Question: What is Edmond Dantes’ major flaw?
Dantes is naïve and overly quick to trust others – he assumes that his colleagues, neighbors, and acquaintances will behave as honorably toward him as he does towards them. He believes this even as he witnesses Danglars’ hate, Caderousse’s greed, and Fernand’s jealousy. As a result, he falls easily into his enemies’ trap.
