Notes Nortier
· Nortier wants his honor upheld therefore he cannot consent to a marriage between his granddaughter and a royalist.
“Nortier looked at Villefort with an almost sublime expression of contempt and pride.”
· Nortier is very satisfied with himself now that his honor has been upheld
· Another issue of honor is the question of retaliation by Franz D’ Epinay for the killing of his father? Should he retaliate?
“Villefort opened the door and fled, for he was seized with the impulse to choke out of the old man the little life that remained to him.”
· With the honor of Nortier upheld the honor of Villefort has suddenly been destroyed, Franz couldn’t possibly respect the son of the man who killed his father
· Nortier is not only defending the honor of himself but the honor of the Bonapartist party, Nortier cannot let the Bonapartists be stepped on even though they aren’t in power
