Three Musketeers Thursday: Chapter 10
Oct. 26th, 2017 04:34 pmLet The Three Musketeers commence! I am actually super enjoying it, partly because my expectations were set helpfully low by all the people who warned me it was awful and/or not as good as The Count of Monte Cristo, and also partly because it is just super well geared to my tastes. THE LOYALTY KINK OH MY GOD.
For instance, for instance. Athos' first appearance is the time that he walks into M. de Treville's office bleeding from a shoulder wound, pale from blood loss, and then keels over in a dead faint - but M. de Treville called him! And when a musketeer is called, he obeys!
And of course the musketeers are all ludicrously loyal to each other, which is also glorious, although it hasn't hit me where I live in quite the same way as Athos' fainting to prove his loyalty. Although I did love the way D'Artagnan befriends the three musketeers: he challenges each one to a duel, one after the other (without realizing they are bffs, of course) - only for the first duel to be interrupted by the Cardinal's spoilsport guards, on account of dueling is technically forbidden. D'Artagnan fights at the musketeers' side, and zing! They're all besties.
Still, I only just finished chapter 10, so there is time. One of them will surely get stabbed at least a little bit in defense of the others.
