Question

How does Edmond's point of view in The Count of Monte Cristo and the sailor's point of view in "Sea Fever" reveal each text's theme?

Answer 1

Edmond's point of view in "The Count of Monte Cristo" underscores the theme of how futile revenge is. The point of view in "Sea Fever" underscores the theme that living in nature is more pleasurable than urban living.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• In "The Count of Monte Cristo" we can see that Edmond maintains the point of view that someone who has suffered a crime must take revenge to find peace.
• He maintains this thought throughout the narrative, but he cannot be satisfied with any result of his revenge, which reinforces the theme that revenge is something futile and meaningless.
• “Sea Fever,” we can see that the speaker holds the view that the call of nature is something inevitable.
• This speaker had an adventurous life when he lived amid nature, and the current life he has, in the city, is unsatisfactory because nature continues to call him.
• This underscores the theme that living in nature is more pleasurable than urban living.

The point of view, in these cases, refers to the opinion of the characters.
