The green pill he gave her caused her a temporary death. Like just shutting down the systems in her body for a period of time. The systems of the body started up again after a period of time, remember the Count saying to her that if she should wake up in a coffin to not be alarmed.
Monte Cristo gave Valentine a pill wich was a narcontic whose effects feign death. it is verry simmilar to what was given to Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. the drug slows the bodys functions to the bear minimums and it apears that death has occured.<br><br>
The green pill that is given to Valentine makes her have a death-like sleep. This is a referenc to Shakespear's tradgedy Romeo and Juliet! Yeah, i know...sounds corny but it's true. Also the entire thing between Maximilian and Valentine is a spin off of the Greek version of Romeo and Juliet...Pyramus and Thesbe.
Did you even really read the book? Of course he mentioned it. You probably didn't notice because you paid your little brother to read it for you. Also, remember the hollowed-out emrald that the Count shows off to some people? That contains the pills. He described them as the pills he used when he could not sleep.
How stupid are you?? The count gave her one of his "sleeping pills"... Good reply Adam!... I agree
Good grief, Adam and Anonymous! Relax, have a little perspective- and be nice!
One of the all time classics, I saw 2 movie version of the book, and I am little unsure that How did The Count bring Valentina alive? Or what did he do that made her dead temporarily? Dumas did not mention this part in the book, it's a mystery, wonderful ending though.
