After escaping and discovering the treasure, Dantès reinvents himself as the mysterious and wealthy Count of Monte Cristo. He meticulously plots revenge against those who wronged him—Ferdinand, Danglars, and Villefort—while rewarding those who remained loyal. However, as he executes his vengeance, he realizes that revenge has consequences, leading him to seek redemption and peace.
