There’s a whole story thing I’m doing on my tumblr @dashblitz.

Why Twilight is jealous?

@trapped-in-a-jar  
Good point. It’s just that the one image makes it difficult to tell if she’s using the book as a form of catharsis or the foundation of a plan.

Better to read fiction about violence and revenge as to realize its ultimate unsatisfactory end, than to carry it out in real life having no ability to contemplate it through fantasy.

@trapped-in-a-jar  
The fact that she’s contemplating a revenge that even comes close to the elaborate scheme of that book is frankly kind of terrifying. Satisfying though it might be, it says a lot about her mental state.

That book is, I think, far more relevant beyond the overall arch of escape and revenge. It is more about what injustice does to the just, and what society fails to do to protect the just. Probably not the authors actual intended meaning, but the more you read into the book the more it makes you think about the innumerable scenarios in American society where far, far worse may happen…and without any ability for justice by vengeance. Nor to even imprison those who even courts agree unjustly imprisoned you.
 
With this in mind, the sort of vengeance the Count carries off is enjoyable to imagine taking place in the modern era. In spite of how sadly impossible it would be.

As a “social experiment”, which she says for everything.

The Count of Monte Cristo? Is Twilight planning on getting imprisoned next to a Renaissance man any time soon?
