Alexandre Dumas has always had a reputation for writing swashbuckling and fast-paced adventure tales that blend together fact and fiction. He wrote many historical fiction novels where would severely stretch the truth to achieve a great novel‚ but never claimed that the novels tell the same story as history.

The three people that Dantes swears vengance against are the Count de Morcerf
