SADDLEBACK CLASSICS

NOTES TO THE TEACHER THE NOVELS

Saddleback Classics were expressly designed to help students with limited reading ability gain access to some of the world’s greatest literature. While retaining the essence and stylistic “flavor” of the original, each Saddleback Classic has been expertly adapted to a reading level that never exceeds grade 4.0. A perfect introduction to later, more indepth investigations of the original works, Saddleback Classics utilize a number of strategies to ensure the involvement of reluctant readers: airy, uncomplicated page design, shortened sentences, easyreading type style, elimination of archaic words and spellings, shortened total book length, and handsome illustrations. THE STUDY GUIDES

The Saddleback Classics Study Guides provide a wealth of reproducible support materials to help students extend the learning experience. Features include critical background notes on both the author and the times, character descriptions, chapter summaries, and eight “universal” exercises—focusing on plot, theme, character, vocabulary, important literary terms, and book report structure. All may be used to follow up the reading of any Saddleback Classic novel. In addition to the universal exercises, 26 title-specific exercises are included to review, test, or enrich the student’s grasp of important vocabulary and concepts. These enjoyable worksheets, all reproducible, are designed to be used 4

chapter-by-chapter as the student’s reading of the novel proceeds. At least two exercises are provided for each book chapter. One of the two always focuses on key vocabulary. The other may be a simple comprehension check or present an important literary concept such as character analysis, point of view, inference, or figurative language. A twopage final exam is also included in every Saddleback Classics Study Guide. USING THE STUDY GUIDES

Before assigning any of the reproducible exercises, be sure your students each have a personal copy of the Glossary and the Facts About the Author and About the Times. Students will need to be familiar with many of the literary terms in order to complete the worksheets. The Facts About the Author and About the Times lend themselves to any number of writing, art, or research projects you may wish to assign. The title-specific exercises may be used as a springboard for class discussions or role-playing. Alternatively, you may wish to assign some exercises as homework and others as seatwork during the closing minutes of a class period. All exercises in this Guide are designed to accommodate independent study as well as group work. The occasional assignment of study partners or competitive teams often enhances interest and promotes creativity.

FACTS ABOUT THE AUTHOR

ALEXANDRE DUMAS (1802 –1870) The French novelist and dramatist Alexandre Dumas was born in 1802, the son of a general in Napoleon’s army. Although his plots have been criticized as “melodramatic” and his writing style as “careless,” readers still enjoy the colorful characters and exciting action in his stories. Because of his tremendous literary output—nearly 300 volumes—Dumas was somewhat of a legend in his own time. How was he able to produce such a great volume of work? He hired several

collaborators to search through the works of earlier memoir writers for exciting plots. He cheerfully called these writing assistants his “factory” and paid no attention at all to those who criticized him for pilfering the work of others. Today, Dumas’s best-known works are his historical romances: The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, and The Black Tulip. In France, Dumas is still noted for his plays, Henri III et sa cour and Napoléon Bonaparte.

FACTS ABOUT THE TIMES In 1802, when Alexandre Dumas was born . . . Thomas Jefferson was the president of the United States…the population of New York topped 60,000 for the first time… Napoleon became president of the Italian Republic. In 1844, when The Count of Monte Cristo was published . . . The YMCA was founded in England… wood-pulp paper was invented…

Elizabeth Barrett Browning published Poems…in Norway, people began to ski as a sport for the first time. In 1870, when Alexandre Dumas died . . . John D. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company…Confederate General Robert E. Lee and English novelist Charles Dickens died…Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea was published.

MONTE CRISTO

CHAPTER SUMMARIES CHAPTER 1

After the Pharaon’s captain dies at sea, the ship’s owner, Monsieur Morrel, appoints young Edmond Dantes to be captain. Danglars, the jealous ship’s purser who had hoped to be captain, is furious. Then Dantes has a joyous reunion with his fiancée, Mercedes Herrera, and meets Fernand Mondego, who is secretly in love with Mercedes. When the happy couple announce their upcoming wedding, the two jealous men join Caderousse, a greedy neighbor of Dantes, in a plot to falsely accuse Dantes of being Napoleon’s secret agent. CHAPTER 2

An anonymous letter of accusation causes the police to arrest Dantes at his betrothal feast. Monsieur Morrel, certain of Dantes’ innocence, tries to defend him. But Gerard de Villefort, the prosecutor, discovers that he would have to imprison his own father, the true secret agent, if he lets Dantes go. Dantes is imprisoned in the Chateau d’If. CHAPTER 3

Dantes spends many years in prison, completely cut off from the outside world. He has no idea that Napoleon and his followers regained power but then were defeated at Waterloo. Nor does he know that Fernand is courting Mercedes and his father has died. At last, he loses all hope of release. CHAPTER 4

A fellow prisoner, Father Faria, secretly digs a tunnel into Dantes’ cell. The old

priest befriends Dantes and educates him as they join in a plan of escape. In the meantime, Dantes tells the priest his story, and Father Faria tells him that Villefort, the son of the real secret agent, is responsible for his imprisonment. For the first time, Dantes realizes who must have sent the accusing letter. His heart is filled with bitter revenge. When Father Faria becomes too ill to carry out their plan, he kindly gives Dantes information about a great treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo. Then Father Faria dies, and Dantes takes his place in the burial bag. He is thrown into the sea by prison guards who think he is the old priest. CHAPTER 5

After swimming ashore, Dantes witnesses the wreck of a fishing boat. Pretending to be the lone surviving fisherman, he signals a passing ship and is taken on as a crewmember. He finds out that the captain and his crew are smugglers and bides his time until they visit the Isle of Monte Cristo. There, he feigns an injury and is left behind to find the hidden treasure. CHAPTER 6

Disguised as a priest, Dantes visits Caderousse, the first step in his plan of revenge. Pretending that Dantes is dead, Edmond gives Caderousse a diamond to be shared among Dantes’ friends. Caderousse admits the plot against Dantes, but minimizes his own involvement. He also says that Danglars 7

and Fernand are now wealthy—and that Fernand has married Mercedes. Further, he says that Dantes’ father is dead and that Monsieur Morrel, now in financial difficulties, had been kind to him before he died. Dantes returns to Marseilles and anonymously clears Morrel’s debts. CHAPTER 7

Now calling himself the Count of Monte Cristo, Dantes befriends Albert, Fernand and Mercedes’ son, and his friend during the carnival season in Rome. He invites the two wealthy young men to an execution, where they discuss the topic of revenge. Then Albert is kidnapped for ransom by Luigi Vampa, a bandit. Dantes rescues him and so ensures Albert’s friendship. CHAPTER 8

CHAPTER 9

Again unrecognized, Dantes meets with Danglars and arranges for a huge line of credit with Danglars’ bank. Then he meets with Benedetto, a young criminal who is Villefort’s illegitimate son. He promises the young man money and a new identity. Soon known as Andrea Cavalcanti, Benedetto is blackmailed by Caderousse, a former cellmate. In the meantime, Valentine’s dear grandmother is mysteriously poisoned, and Noirtier breaks up Valentine’s engagement to Franz. Then, an old servant is poisoned by a drink intended for Noirtier. The doctor suspects that the murderer is Valentine—who will gain a fortune by these deaths. CHAPTER 10

In Paris, Dantes visits Albert and is not recognized by his old enemy Fernand, Albert’s father. Mercedes does recognize him, but she says nothing. At Dantes’ new home in Paris, we meet Haydee, a young Greek woman Dantes rescued from slavery and adopted as an orphan. She is clearly in love with Dantes, although he doesn’t see it. Dantes then cleverly arranges to meet Villefort’s wife, Heloise, whom he supplies with a liquid poison the old priest had given him.

Caderousse demands more blackmail money, then plans to burgle the house of the Count of Monte Cristo. Warned by Benedetto, Dantes catches Caderousse and forces him to admit his collusion with Benedetto in a note to Danglars. Then Benedetto meets Caderousse outside and stabs him. As Caderousse is dying, Dante reveals his true identity to him.

Next, he meets, but is not recognized by, his archenemy Villefort. Finally, we see Valentine, Villefort’s daughter, telling Maximilian Morrel that she would always love him even though she is being forced to marry Franz d’Epinay in three months’ time. She reveals that Heloise doesn’t want her to marry anyone, since Valentine— instead of Heloise’s son—will inherit the family fortune when she marries.

Dantes sends an anonymous letter to a newspaper, accusing Fernand of betraying Ali Pasha. Haydee affirms this in court. To avenge his disgraced father’s name, Albert challenges Dantes to a duel. Mercedes intercedes, and Dantes, dressed as a sailor, tells Fernand who he really is. When Mercedes and Albert forsake him, Fernand shoots himself. Then Dantes secretly arranges

CHAPTER 11

Benedetto’s arrest, and he withdraws huge amounts of money from Danglars’ bank, nearly ruining him. Danglars flees the country with the money he has left. In the meantime, Valentine sees her stepmother trying to poison her, but is protected by a pill Dantes has given her. Everyone thinks she is dead. Villefort accuses Heloise of murder, and Benedetto testifies in court that he is Villefort’s son. When the disgraced Villefort finds that his wife and son have killed themselves, Dantes reveals his true identity, driving Villefort mad. At last, Dantes’ revenge is complete.

CHAPTER 12

Uneasy about the cruel extent of his revenge, Dantes leaves Paris with Maximilian, who is grieving Valentine’s death. He then discovers that Danglars has been imprisoned by Luigi Vampa and visits him in his cell. Danglars’ hair turns white when Dantes reveals his true identity. Finally, he meets Maximilian on the Isle of Monte Cristo and reunites him with Valentine. Then, Haydee declares her love for Dantes, and he gratefully decides that God has forgiven him. Finally, he and Haydee then sail away, after giving his house in Paris to Maximilian and Valentine as a wedding present.
