WP:  Monte Cristo Chapters 1-5

     France during the 1800’s was divided politically with two different partys fighting for control.  There were those that supported the king called royalists, and there were those that supported Napoleon called the bonapartists.  If Edmond Dantes was found to have a letter on him from Napoleon, he would be considered a traitor and put in prison.  That starts the entire conflict in “The Count of Monte Cristo.”
