Here, the count lets Haydée humiliate Fernand, similar to how in Chapter 83 (“The Hand of God”) he lets Benedetto murder Caderousse… are you surprised to see someone so obsessed with punishing his enemies positioning others to be the instruments of his revenge?
Does Dumas succeed in turning Haydée from victim into conqueress? Or does she seem, even in her a moment of glory, like a tool of the count?
Final sentence of chapter:
“Then, once more covering herself with her veil, majestically she took her leave of the counsellors and walked out with that bearing which Virgil described as the walk of a goddess.”
