Count Of Monte Cristo, Not Guilty
In the book, The Count of Monte Cristo written by Alexandre Dumas has many minor and major characters. Major characters are more involved in the story while minor character are less involved in the story. The major character that I am going to be talking about is Noirtier. The minor character that I will be describing is Edouard de Villefort.

Through this, she herself had stated she invented parts of the story to fill in the spaces. “I did my best through other sources from the period and place to discover the world they would have seen and the reactions they might have had. What I offer you here is in part of my invention, but held tightly by the voices of the past.” She partially invents aspects of the story for lack of evidence.

Armand wanted to keep everything under wrap and under his complete control.
