Count of Monte Cristo Music
Hey guys,
First of I would like to say The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas is my favorite novel by far (got 3 copies/read multiple times). After reading the book and being a bit disappointed by the movie I picked up my guitar and made a song that was inspired during some parts of the novel. Since I see that you guys are enthusiasts of the novel as I am. I was hoping to get some input on what you think of the song. Any critique/advice/or comment is welcome. Thanks.

Help on Count of Montecristo
Perfect if you are in love with the novel as I am maybe you can help me out with this Question.
In the novel Dumas wrote the Edmond Dantes spent 14 years in prison.
But in the chapters refferring to the prison time he is very detailed in describing Edmond pains and period:
He enters jail in feb 1815
Then he meet the INSPECTOR after 17 month (chapter 14)
Then he is waiting the governor to check Villefort notes for 1 year
Then he spent 4 years passing from rage to the idea of committing suicide (chapter 15) and whes he's dying he heard Faria Priest.
After he meet him they spend 1 year in edmond education and 15 month digging the new tunnel.
then Faria got his stroke and thean after a short period he dies.
TO me the count is 10 years (more or less).
So I was wondering, am I missing something or Dumas just di not mention something in the novel and this seems really strange to me since he is so detail oriented along the whole novel?
Please help me
OK, Last post on this (I Promise)
Kiki,
i get your point and now it is really clear to me that 4/5 years passes between frist Faria stroke and his death. I agree
Just point out that Dantes Meet Faria after 6/7 years of prison so eventually 1821/22. Summurazing:
17 months after he enters jail he meets the governor,
Then 1 years waiting for a reply from the Governor on Villefort Note (and then the governor change)
4 years of desperation, anger and suicide tendencies (while he il loosing forces he heard faria diggin on the wall)
6 years and an half / 7
Thanks for the patience in replying me. You were really kind. :blush:
