Noirtier de Villefort
Quote 1
"Monsieur," Villefort replied, trying to struggle against these three wills and against his own feelings, "you are wrong. No crimes are committed in my house. Fate has struck. God is trying me, which is horrible to believe; but no one is being murdered!" (103.36)
In this case, the deed has already been done; Fate is nothing more than a label meant to console the victim.
