Question

Edmond Dantes is engaged to:

1) Madame Danglars
2) Esmeralda
3) Mercedes
4) Madame Caderousse

Answer 1

Edmond Dantes is engaged to Mercedes in Alexandre Dumas's novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, which is a pivotal detail that influences the events leading to his imprisonment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edmond Dantes, the protagonist of Alexandre Dumas's novel The Count of Monte Cristo, is engaged to Mercedes at the beginning of the story. This engagement is central to the plot, as the jealousy and machinations of others concerning this engagement lead to Dantes's unjust imprisonment. None of the other characters mentioned—Madame Danglars, Esmeralda, or Madame Caderousse—are Dantes's fiancée in the narrative.
