Why we (re)read it today

Dumas’s novel is not merely a tale of revenge.
It is a reflection on the construction of identity as a strategic project.
Edmond Dantès does not return: he reinvents himself.
The text operates on three levels:
– individual transformation
– economic power
– narrative manipulation
Revenge is not an impulse, but an architecture.
