Scene: 1
Note, the answer is that the spy is his (Alessandro's brother in law), who was passing messages through his daughter Tjanja. Alessandro will not kill him, but take everything from him away. In his place and incharge of his property he will place a 'protector' one of his notaries who's job it will be to delagate the running of the business to it's submanagers. The brother-in-law will be 'made' to retire to a nut house and his daughter will end up in prison in Slovenija.
Scene: 2
The smuggler, Tjanja's Father, is visited by a man, Monte Cristo (Edmond Dantes). Dantes, disguised as a preist asks the man if he wishes to confess his sins. But the man simply says he is not ready and that he has a question for the priest. Dante obliges him and the smuggler asks. Why are you a priest? The priest answers, 'I wished to do wrong and I must attone for it if god is to be with me' and so he tells the story of how his mentor the Abbe Faria, with his thorough understanding of human nature, accurately predicts that Dantès will soon be consumed with the thought of the wrong done to him and will thirst for vengeance. He knows that once this transformation occurs, Dantès will never be able to experience life the way he does before he feels these emotions of bitter vengeance. Dantes sayshe adopted the habit as a way of trying to prevent such temptation on his teachers wise advise. But he fears the day that such temptation comes. The smuggler looks at him levely and says "Man is taken by Satan to the highest mountain on the earth, and when there satan said to man, ‘Child of earth, what wouldst thou have to make thee adore me?’ . . . man replies, ‘Listen . . . I wish to be Providence myself, for I feel that the most beautiful, noblest, most sublime thing in the world, is to recompense and punish." At this, the man begins to tell the story of his loss of his daughter and his wish for vengenance upon the man who brought it about. This obsession with reward and punishment, which he confesses to the priest, is the driving force of his incarceration as whoever did such things also knows of mans nature. Associating his mission of vengeance not only with God but also with the devil. His characterization of his mission as both godlike and satanic is likely an attempt to frighten and unnerve the priest. Yet this characterization foreshadows Monte Cristo’s later change too. As though the false priest MC knows the all too realization that there is in fact something slightly evil to this mans mission as well as something holy. Ultimately, the smuggler persuades MC to acknowledge that not only God has the right to act in the name of Providence, it was why he created man, and that, like the devil, he himself has not overstepped his bounds by trying to act in God’s domain because such evil takes place upon the earth and man, as gods creation is placed there as the creation of god to do as he sees fit. The tools and bodily representation of man. As the priest, MC agrees to look into the matter for the prisoner of his lost daughter. The priests visit is watched and reported to the guards who are on the pay of Alessandro regarding the priests visit. He is from then on watched nd followed.
