What I remember most is the wonderful conversation that Dandys had when he first met Father Faria—perfect logical reasoning, simplified here. Valentine, a young 19-year-old girl in memory, became a woman here. In my impression, the fisherman soldier Fernan has become a swordsman with a title. The owner of Morel, who was 38 when he played, looks like 83 here. The three identities and makeup skills of the Count of Monte Cristo are gone, and the inheritance of Father Faria's own inventions, chemistry, language, etc. is gone. What turned out to be three quarters of revenge became one quarter of simplification. The ability of the earl, who is good at disguise, has deteriorated. Heidi, who has always been fascinated, doesn't seem to have appeared yet. Wonderful lines, Monte Cristo's consciousness is gone.

The Count of Monte Cristo quotes
-
Napoleon: Time you were on your way. Your captain has been dead for half an hour.
Edmond: Are you sure?
Napoleon: When you have walked as many battlefields as I, young Dantes, you can feel death.

J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: Well, I must say, Dantes, you don't have the look of a traitor.
Edmond Dantes: Traitor?
J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: Now, attend me well, Dantes, for your life may depend on it. Did you have any personal contact with Napoleon when you were on Elba?
Edmond Dantes: Elba. Yes, I did. Well, we did. I was with the Count Mondego's son, Fernand, almost the entire time. Do you know Fernand?
J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: He's a recent acquaintance, yes.
Edmond Dantes: Oh, there you are. He'll vouch for me.
J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: No doubt, but you said "almost the entire time."
Edmond Dantes: Except for when Napoleon asked me to deliver a personal letter to a friend in Marseilles.
J.F. Villefort, Chief Magistrate: Well, Dantes, it is for accepting that treasonous correspondence that you have been denounced by your own first mate, a monsieur Danglars.
Edmond Dantes: What?
