![]() ![]() ![]() Like The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers delivers a wonderfully swashbuckling adventure with a bit of a melancholic aftertaste (in the best of ways). As the four men seek to protect and serve the King, the Cardinal and especially Milady de Winter seek to stop them at every turn. But D’Artagnan seems to have a knack for starting off every relationship on the wrong foot with Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, three of the King’s Musketeers, things are quickly resolved and they become the best of friends, but with Rochefort and Milady de Winter, two of Cardinal Richelieu’s agents, things take a turn for the worse. The Three Musketeers opens in 1625, when young Gascon D’Artagnan sets out from the southwest of France towards Paris, hoping to make a name for himself as one of the King’s Musketeers. I resolved to correct that oversight, and it was the first book I picked up as the semester started. ![]() (Music is great, though.) But at one point, my brother asked me if a scene was faithful to the book, which I have never read. ![]() This summer, I actually watched the film, which was so thin and hilarious that I was surprised it got a theatrical release. When I was little, my favorite song was “All For Love”, the theme song from Disney’s 1993 adaptation of The Three Musketeers. ![]()
