1st episode: Mercedes What You Doing?!
Description: In this episode I would discuss the decision
Mercedes made about marrying Fernand. Was it wrong or right? Would you have
waited a little longer or marry him sooner?
2nd episode: Dantes a Hero?
Description: In this episode I would discuss the beginning
of his journey to what’s happening recently in the book. We would talk about is
what he doing right? Should he just move on or stay in his friends lives?
Should he have his revenge or take the high road?
3rd episode: Let’s Fast-forward!
Description: I would
be discussing 18th century traditions mentioned in the book like
arranged marriages just for money, while we would compare 21st
century where love is a big role in a marriage and they are not usually
arranged.
4th episode:
Where was the Justice?!
Description: Where was Dantes justice in the book? What can
a man do when the law is against him and he has no proof? Certainly there
should have been some interrogation or investigation going on. Or what do you
do when the bad guys are behind the system manipulating the law.
5th episode:
I think the Joke is on Dante….
Description: In this
episode we break everything down about after all this unfair justice has
happened to Dantes. For the rest of the book it seems Dantes is full of hatred
and anger. Is making their lives miserable actually a good thing? It seems
spending all this time plotting, it’s actually robbing him of his happiness… to
me it seems like a lose-lose situation.
6th episode: I Volunteer as Tribute!
Description: In this episode there is a scene where Morrel
plans to take his life. So we would be discussing a serious issue not only in
the book, but with suicide today. Is suicide really the answer? Does it depend
on the circumstances?
7th episode: Is that a Symbol I see?
Description: In this episode I would like to discuss
symbolism. There is this part where Dantes escapes the prison and dives into
the ocean. Before he was this full of life, loving, and innocent man then he
comes out being a bitter person. Even though it’s not the same, it’s like
baptism. When you get baptized you are washing away the old person you were and
starting off as a new creation in God.
8th episode: Jealousy= The root of evil?
Description: They say some jealousy is healthy… In this
episode we will discuss, is it really that healthy considering how the Danglars
were pretty jealous of him and it lead to this huge scandal?
9th episode: Alexander Dumas
Description: In this episode we will talk about the book in
general. Why did Alexander Dumas make the book so long? Is that good or bad?
Isn’t better to get to the point before readers lose interest?
10th episode: What will happen?
Description: In this episode we will have readers thought on
what they think will happen? How will the book end? Will Dantes get his satisfaction
for ruining their lives? Will this all really be worth it? Do they ever find
out that Monte Cristo is Dantes?
