Old Morrel
Old Morrel’s only son, Maximilien makes a career as a soldier, falls in love with Valentine de Villefort, and befriends the Count of Monte Cristo. Young Morrel is a man of great bravery and commitment: he vows, for example, to live with Valentine, even if it means giving up his career as a soldier and posing as a farmer, which he does on the semi-abandoned plot next to the Villefort’s home. When the Count fakes Valentine’s death so that Valentine might be saved from Mme de Villefort’s cruel poisonings, young Morrel believes that his life is no longer worth living. But the Count asks him to persevere, eventually revealing to young Morrel that Valentine has been safely hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. The Count later bequeaths his fortune to the young couple.
