In this chilling final exchange between Morrel and Villefort, hope and duplicity intertwine.

Dumas masterfully juxtaposes sincere loyalty with political calculation, reminding us how private ambition often moves beneath the surface of public duty.
Topics Covered:

•The lost petition that seals Dantès’ fate
•Political opportunism during the Hundred Days
