Inside the story
Danglars is the ambitious, resentful purser aboard the Pharaon, where he serves alongside Edmond Dantès. Jealous of Dantès’s prospects and advancement, he helps set in motion the accusation that threatens the young sailor’s future.
A man of twenty-five or twenty-six with an unprepossessing, sly countenance, obsequious to superiors and insolent to inferiors; in later life a corpulent, self-satisfied financier dressed in ostentatious wealth.
