Dumas in the history of the world asked God for help.

-I'll keep alexandre dumasfils's name-David Pelletielli, Dumas' grandfather, was originally a passionate and lecherous aristocrat on Santo Domingo. There were a large number of black slaves at home, and one of them, a female slave named Louie Dumas, gave birth to a hybrid, which was Thomas Alexander, Dumas' father. Thomas wanted to join Napoleon's army when he was an adult, but David Pelletielli didn't allow him to sign up for the army with his own surname. This arrogant old aristocrat thought it was humiliating for a mixed-race soldier to use his own aristocratic surname. Thomas had to join Napoleon's army under his mother's surname. Because of his brave combat, he was promoted from a soldier to a general in just seven years. After Napoleon began his dictatorship, Thomas was dismissed from the army because he was a fierce communist. Dumas was only three and a half years old when Thomas died of depression. Then, my grandfather went bankrupt, and Dumas' family was suddenly in trouble. After Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, Dumas was 13 years old. His mother wanted to revive his family business, so she asked him to make a choice, whether to adopt the ancient and dignified aristocratic surname of Pelletielli or to keep the surname of Dumas, a slave? The young Dumas knew very well the rank of these two surnames and which one had a great influence on his destiny, but he still firmly said to his mother, "I will keep alexandre dumasfils's name!" -Dumas, the new emperor on the Paris drama stage, was ready to travel to Paris when he was 2 years old, but he was penniless and could not make it. Occasionally, one night, he came to the hotel to bet on marbles. With his superb marbles skills, he won a pocket full of money, said goodbye to his mother that night, and ran to Paris ecstatically. After arriving in Paris, Dumas was lucky enough to meet his father's old friend, General Fua, who recommended him as a civil servant of the Duke of Orleans. After a stable life, Dumas took his mother to Paris. In order to have a better guarantee of life, Dumas often copied plays for the French theater in order to increase his income. Many exquisite scripts fascinated him deeply, and he often couldn't help but put down the copied scripts and start writing his own scripts. One day he came to the French Theatre and went straight into the dressing room of Tamar, a famous tragic actor at that time. He opened his mouth and said, "Sir, I want to be a playwright. Can you touch my forehead with your hand and bring me good luck?" Tamar smiled and put her hand on his forehead and said, "I hereby baptize you as a poet in the name of Shakespeare and Schiller!" " Dumas didn't care about the great actor's well-meaning joke at all. He put his hand on his chest and said solemnly, "I want to prove that I can do it in front of you and the whole world!" " However, Dumas spent three years writing a large number of plays, and none of them were accepted and staged by the theater. It was not until the evening of February 11, 1928 that the French Theatre sent him a note: "Mr. alexandre dumasfils, your play Henry III will be performed in our hospital tonight." Dumas dressed in a hurry, only to find that he didn't have a decent stiff collar. He quickly cut a stiff collar with stiff paper, put it around his neck and flew to the theater. But when he got to the theater, he couldn't get close to the stage, because even the aisle between the seats was full of spectators. It was not until after the curtain fell that Dumas appeared in front of the stage when the host invited the playwright to take the stage. Suddenly, a storm of cheers resounded through the theater. At that time, the newspaper described him like this: "His head was so high that his unkempt hair seemed to touch the stars." This half-breed with a stiff paper collar became famous at one fell swoop and became the new emperor on the stage of Paris drama overnight. Then, another play by Dumas, Anthony, was a great success. In just two years, Dumas became the most popular young playwright in Paris. Nevertheless, many aristocrats and some famous literary figures in Paris still despise his origin and ridicule his slave name. Even people like Balzac never miss the opportunity to laugh at him. In a literary salon, Balzac refused to clink glasses with Dumas and proudly said to him, "When my talent ran out, I went to write a script." Dumas flatly replied, "Then you can start now!" Balzac was very angry and further insulted Dumas: "Before I write the script, please tell me about your ancestors-this is a wonderful subject!" Dumas also replied angrily: "My father was a Creole, my grandfather was a black man, and my great-grandfather was a monkey;" My home originated in the place where your family moved. " -The generous and extravagant "Count of Monte Cristo"-The success of drama creation made Dumas famous, and he was able to join the romantic school headed by Hugo. History has also proved that Dumas' drama creation activities have made important contributions to the Romantic Movement. His Henry III, in particular, paved the way for romantic drama at the earliest, and made him one of the pioneers of romantic drama. However, what brought him great wealth was a series of historical legendary novels he created. Dumas' works are vast. According to his claim in his later years, he wrote 12 books all his life, but his researchers believe that most of them are the works of some "gunmen" in his writing factory. Even in his more than 8 novels, there are many painstaking efforts of Augst Marquis. Ma Kui is a scholar who is good at arranging plots and is proficient in history. After the ruthless elimination of time, most of Dumas' novels have long been forgotten or even extinct. At present, only the Count of Monte Cristo and three musketeers are widely circulated around the world. Especially The Count of Monte Cristo is more popular. Gorky, a proletarian writer, once praised it as a "refreshing book". However, compared with the works of some great writers, this novel has not been able to reflect the social reality more widely and profoundly, nor can it enter the ranks of the first-class masterpieces in 19th century literature. Therefore, in the history of French literature, Dumas' position can not compete with Balzac, Hugo and other literary masters. However, The Count of Monte Cristo is, after all, the masterpiece of popular novels all over the world, and Dumas has been praised as "the king of popular novels" by later generations. The huge remuneration brought to Dumas by this historical legendary popular novel is also unmatched by Balzac Hugo, which makes Dumas' life, which is generous and profligate, more luxurious. Once, a friend asked him to donate 5 francs to bury a landlord housekeeper who had just died. Dumas laughed and took out 1 francs and said, "Go and bury two landlord butlers!" " At that time, he had claimed to be the "Count of Monte Cristo" and had bought a large piece of land near the Seine River at the foot of Mount Saint-Germain, ready to build his dream mansion-Monte Cristo Castle. When the architect told him that the cost of the castle needed 2, francs, the "Earl" said boldly, "I wish there were more than that!" Monte Cristo Castle was completed on July 25th, 1847. The building is very in line with Dumas' gorgeous style, and the interior decoration also reflects his status as a writer: statues of Shakespeare, Goethe, Hugo and other great writers he likes are hung on the silver hooks of those curtains; One of his own bust statues was placed in the center of the hall, and a line was engraved on the base of the statue: I love those who love me. Since then, Dumas often feasted guests in the castle, drinking and having fun. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In a few years, Dumas squandered his property and had to auction the castle to others.
