General Discussion

Edited to add: Edmond Dantes, the character, wasn't too concerned with legal formalities as I recall. Of course Edmond causes quite a bit of collateral damage which we rightly abhor - and for that Dumas even has him doing a bit of soul searching, no? But being a man of action he still gets the job done. Dumas writes him as force of nature. Injustice has consequences. With all due respect, the fear of a left-wing authoritarian government (in the US) is absurd. The people causing the daily shit show are the same privileged degenerates that have always schemed in the shadows. But now they can let their hair down. No meaningful repercussions. No accountability. Same as it ever was.
