Edmonde and the creature

"I intended to reason." (the creature, pg. 105)

Oh, Edmonde and the creature! They're twins, I swear! When Edmonde finds the treasure of Sparta off the island of Monte Cristo, the one thing he wantes to do is buy revenge. When the creature gains knowledge and understands his power, the one thing he wants is revenge. I won't go into the details, but let me tell you, they both get it ;). Honestly, I really like the creature. I think he's the underdog, and even though he kills quite a few inocent people, he didn't know how else to respond to his dire need for affection and love. He's still like a child in regards to that, I believe.
