Dantes, as the Abbe Busoni, uses Caderousse’s greed to get information. This is accomplished by using the diamond from the supposed will, giving it to Dantes’ friends only. Dantes then exposes the affair of Villefort and Madame Danglars by using Andrea, Benedetto. He also gets Villefort’s family killed by giving Madame Villefort the poison in the first place. He destroyed Danglars fortune by his wife and he also imprisons him by using Luigi Vampa and the Italian bandits until he gets back the charity money for the hospital. He reveals the murder of Ali Pasha by Count Morecef by using Haydee, because she is the daughter of Ali Pasha. She also says that he sells her and her mother and describes the scar on his hand. Caderousse is destroyed by his greed when he tries to rob the Count and ends up getting killed by Benedetto. So in the end Danglars is destitute and his wife and daughter leave, Villefort's family is dead (except for Valentine) and he goes insane, and Fernand's reputation is ruined and his wife and son leave him so he commits suicide. 7. The Count of the Monte Cristo gives a diamond to Caderousse only because he wants the information about what happened during his stay in prison. He saves Peppino from execution only to make sure that Albert is taken by the bandits thus granting him an invitation to the Morecef’s home in Paris. He also helps the criminal Benedetto by giving him a fake father and by giving him a generous amount of money. He destroys Villefort’s and Madame Danglars' reputation by using him. 8. Poetic justice takes place where the whole Morrel family is saved. Morrel is saved from bankruptcy and death, Julie gets to get married to Emmanuel, and The Count of Monte Cristo saves Maximilien from killing himself and reunites him with the supposedly dead Valentine. Villefort’s entire family dies, his reputation is ruined by Benedetto, and he loses his sanity. Danglars loses all his money (because of the bandits), his wife and daughter, and he also had to suffer being in a prison for unknown reasons just as Edmond had. Fernand’s reputation is ruined by the Count’s meddling in his past with Ali Pasha, Albert and Mercedes leave him, and after finding out who the Count truly is, he commits suicide. Caderousse is murdered by his “partner in crime” Benedetto. Artistic creations do influence events because it is part of the media which sways the public’s opinions, for good and bad, which can lead to different events. Events can inspire creativity as well. For example Goya’s __The Third of May 1808__ is a painting of an execution of rebels by Napoleon’s army. Dumas was inspired by the French Revolution because his father was a general in the army under Napoleon. This is probably why the Bonapartist characters (like Nortier, Leclere, Faria) are portrayed as noble and right in their actions throughout the novel. The French Revolution also drives the plot like when Dantes is imprisoned and Nortier reveals that he killed Franz's dad so that Valentine won't have to marry him.
