(I happen to be in Paris at the moment, so I strolled over to the count’s!)
Speaking of the count, he’s been out of the picture the past few chapters… do you think Dumas just wanted to explore his other characters? Or was he trying to heighten the tension by not letting his readers know exactly when, where, and how the count is operating?
After Noirtier interrupts the marriage contract signing, Valentine is described as being as joyous as a shipwreck survivor finally grabbing hold of a rock; does the general comparison to Dantès seem intentional? Or does it simply reflect the general truth that nineteenth-century society had little agency?
Final sentence of chapter:
“Château-Renaud and Morcerf exchanged a third look which was even more astonished than the first two.”
