“The Window” (The Count of Monte Cristo, Chapter 16 – Part 3)

Escape is a puzzle, and the fourth wall is the final piece. Dantès and his mysterious companion assess the last potential exit—the window. It’s narrow, barred, and cut into solid rock. But with the stranger’s feline agility and Dantès’ strength, they manage a daring inspection.

The view offers more than just a glimpse outside—it sharpens their sense of entrapment, and of what may still be possible.
