The setting is in France during the reign of Louis XIV, the "Sun King." This work
is the third book in the trilogy about the three musketeers and has it all--intrigue, betrayal,
loyalty, friendship, and love. This tale centers on the legend about a man in an iron mask
during the time of Louis XIV. Dumas gives us one possibility as to whose face was behind the
mask. Dumas seems to regret the decay of the French social structure in this novel. The pillars
of French society--God, family, pleasure, and king, were the bonds that strengthened the French
in their day-to-day living. But now, with the rise of the "Sun King", French society
is embodied into the king alone and the other elements become less important. This is a lengthy
work, but well worth the time to read.
Package includes study guide, answer keys, and vocabulary quizzes.
