ver, at the beginning Dantes only considers Haydee’s affection for him as love between father and daughter. Only after Haydee’s direct admitment could he realize Haydee’s love a little. You are wrong, my lord. The love I have for you is very different from the love I had for my father. My father died, but I did not die. If you were to die, I should die too. The Count, with a smile of profound tenderness, extended his hand, and she carried it to her lips.What’s more, Haydee also knows she should do in Dantes’ house, which could be a manifesto or beginning of her salvation to Dantes --- her lover! …No, my lord. In the morning, I shall rejoice in the prospect of your coming, and in the evening dwell with delight on the happiness I have enjoyed in your presence; then too, when alone, I can call forth mighty pictures of the past, see vast horizons bounded only by the towering mountains of Pindus and Olympus. Oh, believe me, which when three great passions, such as sorrow, love, and gratitude fill the heart, ennui can find no place. Still Dantes can not believe that God has not forgotten him since he has been forgotten by God in the prison for more than ten years.

Depend on my care to see that your youth is not blighted, or suffered to pass away in ungenial solitude; and of this be well assured, that if you love me as a father, I love you as a child.It doesn’t matter because Haydee has known what she should do and when she should do it.

So he makes a will to Haydee leaving all his money to her if he dies. Haydee smiles sorrowfully, and shakes her head. Do you think of dying, my lord? said she. The wise man, my child, has said, It is good to think of death. Well, if you die, said she, bequeath your fortune to others, for if you die I shall require nothing; And, taking the paper, she tore it in four pieces, and throws it into the middle of the room. Then, the effort having exhausted her strength, she falls not asleep this time, but faints on the floor. The count leans over her and raises her in his arms; and seeing that sweet pale face, those lovely eyes closed, that beautiful form motionless and to all appearance lifeless, the idea occurres to him for the first time, that perhaps she loves him otherwise than as a daughter loves a father. It is Haydee who lets Dantes reopen his heart to his feeling of love, which, in his eyes, will never come to his ideas when he knows Mercedes has married Mondego. As we know, if a person comes to realize his love, everything in his eyes will be more beautiful than before, especially for Dantes, since there is only revenge in his mind for such a long time.At last, Haydee succeeds, Love succeeds. When Dantes asks Haydee to go and gives her freedom, Haydee replies gently: I love the life you have made so sweet to me, and I should be sorry to die. You mean, then, that if I leave you, HaydeeI should die; yes, my lord. Do you then love me? Oh, Valentine, he asks if I love him. Valentine, tell him if you love Maximilian.
