Long Answer
1. Villefort, a government prosecutor, sends Edmond to prison, despite understanding his innocence, because he hopes to further his prospects by hiding his own father’s Bonapartist leanings. Debray uses information gained in his governmental position to use Danglars as a proxy for financial speculation. (Various chapters)
2. When M. Morrel is in debt, all he can think about is repaying it, and when he thinks he will fail, he contemplates suicide because of the shame. By contrast, when Danglars falls deep into debt, he simply runs away from the problem by fleeing to Rome. These contrasting responses demonstrate that Morrel has a strong moral character and Danglars has a weak one. (Various chapters)
