1) Given the chapter title (a reference to a pair of lovers in Ovid’s Metamorphoses), is Dumas forcing characters to play roles the way the count is?
2) What does the fact that the story of Pyramus and Thisbe served as the basis for Romeo and Juliet suggest about the possibility of true love in TCoMC?
3) The story of Pyramus and Thisbe is central also to the farcical A Midsummer Night’s Dream; given the fine line that often separates comedy from tragedy, is there any way to read TCoMC as a comedy?
Final sentence of chapter:
“‘How does the Count of Monte Cristo happen to know Monsieur de Villefort?’”
