"This was directed to me by my respect and my sorrow, Monsieur," Haydée replied. "God forgive me: though I am a Christian, I have always thought to avenge my illustrious father." (86.120)
Although it's hard to grasp, Christianity and revenge are able to exist side by side, at least as far as Monte Cristo and Haydée are concerned.
Haydée let fall her arms, groaning and looking at the count as though to ask if he was satisfied with her obedience. He got up, came across to her, took her hand and said to her in Romaic: "Rest, my dear child, and console yourself with the thought that there is a God to punish traitors." (77.252)
Monte Cristo portrays God as a justice, judging the actions of men directly.
Quote 3
"I could not understand. Why was my father fleeing—my father, the all-powerful, before whom others normally would flee, my father whose motto was: "They hate me, and that is why they fear me"? (77.176)
In her recounting, Haydée evokes the power hate can have – and the resistance which it can provoke.
