Question

In "The Count of Monte Cristo," how does the noise in the wall affect Edmond Dantes? *It causes him to summon the jailer.

It gives him a sense of hope.
It frightens him into behaving foolishly.
It proves that he will escape.

Answer 1

The right answer is option two.

In Alexander Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo," the noise in the wall gives Edmond a sense of hope. When he starts hearing the noise, he is starving himself, so he believes it is an illusion. After realizing that the noise is product of another human being, it gives him a feeling of hope and starts eating again.
