Dumas has, for a long time, been a favorite author of mine. And you are absolutely correct in your remark. However, I never really thought that Villefort was doing anything to protect his father, but really himself from his father's dark political allignments.<br>In "The Man in the Iron Mask", why do you suppose Aramis (Bishop du Vannes) tells Foquet of the abduction of Louis XIV and plot to enthrone Phillipe?<br>Surely if he is worried that Foquet will suspect a fraud, then Aramis would not be confident of Phillipe of pulling off the switch, so, for me, that is not the reason.<br>The only thing that I can think of is that maybe Aramis needed someone give him that "pat on the back", reassuring him that he had done the right thing.<br>I'm writing a character annalysis on Aramis and I would greatly appreciate any input.<br>Anyone should feel free to contact me via email about their opinion.
