I love how in almost every adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo" the Abbe's last words are something like "Remember, do not let vengance consume you. Promise me you won't seek revenge. Justice is served by God" or smth like this, while in the book, the literal source material, he just goes "Find the treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. Get the money" and then dies.

This book is so unhinged, I can't even. It's pure chaos. Don't let anyone ever convince you that it's sophisticated classic literature. Dumas loved drama, schemes, adventures and dumb ironic humor.

oberon spouts venom at the hundreds of Servants that see fujimaru ritsuka as a hero, savior, proxy of their beloveds, and more particularly, a star. and i seriously like that part especially because he ALSO views ritsuka as a star, but he KNOWS that that little star who had struggled so much yearns for a blue sky they may never reach. because stars can only shine in the blackest of night, in the most despairing of situations...these idiotic heroic spirits are constantly dazzled, almost hypnotized in the light a lone star makes only in the midst of battle and bloodshed. the shadow that has followed that star is no different. and i like that it makes him sick to his stomach, he'd seethe at such a thing, telling dantes he was actually no different. but see, oberon is also dazzled. the color blue is ingrained into his eyes and being, that no matter how many times he closes his eyes, the sickness in his stomach is a different kind of sickness that bubbles up in his throat. but, see. he is a fellow actor in a play with circumstances that parallel guda's own. liars who know how to read each other under and in between the lines. guda may have needed that push forward from the start of part 1, but they cant keep going forever. because it all has to end. and towards that end, oberon can be found, where he could lead guda to what they have been wanting all along. that "game complete" to where it leads to that star's "happy ending"

The Count of Monte Cristo (the book) has such a funny version of the dracula problem. In the first third of the book we, the readers, get a very detailed picture of how Edmond Dantes gets his whole life ruined, becomes the Count of Monte Cristo, and concocts the most convoluted revenge plot in literature. But after that, the book switches over to the perspective of characters that did not read the first third of the book and broadly misapprehend the Count's deal and what kind of book they're in. There's even a character that straight up thinks the Count is a vampire.

The most intriguing thing about The Count of Monte Cristo is that - everytime a new character appears - you look for tiny hints that this is in fact not a new character but just Dantes with a wig
