Mr. Dumas: "He realized that he had gone beyond the limits of rightful vengeance and that he could no longer say 'God is for and with me.'"
Vengeance-the desire for revenge: a man full of vengeance.
This quote is stating how the Count had went past the limits of proper revenge and had given Mr. Dumas back the punishments that Mr. Dumas had given to the Count.
The Count: "Providence has punished him."
Providence: provident or prudent management of resources; prudence
Dumas had shown great use of resources and it had now back fired on his plan.
Mr. Dumas: "His mind was filled with a single thought: that of his happiness destroyed for no apparent reason."
Mr. Dumas: "It was time for him DAntes) to go back among men and take up the rank, influence, and power which great wealth gives in the world."
The Count: "And now, farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude. I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked."
The Count: "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
The Count: "I maintain my pride in the face of men, but I abandon it before God, who drew me out of nothingness to make me what I am."
Songs about betrayal but don't have a clear meaning will get the paragraphs up soon.
