While we now understand why Busoni bought the property next to Villefort’s, the measures the count takes seem extreme. In particular, here, instead of revealing to Valentine who’s poisoning her, he subjects her to the would-be assassin once again. Does the count have a psychological need for dramatics?
The title of this chapter echoes the title of Chapter 34 (“An Apparition”); here, too, the count seems ghostlike. Is he haunting the narrative? If so, can we consider him the ghost of Dantès?
Final sentence of chapter:
“And with this terrible warning, the count disappeared through the door, which closed silently behind him.”
