Alexandre Dumas began writing at an early age and saw his first success in a play he wrote entitled Henri III et sa Cour (1829). A prolific author who also had to battle racism throughout his life, Dumas was politically active, taking part in the Revolution of 1830 and later working for the cause of Italian unification. Among his most famous historical novels, which he often wrote with collaborators (primarily Auguste Maquet) and which were typically serialized in the press, are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1844-45), and The Man in the Iron Mask (1848-50). Dumas made and lost several fortunes, and died penniless on December 5, 1870.

The principal entrance of this house was in the Place Baudoyer. The house was tolerably large, surrounded by gardens, enclosed in the Rue St. Jean by the shops of tool−makers, which protected it from prying looks; and was walled in by a triple rampart of stone, noise, and verdure, like an embalmed mummy in its triple coffin. The man to whom we have just alluded walked along with a firm step, although he was no longer in his early prime. His dark cloak and long sword outlined beneath the cloak plainly revealed a man seeking adventures; and judging from his curling mustaches, his fine and smooth skin, as seen under his sombrero, the gallantry of his adventures was unquestionable. In fact, hardly had the cavalier entered the house, when the clock of St. Gervais struck eight; and ten minutes afterwards a lady, followed by an armed servant, approached and knocked at the same door, which an old woman immediately opened for her. The lady raised her veil as she entered; though no longer a beauty, she was still a woman; she was no longer young, yet she was sprightly and of an imposing carriage.

    GREED FOR POWER OF LOUISE XIV IN RANDALL WALLACE’S MAN IN THE IRON MASK MOVIE: AN INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH Submitted as a Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for getting Bachelor Degree in English Department TITIS HAERLIANA A 320 050 083 FACULTY OF TEACHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2009 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Novel is one of literary work which has contributed in making good film. Many directors try to realize novels into movie version. They want to make a film based on reader imagination and to illustrate it in visual image. There are many novels which are adapted to movie versions, such as, Cinderella, Great Expectation, Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, the three musketeers, Pinocchio, Gone with the Wind, Memoirs of Geisha, include Man in the Iron Mask. By using a novel as the main material source, the film maker hopes the viewer has a big curious feeling to the film which is adopted from their favorite novel. Man in the Iron Mask for example, it is presented to the movie version by Randall Wallace as the director and uses Alexandre Dumas Père’s novel with the same title. Before Man in the Iron Mask, Alexandre Dumas Père has been written “The Three Musketeers” in 19 century, and still in the same century then he wrote it. Man in the Iron Mask had been nearly twenty years since the last of Alexandre Dumas’ novels about the fames Musketeers was translated to the big screen. Randall Wallace chooses Leonardo DiCaprio, Gabriel Byrne, Anne Parillaud, Jeremy Iron, John Malkovich, and Gerard Dipardieu to play their role.

  • Man in the Iron Mask Study Guide
    Synopsis A swashbuckling action adventure ‘The Man in the Iron Mask’ reunites the legendary Three Musketeers to once again defend the throne of France. When the Musketeers join forces to rescue a mysterious masked prisoner in the infamous Bastille Prison, they reveal a long held secret that could end the King’s reign and destroy their enduring alliance. In a dual role, Leonardo DiCaprio stars as King Louis XIV and ‘The Man in the Iron Mask’. The Three Musketeers are played by John Malkovich (Athos), Gerard Depardieu (Porthos) and Jeremy Irons (Aramis). Gahriel Byrne plays d’Artagnan, the famous Captain of the Musketeers. Director Randall Wallace UK release date March 20, 199R Certificate 12 Running time 132 mins History Now and Then When Alexandre Dumas wrote the stories involving the Musketeers - Athos, Porthos, Aramis and d’Artagnan - there must have been something attractive about the period in which he set his stories. Dumas was looking for a time in history which might have reflected some of the concerns of his own time. He was also looking for stories which would make ‘ripping yarns’. · Is this the same for historians and historical novelists today? Are the periods and subjects that they study simply chosen because they themselves are interested in them or do they have a relevance? Perhaps an ‘echo’ of what is happening in the world today! · What about your history studies? Why do you think you are studying the periods in history that you are? TASKS Look at some of the historical novels that are popular at the moment, for example the Sharpe series.

  • The Man in the Iron Mask, by Alexandre Dumas
    The Man in the Iron Mask, by Alexandre Dumas In A Nutshell In the beginning, there was The Three Musketeers. (Shortly afterward, there was the Shmoop guide. Go check it out.) Next, there was Twenty Years After. Finally, there was The Vicomte de Bragelonne. Together, the three books are known as Alexandre Dumas's D'Artagnan Romances and cover many years of adventures and swordfights, chronicling the lives of four Musketeers. The books were originally published in serial form, meaning they appeared one chapter at a time in the Parisian newspaper Le Siécle. This explains why Dumas's chapters are fairly self-contained and tend to end with a cliff hanger. He needed to retain readers. You can think of the serial form as the 18th century equivalent of a weekly sitcom that keeps the attention of its audience from one week to the next. When The Vicomte de Bragelonne was put together for publication in book form, English translators took one look and realized it was too long. They typically break it up into smaller volumes - sometimes three, sometimes four. No matter how they slice it, they always entitle the last chunk The Man in the Iron Mask. The Man in the Iron Mask takes place thirty-five years after The Three Musketeers. We meet our heroes - Athos, D'Artagnan, Aramis, and Porthos - as they encounter some serious responsibilities and challenges. The story takes place at the court of King Louis XIV.

  • The Valet: the Marquis De Louvois's Invited Guest in the Mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask by Sarah Madry Prefatory Remarks
    The Valet: The Marquis de Louvois’s Invited Guest in the Mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask by Sarah Madry Prefatory Remarks on the Spelling of Names The last name of the man known as the Man in the Iron Mask is spelled “Dauger” except where another author’s spelling is quoted. A seventeenth-century Paris family of minor nobility will be dis- cussed. That family’s name is spelled “d’Auger de Cavoye,” except where another author’s spelling is quoted. Why Solving the Problem of the Man in the Iron Mask Is Important for Scholars of French Seventeenth-century History This article addresses one description of the mysterious prisoner called L’Homme au masque de fer written in a letter, dated 19 July 1669, by the government official who oversaw his transfer to prison, Louis XIV’s (1638–1715) twenty-eight-year-old secretary for war, François-Michel Le Tellier, the marquis de Louvois (1641–1691). Louvois characterized Dauger in that letter as “only a valet.” Scholars have been compelled to incorporate this description of the prisoner into their theories about his identity. The search for the answer to this mystery has been tangled up in the demand of the “valet” to be consequential. This paper shows that, contrary to what has always been assumed, Louvois’s characterization of the prisoner as “un valet” does not describe the prisoner’s background or previous occupation, nor did Louvois intend it to. The word “valet” is a keyword in a pun that Louvois inserted into the state document that he wrote to the prison jailer, whom he knew person- ally.

  • The Man in the Iron Mask D U
    The Man in the Iron Mask D U MAS by Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) MASK In this, the last of the Three Musketeers novels, Dumas builds on the true story of a mysterious prisoner held incognito in the French penal system, forced to wear a mask when seen by any IRON but his jailer or his valet. If you have skipped the novels between The Three Musketeers and this, a few notes will bring you into the story: THE On one side – Aramis, now a bishop and secretly the head of the Jesuits, who believes he has IN found a path to a higher honor – the papacy. Aramis’ ally Monsieur Fouquet, the wealthy minister of finance. Philippe, the identical twin of King Louis XIV, who grew up in ignorance of his pedigree, and whose foster parents were murdered on the king’s order and himself sent to THE MAN solitary confinement in the notorious Bastille. On the other side – King Louis XIV, selected as the twin who would be king by his mother, and MAN THE who intends that his brother will never challenge him. Monsieur Colbert, first minister, who is jealous of Fouquet and plots his downfall. Unaligned and in danger of collateral damage – d’Artagnan, now captain of the King’s IN Musketeers and so the king’s chief defender, who suspects plots running beneath the surface. THE Athos, now the Comte de la Fer and one of the most respected noblemen of France.
