Parallels With The Count Of Monte Christo
The Shawshank Redemption shares many similarities with Alexandre Dumas’ epic novel, The Count of Monte Christo, which is also featured in the film. The protagonist in The Count of Monte Christo is wrongly imprisoned for a crime he did not commit and subsequently escapes by excavating a tunnel that takes him years to complete. Following his escape, he discovers a buried treasure that he learned about in prison and uses it to carry out a plot to get revenge on those who had harmed him.
