even though his cargo ship was on the verge of bankruptcy, he abided by the loan agreement and fulfilled his repayment obligations. One good turn deserves another. When maurer was so desperate that he almost committed suicide, Edmund helped him generously and selflessly. This is the main paragraph of "promoting goodness" in the book. But what is more thrilling is the description of "punishing evil" in the book. The Count of Mount Quito spent nine years fully preparing for his revenge. Expose Vernon's ugly history, make him ruined and shoot himself; Humiliate Douglas, let him go bankrupt in speculation and force him to abscond; Expose the crime of burying Villefort's illegitimate child alive. He finally dealt with his three enemies in different ways of revenge.
The novel is full of romanticism, and besides the excellent plot design, it can also imagine some "unrealistic" content with fantasy color. Take life in a black prison as an example. Edmond happened to live next door to old Faria. But the old Faria's escape plan went wrong, and the tunnel passed through their cell. This is another accident. The elder Faria is knowledgeable and knows the location of a huge fortune, which seems to be only deliberately arranged in the novel. Edmund can't accomplish his "decent" revenge without knowledge and wealth, while Faria has both. Moreover, Faria has a strange disease and needs a strange potion to treat it. These contents present a unique "myth" color. The death of old Faria enabled Edmund to escape. By analogy, without Faria, a seemingly unrealistic figure, the novel could not continue to develop, and Edmund could not complete his "enlightenment" career, thus moving from naivety to maturity and from ignorance to knowledge. Dumas will combine reality with non-reality, and readers will never feel cheated, but gain a sense of satisfaction that their imagination transcends reality. Feeling the strength and talent of a superman is one of the characteristics of romance novels. Romanticism in the novel is also reflected in the idealization of characters. Especially the depiction of Edmund in the revenge stage shows that the author's dream of dominating everything is carefully planned and tricked, and his enemies are pushed to the edge step by step. All the people became dolls under his operation. The Count of Mount Quito became the incarnation of God.
Revenge is one of the common themes in classical literature. What is the significance of the theme of revenge? If we don't describe personal revenge in isolation, but describe the revenge of the characters in a certain social background and express it in complex class struggles and social contradictions, then we can expose some essential aspects of social life and make the works have certain social significance.
The means of revenge in Gaohanyu Mountain is the power of money. Originally, the capitalist world was the world of money, and the relationship between people was naked money. A correct description of the role of money will bring certain value to the works, just as Balzac, a master of critical realism, criticized Gao Laotou and Eugénie? As Grandet reflected. Dumas vividly depicts scenes where Caderousse and Madame de Villefort kill people for money, but from the basic tendency of the whole novel, the relationship between money is not to expose and criticize, but to praise and praise, thus propagating the wrong idea that money can dominate everything.
In a word, The Count of Quito Mountain is a masterpiece of narrative art .. She combines elements of various narrative genres such as romantic legends, novels and stories, and writes a bizarre and tortuous work full of narrative art charm. When we appreciate it, we should pay special attention to the excessive sense of revenge and money worship in the book.
