Don’t Cry Over The Spilt Milk

——After reading

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO is a very fantastic novel,which is one of the greatest novels written by the French writer Alexander Dumas. In the mid-nineteenth century, the novel was the "best-selling book" on the charts, and Alexander Dumas himself was a "best-selling author" in France at that time. Such novel is a work portrays a man called Edmon Dantes who went through many ups and downs. And this novel works me realized that it’s no use crying over the spilt milk.

The novel describes a story of revenge. Nineteen-year-old Edmon Dantes, is a vibrant young sailor. He has a loving father, a sweet lover, a bright future and a happy life. So he was so optimistic that he treat everyone around him in courtesy and sincere. But the happy life always be jealous, at his wedding ceremony, he was framed and put into jail. He suffered a spiritual and physical double torture in the gloomy dungeon of the dark Chateau d'Eiffel. At the same time, He lost everything. Some people killed the father of Dantes and took his lover, and his family broke. In his most desperate time, he want to commit suicide until the Faria priest walked into his life. The priest imparted all his knowledge to him, told him the location of the Cristo Island treasure, and helped him escape from the prison. Fourteen years of prison life, Dantes,a silly green youth turned into a millionaire of the count. He began to repay and revenge.

There is no doubt that Dantes was unfortunate, because he lost his father, his lover and his prospective career. Besides, he was framed and cheated by other evildoers and he has been in prison for 14 years innocently. But to some extent, he was fortunate. He did not lost his mind and his spirit. He still waiting for a better tomorrow. What’s more, he meet a significant friend, he was taught a great amount of knowledge he has never known before and he was told a secret about a treasure which benefited him a lot in his later life. And finally, he successfully repaid his benefactors and took his vengeance.

After seeing this novel,I really admire Dantes’ character. When he helped the Morrels get out of trouble, when he rescued one of his daughters from a cursed family, when he promised that Mercier Tess would not kill the son of the enemy. In the face of revenge with the enemy, Dantes was not hatred dazzled. His conscience was never devoided and his personality was not distorted. He always retains a noble and kind heart. His kindness and straightforwardness never diminished although he has been suffered from misfortune. On the contrary, he raised a brand-new tough personality.

Besides, there are some Dantes’words that strike a chord with me. For example,“all human wisdom is contained in these two words ,——Wait and Hope”.which shows that he understood the significance of letting yesterday’s sufferings go and being hopeful about the future. "Wait and hope", this is the wisdom Monte Cristo left us. I remember there is a flower called "Pu Ya", she spent a hundred years to wait and accumulation. One hundred years to open a flower, and whispering time is the end of flower’s life. What a magnificent life, but she never regret it. Because it is enough for her to get a life bloom. Whether it is a year, a decade, or a hundred years, we all need to wait for the the moment of bloom with hope. The days of waiting, we have to do only one thing, the accumulation of adequate nutrients, and fully absorb the nutrition, accept the suffering to raise a great wisdom. Only in this way, when the opportunity coming, we can firmly grasp it and achieve our dream. As the Count of Monte Cristo when he waited for 14 years in prison, he learned to impart his knowledge to enrich himself, and finally succeeded in breaking out and fulfilling his dream. He was not immersed in the loss of pain, but looked forward to the bright future full of hope. He did not cry over the spilt milk, but he clearly knew cherish what he have and did what he have to do.

The Count of Monte Cristo is a perfect image, but he is not fabricated. He contains some of the author's portrayal. In the chapel of Monte Cristo, there stood a magnificent bust of Dumas, accompanied by a motto, "I love the one who loves me." Thus the Count of Monte Cristo's courageous was the inheritance of the Dumas. In fact, this motto, Alexander Dumas speak only a few words, Monte Cristo, this figure reflects the integrity of the whole meaning. That is "I love the one who loves me, I hate the one who hates me." How others treat me, how I treat him. which is fair, but also in line with the emotional balance. Furthermore, after enjoying this masterpiece, I still like the count in prison and the priest Faria together learned and dug the tunnel scene, that is a kind of optimism and hope for the future.

The count of Mont Cristo had gone through so many things, and at last had seen through the world. As he had said to Morrel: "There is neither happiness nor misfortune in this world, but a comparison of one situation and another. Only think of the pain of death, can you understand the joy of life. " Merely after suffering ups and downs, could he get an open-minded spirit and come to his own life insights. That means Edmon Dantes did not stay in the past despair, but fearlessly move forward. I was deeply aware of that what is done cannot be undone,thus we’d better cherish what we have now.
