was a mixed reaction. First of all, Count of Monte Cristo was about a man named Edmond Dantes who was a young merchant sailor, was secretly imprisoned, and lock up in a dark and gloomy cell. For me, it was unjust for the four men responsible for his imprisonment. The reason why is because he lost hope and his ambitions and reputations were destroyed. And if it were me in the cell locked up, I would of felt that life was hopeless and unfair. I felt pity for Edmond Dantes because he could of done so many things and could of accomplished so many things outside the cell within those span of years. I not only felt sympathy and pity towards him but also towards the feeling in his heart which was vengeance against his betrayers because instead of seeking vengeance he could just leave it to the authorities of the government.
