If you were in prison with someone like Dantes for years, how exactly would you teach them? What subjects, and how exactly, given that you have no books in the cell and no paper or pen?
What would your syllabus be and your method?
Word of mouth.
shareAbbe Faria was Count Spada's secretary for 20 years and commanded a 5000 book library. He found that by memorizing 150 key books he learned most of the important things. In 14 years he taught Dantes 5 languages, philosophy, math, etc. and made a 19 year old seaman a very learned man. I wrote a 26 song musical stage version which is much more realistic than the book, which has Dantes get his revenge 20 years after escaping and finding the treasure. In my version. Jocapo helps him find the treasure, Dantes goes to Paris to Bank, goes to Persia to find Haydee, takes her to Marseilles as witness against Mondego. Wrong info from the Count to Baron Danglars ruins the 3 culprits financially; Villefort blames and murders Danglars, then shoots himself when he is revealed as having buried his baby son alive, then Mondego is exposed as a traitor and faces the guillotine. ALL IN 2 months, NOT 20 years. In final scene he finally marries Mercedes. Her marriage to Mondego is annulled.
