Explanation of how Edmond has changed throughout the story
Edmond changed ratically from the beginning of the story. Once naive, foolish, blind, and trusting now has become intelligent, strong, all seeing, and mistrusting of almost all who meets him. As time goes on after he escapes from jail, he becomes slightly less God-like in a sense. Edmond was seemingly invincible at the beginning of his battle for revenge but as time goes on, he becomes more human-like, though he doesn't completely seem like a human still. Edmond feels the pain of Equord's death.
