1. How would you describe Edmond's relationship with Faria? Justify your answer please.

Edmonds relationship with Faria is a good one. They have spent a lot of time together and have become very close. This is shown as Edmond grieves Faria strongly and even has suicide thoughts so they could be together again.

Edmond has a very unique relationship with Faira. As they only have each other they are the best of friends and Faira's knowledge and resources make him a kind of teacher to Edmonde.

I would describe Edmond's relationship with Faria as very close because Edmond Dantes is grieving about his death and he wants to be with him.

I would describes Edmond's relationship with Faria as a tight connection between the two because Edmond is very depressed and sad that Faria has passed away.

Edmond and Faria have a strong relationship because they are the only people who talk to each other

Friend and compainion - John

I would say that the 2 were extremely close. They had been the only friends and people they could talk to for a number of years. They had survived for so long in such hard living conditions. The Faria in the end was the one that kept Edmond Dantes alive, as Edmond wouldn't let himself die for himself and Faria. Edmond says that Faria was "the only human being who united him to earth"

Jamie:  Their relationship seemed to be very strong, causing much grief when Faria died.

He has a very close relationship as if he was his friend

2. Without using a dictionary, what do you think condemn means?

I think condemn means that someone has done something or said something that has influenced another person. Eg: The death penalty.

Is it like a to do something bad?
