When I read The Count of Monte Christo, I can't help but be drawn into the story by Dumas' descriptions of his characters - not only their initial appearances but their countenance and expressions throughout conversations.
One of my favorite descriptions of Dumas' that can be found throughout the book, beginning in Chapter One - is that of a 'dark cloud passing over someones brow'.
What are some of your favorite descriptions so far, and how have they helped you understand the emotions a character is having in the scene?
