Why is Dumas such an asshole? Holy shit.The story was so good up until the last 15 or so chapters. Like Aramis, I'm disgusted by what took place, and I don't even really want to read the sequels.
I really really really want to like this book, because it's exciting with lovable characters. I loved the Count of Monte Cristo, but the ending to this takes such a hard left. Help me understand, what am I missing? The John Felton thing I get. Had I been more informed on history, I probably would have liked that sequence a little better, because it was clever. But the sequence after that went too far. Why did Dumas end his story like that?

I'm sorry that a woman being a bad person and then getting her comeuppance triggers you OP.

I read that today too. It's probably the faggot that wrote it that put it up there. It's so beyond stupid.

What triggers me is that she is evil incarnate with the most horrible and selfish intentions, and she succeeds in her evil plots. She's Claude Frollo in a novel that up until the point where she takes center stage, is jovial and fun and full of hope. And at the end, she's given a dignified death, and Dumas even makes the characters pity her as she's sentenced to die.
It's silly. If it was a dark story from the beginning, like Notre Dame, then I could easily digest the way the story turned. But it was a happy fun tale, that turned extremely dark. A character that evil should not be allowed to succeed.
On a related note, why do french kings all look like girls when they were kids?

to be fair, ballsack write a novel about a similar tranny who also supposedly was a lover of some cardinal

he also wrote a less realistic story (and without any cardinals this time)

because kids haven't really developed the things that makes their sex stand out
