the count of monte cristo pg20 - 37

Dantes goes and meets a girl named Mercede after he arrives back. He goes to see her and sees that she is with her cousin who loves her and wants to marry her. She gives him a hug and her cousin storms off because he is angry. Her cousin starts drinking with these two other men.The couple tells Fernand who is Mercedes cousin that are getting married the next day because Dantes has to fulfill his captains wish and deliver a letter. Fernand doesn't want to kill Dantes because his cousin said she would kill herself if he ever died. He wants to have him to prison instead. He and 2 other men decide to mail a letter to a prosecutor and get him imprisoned. They think he is arrogant and talk about how much they dont like him and think hes like his father.

Dantes seems like a good guy and Mercedes seems to love him a lot. Her cousin is jealous and wants to have her to himself. thats really weird that her cousin likes her like that. She has no feelings for him like that at all. He still respects her and doesnt plan to kill the man that she loves. He plans to get him put in jail though. Im not sure if he really thinks that Dantes is bad or if he is just jealous. Dantes is going to Paris to fill out his dead captains wish but he doesnt tell why or what he is doing. I dont think he is doing anything wrong. But then again how can a person be perfect? They have to have flaws maybe he is doing something against the law.
