"Count" on me to find a COMC comparison!

"I was a shattered wreck, the shadow of a human being." (Victor, pg. 135)

There's a scene in the Count of Monte Cristo where Edmonde realizes that even though he has attained freedom, he has lost all he cares for to others. He goes almost insane, but clings to his revenge. It's pretty much the greatest movie of all time. Anywho, he reminds me a lot of Victor and the creature. I'll discuss the creature's comparison in another post, but Edmonde and Victor have a lot of similarities. Both lose the loves of their lives. Both are driven hopeless by revenge. However, Victor dies unhappy while Edmonde leaves a wealthy, happy, married man with a VERY good looking son.
