Hrabia Monte Christo. Część 1

The pacing and multiple plot threads kept me engaged, but I'm curious whether the split was a practical choice or driven by storytelling needs.

The characters' backstories and betrayals added depth, but I wondered if this complexity was intentional to make the revenge morally ambiguous.

The detailed portrayal brought the era to life, and I'm interested in whether Dumas drew from personal research or creative imagination.
