I believe Dumas to be a fan of Napoleon. The way that Lous XVII is portrayed is that he does not really do much for the country other then focusing that Napoleon is not brought back from exile. Dumas makes this very clear
With that in mind, Dumas is suprisingly objective. At one point, Dumas explains the situation that Louis XVIII faces with Napoleon's return: Louis XVIII has taken over a failing rule that must recover and someone who has the ability to destroy even a strong government is on his way. Dumas makes Louis XVIII seem almost helpless, like even if he did his best it wouldn't be enough to stop this freight train mounting an offensive
Dumas shows no love for Louis XVIII and throughout the novel shows his dislike. however, the language that Napoleon is describes as being is not very positive either. it seems like Dumas does not like either position and describes them accordingly.

ReplyDeleteIt does seem that Dumas is a little objective towards Loius the XVIII. He doesn't seem to glorify Louis XVIII at all.
