The so-called happiness and misfortune are only because of the comparison between situations. Only those who have held a plank in the ocean through a miserable storm can appreciate the true value of happiness. In 1846, French writer Alexandre Dumas completed the serialization of his novel The Count of Monte Cristo, which tells the story of Edmond Dantès, the first mate of ship Pharaon, who is framed and imprisoned at Chateau d’If, but escapes with the help of a noble priest and succeeds in taking revenge as the Count of Monte Cristo. The legendary work was an instant hit, widely-acclaimed and enduringly popular. The hero, Edmond Dantès, is a young, promising first mate of the ship Pharaon, the tortured prisoner No. 34 at Chateau d’If, and the scheming, hateful and conflicted Count of Monte Cristo. The process of his revenge is so intricate and fascinating. In the end, he chooses forgiveness, completing the redemption of himself and conveying the warmth of humanity.
