Comparison of 2 novels "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas and “ Gone with the wind “ by Margarette Mitchel Presented by Lola Uzakova 1) Profile The main character of the novel of Alexandre Dumas père's 1844 adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo Dantès is an intelligent, honest, and loving man who turns bitter and vengeful after he is framed for a crime he does not commit. When Dantès finds himself free and enormously wealthy, he takes it upon himself to act as the agent of Providence, rewarding those who have helped him in his plight and punishing those responsible for his years of agony. On the contrary to Monte Cristo Dantès Scarlett is a very unchanging character. She's arrogant, spoiled, manipulative, egocentric and loves to be the center of attention – but she's also very ardent, purposeful, intelligent in certain areas, and goes to great lengths to take care of her family.
framed for a crime he did not commit. Before his imprisonment, Edmond Dantès is a kind, innocent and honest man. Though naturally intelligent, he is a man of few opinions, living his life instinctively by a traditional code of ethics that impels him to honor his superiors, care dutifully for his aging father, and treat his fellow man generously. Dantès is filled with positive feeling, admiring his boss, Monsieur Morrel; loving his father; adoring his fiancée, Mercédès; and even attempting to think kindly of men who clearly dislike him. Meanwhile, the protagonist of Gone with the Wind, Scarlett is a dark-haired, green-eyed Georgia belle who struggles through the hardships of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Scarlett exhibits more of her father’s hard-headedness than her mother’s refined Southern manners. Although initially she tries to behave prettily, her instincts rise up against social restrictions. Determination defines Scarlett and drives her to achieve everything she desires by any means necessary. This determination first manifests itself in her narcissistic and sometimes backstabbing efforts to excite the admiration of every young man in the neighborhood. Later, under threat of starvation and even death, she is determined to survive and does so by picking cotton, running her entire plantation, forging a successful business, and even killing a man. Scarlett also aims to win Ashley Wilkes, and her failure to do so guides the plot of the novel. Ashley’s marriage to Melanie Hamilton and rejection of Scarlett drive nearly all of Scarlett’s important subsequent decisions. Scarlett marries Charles Hamilton to hurt Ashley, stays by Melanie’s side through the war because she promises Ashley she will, and loses her true love, Rhett Butler, because of her persistent desire to win Ashley. While in prison, however, Dantès undergoes a great change. He becomes bitter and vengeful as he obsesses over the wrongs committed against him. When his companion, Abbé Faria, dies, so too does Dantès’s only remaining deep connection to another human being. Dantès loses the capacity to feel any emotion other than hatred for those who have harmed him and gratitude toward those who have tried to help him. He moves through the world like an outsider, disconnected from any human community and interested only in carrying out his mission as the agent of Providence. It is not until Dantès finds love again, in a relationship with Haydée, that he is able to reconnect to his own humanity and begin to live humanly again. Compared to Scarlett Dantes tells “And now . . . farewell kindness, humanity, and gratitude! Farewell to all the feelings which expand the heart! I have been Heaven’s substitute to recompense the good— now the God of Vengeance yields to me his power to punish the wicked!” While Scarlett O'Hara says : I'll think about that tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day. Scarlett O'Hara: As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again! Rhett Butler: This is one night you're not turning me out. These words are best characteristics of Scarlett as a person. After his escape from prison, Dantès greatly enjoys helping out the Morrel family. But with that work finished, Dantès, almost reluctantly, turns to his work of vengeance. Although he has vowed to do the work, he does not actually expect to enjoy hurting others and dealing with unpleasant people. He knows his quest for vengeance might bring moral injury on himself. Nevertheless, he believes that he has been given the task by God: God both freed him and gave him an immense fortune with which to do the work. Thus Dantès believes he has both a duty and the power to fulfill his vow. However, Scarlett has no desire to take revenge from her enemies the only two things she desires are Rhett Butler and money.
