The narrator describes the count as bearing an expression suggesting the possibility of forgiveness if Danglars would only repent, but do you believe that any sort of supplication could sway the count from his determined vengeance?
Given how easily the count manipulates Danglars’ vanity, does it seem surprising that Danglars has the wits to give up his financial reputation—the only thing he cares about—and flee?
u/SunshineCat made a good point about the contrast between how Danglars, here, and Morrel, in Chapter 50 (“The Fifth of September”) deal with impending insolvency. How do we square the fact that Morrel’s death would have been nobler than Danglars’ flight but more difficult on his loved ones?
Final sentence of chapter:
“‘It is still valid for another two months.’”
