The whole reason people want to read sequels is that they care about the characters and want to know what happens to them. I could go on to the absurdity of the next woman he takes up with, but will stop. The next thing you know, he’s in Paris, he sees Mercedes, falls into her arms, and invites her to join his harem. On their wedding night, Haydee asks him if he still has feelings for Mercedes, the woman who betrayed him long ago. One would think he’d be sensitive to others’ feeling betrayed. Here’s the man whose life was savagely destroyed by betrayal.
I see why the author did this, so that the Count (now Sultan) can have a harem. (You can read all about it in Chapter 86). To start with, Haydee is a Christian in the original. The book was billed as the sequel to the Count of Monte Cristo, and remained true to the original characters.
