The story of The Count of Monte Cristo is about between the rich and the poor people can or cannot do when it comes to influence and power, and the revenge of Edmond Dantes, the main character.
               
Edmond Dantes is a good hearted and God fearing, and a sailor, he was about to be promoted and to marry the woman he loved dearly. His life is ruined because of others envy to him especially his best friend whom he treated as his brother Fernando Mondego, who betrayed him and later takes his fiancé Mercedes as his own wife. Edmond Dantes was the victim of an unfortunate coincidence, because of lack of Education, he doesn’t know how to read and write, and thus he wasn’t able to know what the letter is all about which was then a plan of rebellion by Bonaparte. It tells us how important education is to our lives. It is hard to be uneducated. We need to learn for us to grow and to develop ourselves.

The story is also full of hope and having a strong faith to God despite of the tragedy happened in his life. As the line “God will give me justice” which Edmond Dantes engraved in the wall on the jail. That hope keeps him alive, but time comes Edmond lost his trust in God because he waited for so long but there’s no God came to save him. He thought that God was never there in those times he needed his companion and was never a God of justice. He now believes that God don’t exist. Abbe faria a priest which is also a prisoner who became his teacher, who taught him to read, write to fight inn duel, to be string and brave and many more things that made him to be an educated man. This is how Edmond becomes the count, a man with a brilliant mind, intelligent with possessions that grant him a new life, and starts his revenge to those people who betrayed him and ruined his life.

The Story of Edmond Dantes is really happening in real life especially for the people who have no power or influence; the uneducated become slaves and even make them fool in order to be advantage. The story really makes my eyes open to what is really happening in a world of betweens (rich, poor, politics etc.) and had opened my mind.  And also have the will to survive in this world full of trials in life and have the strength to hold on and fight for our right for the right to have freedom, we do not need to kill  lives but to have justice in Gods will. God is everywhere, he might not come or make an instant action on the time you need him but just always trust him because he has the perfect plan on the perfect timing, Edmond Dantes lost his believe in God and believe there is no God but God send him a priest which is also a prisoner, who help him and taught him and told him God believes in you.

The story is also thought us that wrong things are not meant forever. Every bad things will always come back to us. So we must always do well, live in God’s love so that we have peace in this world and in our own conscience.
