The Count of Monte Cristo

Alexander Dumas`s The Count of Monte Cristo  is a very sourceful book with the main character,Edmund Dantes , creating different and new identities.  Even though these characters names are just being changed, or in Dantes' case, changing their names, this still means creating various identities. In every identity change, there is a different name or "alias" , and with every name comes a different identity. Dantes had to create a different personality to go with each new character to keep himself disguised. Just like anyone else who may be popular, people feel the need to change their identities for many different reasons, some more commonly used than others. People who change their identities may feel the need to change their identity because it lets a person be someone different, its unique, it defines who you really are or who you want to be, it allows you to hide or get away from yourself and others, and many other reasons.

Another case in which Dantes was hiding himself is when he was disguised as"a man in his early thirties"(93), the English Representative of Thompson and French (102) . He came to pay a "debt"(93) for Morrel.Dantes worked for Morrel on the ship"Pharaon"(5), and he came back as the English Representative to pay off his debt so that Morrel would not know who it really was.This shows Dantes`s want to do good for his" loyal friends"(78).

Being one of his other  characters,"Sinbad the Sailor"(334),it brings the reader into Dante`s almost "evil" side.It is also the persona Dantès adopts during his time in Italy. To those who don`t know him , he resides ...
