Edmond Dantès disappears—but the pain he left behind does not.
As the empire crumbles, so too do the lives tethered to Dantès. Fernand marches off with one last glimmer of hope. Mercédès wanders the shore, torn between devotion and despair. Caderousse is sent to the border. And the old man—who waited for his son with trembling hope—dies quietly in Mercédès’ arms. In this mournful chapter, Dumas shows us what it means not just to lose someone, but to live in the silence they leave behind.
Topics Covered:
•Fernand’s departure and Mercédès’ suicidal grief
•The quiet death of Dantès’ father
•Morrel’s courageous compassion amidst political danger
