Abbé Faria draws a line Dantès hadn’t yet seen: escape is war against circumstance—not war against men. He explains why he cannot kill a guard, even in pursuit of freedom. For Faria, the soul is as real a boundary as any wall, and to cross it is to lose a part of himself. Dantès, stirred by the conviction behind the refusal, begins to reflect on his own buried instincts.
The path forward is no longer just physical—it’s moral.
