About M. Nortier

M. Nortier is the father of M. Villefort and he supported the Napoleonic strike against the king´s government. He is a character which I admire in this novel because he became paralytic in an accident and even when the only thing he can do with his body is move the eyes, he can clearly transmit his desires and his thought to the people that he knows and love.  He is given a treatment to restore his movement; however it is a poisonous substance that if drunk in a big quantity by someone who is not costumed to it will die very fast. His servant was the most loyal men he had in his life and the servant also loved Nortioer´s granddaughter. One day in which the servant had helped Morrel to enter Villefort´s house, the servant was out of breath and so the granddaughter told him to drink a lemonade which was at a table. The lemonade was poisonous and so he died and Nortier showed maximum respect and love for this person. At the end of the story, Nortier helps her granddaughter and M. Morrel to get married.
