Los 3 Mosqueteros (Les Trois Mousquetaires)

The bonds between the musketeers feel timeless, but I wonder what motivated the author to emphasize these themes so strongly.

His boldness makes him exciting but sometimes reckless — was that balance intentional or a reflection of the era's ideals?

The story feels so rooted in its time, but I’m curious how much the author wanted to comment on the politics of the period.
