Madness or Truth? (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 18 – Part 3)
from The Countdown of Monte Cristo · host Grunt Work Podcasts
Faria insists he has reconstructed the burnt document and uncovered its secret — but before he can explain, footsteps interrupt. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 18, Dantès slips away to avoid hearing more, while the governor visits Faria, unaware of his paralysis. Alone, Edmond struggles to reconcile the abbé’s wisdom with the possibility that his treasure might be nothing more than madness. ⸻ New to the journey?
