The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 112 summary

Chapter 112 of 117 · Volume 5 · 20 min to read the chapter

In Chapter 112, the Count of Monte Cristo takes the grieving Maximilian from Paris to Marseilles, declares his mission complete, and visits Mercédès after Albert’s departure. Their conversation exposes the suffering attached to his vengeance, as she blames herself for past choices and he offers to secure her son’s happiness.

What happens

  1. Julie and Emmanuel discuss recent disasters before Monte Cristo arrives and takes Maximilian away, promising to restore his happiness.
  2. Ali reports Noirtier’s acceptance of a letter, and the count pauses outside Paris to declare his mission complete.
  3. During their rapid journey to Marseilles, Monte Cristo urges Maximilian to carry the dead within his heart rather than cling to graves.
  4. At the harbor, they recognize Albert aboard a departing ship, and Maximilian leaves to visit his father’s grave.
  5. Monte Cristo visits Mercédès, who rejects blame against him and condemns her own choices.
  6. The count promises help for Albert; Mercédès accepts possible assistance but finds hope chiefly in reunion beyond death.
