You're right, that's a part of the tragedy of the story, and Edmond doesn't realize it until it's too late. Only thing I disagree on is that Fernand and Mercedes had a happy marriage; I definitely don't believe she was happy, other than having Albert. But I get what you mean, it was more or less functioning.

"Happy" might be stretching it, ... ... "comfortable" might be more accurate, or maybe "secure". I went and looked up Fernand to see if he was worthy of forgiveness since it's been a while since I read the book.

Nope, pretty much just a solid bastard. Did he assassinate Haydee's father as well?

I'm not sure he pulled the trigger or the guards away. Either way he was responsible
