Questioning and Critical Thinking

  1. 1       What do you think is the count of Monte Cristo’s ultimate goal? How does it tie in with his actions and his decisions we know of? Explain.

  2. 2        When Caderousse was robbing his jeweler, why do you think he killed his own wife alongside the jeweler? Should the wife had lived and only the jeweler was killed, how would things play out from there? Explain.

  3. .       Why was the Count acting so coldly towards Villefort? Do you think the count was trying to show off his knowledge?

  4. 4        Haydee has revealed to the Count that she has special feelings for him. Why do you think that the Count doesn’t push these feelings into a commitment? Give evidence or explain your thoughts.

  5. 5      What background do you think Bartolomeo and Andrea have? Why were they trying to fool the Count?
