The Count of Monte Cristo is the perfect antidote to depressed and anxious individuals who, deep down revere and in fact celebrate their own psychological suffering, and find solace in the likes of Kafka and Woolf. It may not sit beside Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, or Proust, yet despite structured as a revenge thriller, it reaches into the conditions of human life with a scale and clarity which something many novels of the modernist era do not.
What is striking is that absolutely refused to romanticizes despair. Unlike the latter writers of the modernist era, whose entire life was shaped by the uncertainty of their place in the world due to the world war, Dumas does not narrow down the scope of the literature to speaking about the internal anxieties and depression. He does not treat his characters like those who has no part in the moral order.
Edmond Dante does not become interesting because he is anxious. He becomes powerful because he endures. His transformation is not an inward spiral but an outward construction. He studies, waits, prepares. Knowledge replaces despair, discipline replaces helplessness. Suffering is not an identity but a phase of becoming.
The book in short does not deny pain, but refuses to worship it. It suggests the human condition is not exhausted by insecurity and anxities. There remains the possibility of resurrection, of rebuilding oneself within a world that still possesses moral weight.

An important conversation in The Count of Monte Cristo. Dantès asks another prisoner (who accomplishes a lot in his confinement) what he might have become if he was was free. His answer is probably nothing, and for a good reason.
