Belly Of the Whale
|
|
|
Like Jonah, Dantes experienced the belly of the whale but in a different sense. In The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas, the Chateau D’ If prison in France represents the belly of the whale. ... The symbolism of the belly of the whale corresponds to the changing of Dantes from being a naïve, innocent, trusting man of his arrival into a hatred, knowledged and vengeful soul. ... The three aspects of the setting of the belly of the whale symbolize Dantes change by his leaving the light and plunging into the darkness, the isolation of the island, and the confinement (closed in) in which he was held, never to leave. ...
The belly of the whale representation is associated with the Jonah and the whale story. It described him coming from the light into the darkness of the whale’s stomach, being isolated from human contact, and being confined with no place to go.
