M. de Villefort
The most feckless of the conspirators, Caderousse is a jealous and cowardly man. He does not have the courage to stand up to the other plotters when Danglars initially condemns Dantes, nor is he willing to stand up to La Carconte, his wife, when she proposes that they swindle and murder the jeweler to whom they’ve sold a precious diamond. Caderousse later spends time in a penal colony, where he meets Benedetto/Andrea, whom he attempts to extort once he has escaped to Paris. The Count, disgusted at Caderousse’s unwillingness to atone meaningfully for his mistakes, allows Bendetto to murder Caderousse after the two men attempt to rob the Count’s home on the Champs-Elysees.
