1. Dantes was the all around perfect, nice guy who was always kind to everyone. Then when three people who he thought was his friends got him thrown into jail, he changed compleltey. Those so called friends made it seem like Dantes was a follower of Napoleon Bonaparte, which is not true. The nice kind guy was no more. He was now a revenge seeking man who felt like he shouldn't care about anybody anymore. Later on in the story the men who got him sent to jail actually depend on Dantes without even knowing it was him.
2. Dramatic Irony- We, the audience, know that it is Dantes who is in the sack not the dead old man but the guards didn't know it was Dantes. They kept on saying how heavy the old man was and that he shouldn't be that heavy, yet they never looked at what was in the bag. This is an example of dramatic irony because we, the audience, know what is trully in the bag but the characters in the book don't.
