Question

Describe Alexandre Dumas as a writer/novelist.

What characteristics of Dumas are important in order to understand his as a writer?

Answer 1

In order to understand Dumas one must be aware of the contrast of his boastfulness and frankness which, although contradictory in nature, brighten up his works as a whole, moreso his memoirs.

Furthermore, one must acknowledge his emphasis on plot points—seen throughout his various works, spanning from plays to novels, the stories he wrote of were convoluted, often even more than the characters he wrote.
