from The Countdown of Monte Cristo · host Grunt Work Podcasts
Dantès can hardly believe the treasure’s value, but Faria assures him such fortunes were not uncommon for noble families of the fifteenth century. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 18, the old man reveals he kept the secret to test Edmond’s character — and now claims him as his son, offering the treasure as both inheritance and bond. Overcome, Dantès embraces his friend and weeps. ⸻ New to the journey? Start from the beginning at: http://countdownofmontecristo.com Want to talk theories, themes, or betrayals?
