Chapter 98 / XCVIII - “The Inn of the Bell and Bottle” reading discussion
Post Body

  1. At the beginning of the chapter, the narrator adds in details about Andrea’s fleeing from Danglars’ home in the previous chapter, claiming to have “forgotten” to relate these details at the time. Does this seem like a device contrived to make it easier for the reader to follow the plot from installment installment? Or is it possible that Dumas is adding in this detail retroactively?

  2. Does the device of having Andrea cross paths with Eugénie and Louise feel modernist (in the vein of Pulp Fiction) or lazy?

  3. What attitude do you think Dumas has toward the relationship between Eugénie and Louise?

Final sentence of chapter:

“By then, Andrea had already spent one night as a prisoner in the Conciergerie.”
