The House of His Father (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 25, Part 8)
Manage episode 516839876 series 3640498
Every step in Marseilles brings Edmond closer to grief and memory.
In The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 25, a simple act of generosity becomes a test of honesty when a sailor returns the double Napoleon Edmond had given him by mistake. Rewarding the man with even more, Dantès continues into the city, each familiar street reopening old wounds. At last, overwhelmed with emotion, he reaches the Allées de Meilhan — the house where his father had lived. Memory, loss, and sorrow converge at its door.
