Beauchamp
Introduction
Beauchamp is a very good friend of Albert’s. It is he who
discovers the man, who brought disgraces on Albert’s father, the Count of
Morcerf. He being an editor of a daily newspaper in Paris, is able to discover
Albert’s father’s enemy. In fact the news of Morcerf’s disgrace is published in
his newspaper.
As A Sincere Man
Beauchamp’s greatest quality is his sincerity to his
friend. Albert greatly depended on him. That is why, he asks Beauchamp to
discover the anonymous writer’s name. We learn later in the play that Beauchamp
succeeds in discovering the name of the man who brings disgrace to Morcerf.
A Sensible Man
He is a very sensible man. Finding his friend, Albert,
very disturbed on account of his father’s disgrace he does not disclose his
father’s enemy’s name (Monte Cristo), at once. He mentally prepares Albert by
telling him that the name would surprise him, that he would not believe that it
could be his friend, Count of Monte Cristo.
A Cool Headed Man
Beauchamp is a cool headed man. He does not flare up or
lose his head like Albert who loses his cool, when he learns that, it is his
own dear friend, Monte Cristo, who is the cause of his family’s disgrace and dishonor.
So in a fit of rage, he challenges him to fight a duel. He thought that this
was the only way, he could wash away the blot on his honor.
As A Second Albert
Albert points Beauchamp as his second, in the duel to be
fought. Albert has so much faith and reliance on him, that he made Beauchamp to
make all the necessary arrangements for the duel. Tries To Dissuade Albert
Beauchamp tries to dissuade Albert from fighting the duel. In his surprise, he
says:
“MY DEAR ALBERT, YOU DO NOT MEAN TO CARRY MATTERS SO FAR.”
He stands by Albert, to the very last When the duel is averted, it is he, who breaks the news of his safety, to the Countess and Count of Morcerf. He is a real devoted friend – one on whom a fried could relay and depend.
