In what ways does Valentine's situation mirror Dantes'?

  1. The situation mirrors the Dantes situation in the sense that they are both betrayed by people they thought to be their friends in Madame Villefort and obviously all of Dantes enemies. They both are saved in the end and go on to live happy lives.

  2. her situation is like edmonds because they are both about to marrry but do not end up doing so until maybe after the end. They are also both accused of doing something they didn't do. They also have enemies and different lives

  3. They both are very similar in their love lives. Dantes was going to marry Mercedes but then he was sent to jail. Valentine was going to marry someone else, but then married Maximilien. The results of their love lives were oppossite. Dantes did not get the woman he loved, and Valentine did.

  4. Valentine is being betrayed by someone close to her,just as Dantes was betrayed by people close to him. They both did not know why or by whom they were being betrayed by until it was too late.

  5. both are about to be married. however, obstacles form in both of their situations. dantes is arrested and valentines marriage is broken off after it is revealed the cavalcanti is really an escaped convict. eventually, valentine marries morrel whom she was in love with.

  6. They are both ready to be married yet they are presented with obstacles that they have to overcome. Dantes is arrested on false charges and Valentine is having conflicting emotions on who she wants to marry.

  7. It is the fact that Valentine and Dantes both feel helpless. Dantes is kept from love by a prison cell and Valentine is kept from love (with Maximilian) by an arranged marriage. They are also similar because they find a way to get out of these predicaments and achieve their happiness

  8. Valentine's situation mirrors Dante because they both were in love with a person they couldn't be with. However Valentine ended up witrh her love, Max, while Dante's love Mercedes moved on.
