Albert
Introduction
Albert is a young French nobleman. He is the son of the
Count and the Countess of Morcerf. A man of great character, to whom honor and
self-respect are of great value. He possesses a very pleasing personality and
is very enthusiastic about life.
Simple and Noble
Albert is very simple by nature. He is unable to discern
Monte Cristo’s intentions in becoming so thick with him. He has all the noble
qualities, which a nobleman values. To him, his honour and his family’s good
name are dearer to him, than life itself.
Sentimental Young Man
Albert is a very sentimental young man. When the Chamber
of Deputies condemns his father, the Count of Morcerf as a traitor, he is very
upset. He narrates to his mother, the Countess, the circumstances in which his
father is disgraced. He felt so ashamed that he wanted to give up his name and
to leave the country. He is so upset that he makes up his mind to take revenge
of his father’s enemy.
A Man Of Honor
Albert is a man of honor. When he discovers that his own
dear friend, Monte Cristo, is his father’s enemy, he challenges him, to a duel,
for the sake of his family honor.
Wise and Bold
Although Albert is a very emotional young man yet he is
wise and sensible t heed his mother’s counsel, to desist from fighting the
duel. When his own mother convinces him of his father’s guilt he not only
decides not to fight the duel, but also apologizes to him, for challenging him
to a duel. He is bold and does not feel ashamed, in asking Monte Cristo’s
forgiveness. He is brave and forth right and tells his father, about his guilt
and that he should face his enemy.
A Dutiful Son
Albert is a dutiful and an affectionate son. He loves his
mother and is very respectful to her. But his only blemish is that, he shows
disrespect to his father, when he learns that his father is the villain of the
piece. He refuses to embrace his father and accept his blessings. This is in
very bad taste. As a sensible and dutiful son, he should have stood by his
father. Apart from this, Albert impresses the readers with his strong sense of
justice and honour and love for his country.
