Edmond Dantes Personal Change In The Belly Of The Whale
|
|
|
The belly of the whale, a literary concept, is a period in a story in which a character is in “darkness” and is a time that sparks or influences personal growth. In The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas, Edmond Dantes is that character. The Chateau d’If is where Dantes spends this life altering time period. Dumas’ description of the prison, use of light, and input on Dante’s sense of sight symbolize these transformations within Edmond.
First, Dumas uses very detailed descriptions of the setting in which Edmond is entrapped. ... “Dantes followed his guide into a room…whose bare, oozing walls seemed to be impregnated with tears” (27). Dumas’ imagery of the “impregnated” walls shows the loneliness and gloominess of Dantes surroundings.
