Me every time Dantès opens his mouth abt Haydée once Mercédès leaves:
Monte Cristo......... I will smack the shit out of u
What. The Count of Monte Cristo is so good :0
#SHE'S 19#U ARE 42#do not even get me started on the Valentine-Maximilian age/experience gap#but HAYDÉE#she's yr SLAVE#0 life experience. 0 independence.#100 audacity though I have to give her that#marching into a court session full of men alone in a veil to dramatically reveal yr past & condemn the man who ruined yr life >>>>>#she IS the moment#but then like she does that. & then goes right back to ~oh count I love u count not as a father but as a man 🥰 I never leave the house 🥰~#yeuch. anyway#I wish I knew what Dumas was thinking when he wrote her#it would've been way better to have her & Dantès simply be In Vengeful Cahoots since they have a common goal & temperament#but nooo we had to get the weird daughter/slave/ward/concubine/potential wife oscillation#is she there for 19yo girls w mysterious billionaire fantasies to project onto. would I feel differently abt her if I'd read this at 19. hm#no I don't think so#this smacks of Jane/Rochester but at least there is a difference between employee & SLAVE#also Jane just. does not give a fuck. she has the temperament to march out whenever she wishes to AND SHE DOES#she goes out & becomes a teacher. builds a community. meets new people#THEN when she is a more developed person she goes back & they manage to work something out#Haydée is the epitome of ~in my getting the news via my boyfriend era 🥰 I don't read any my bf will tell me if I need to know it 🥰~#does not speak the local language. never goes outside. wholly dependent on Dantès for food lodging wardrobe &c.#& I'm not blaming her for any of that (her backstory is Pretty Traumatic for one)#I AM blaming DUMAS 😠#The Count of Monte Cristo
