Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo is the featured text in three classroom activities. The first activity asks readers to analyze the description of Edmond Dantes in Chapter XVII, paying particular attention to Dumas' word choice that reveals the author's tone. Next, scholars compare and contrast Mercedes and Madame Danglars and their roles in the revenge plot. Finally, pupils participate in a Socratic discussion of whether or not revenge is ever justified.
