Most of Dumas's novels are based on real history as the background, the plot twists and turns are vivid, and the events develop unexpectedly, which is known as a historical thrill novel. Different from ordinary works, in the work "Three Musketeers", it is often full of unexpected challenges and adventures, the protagonist is often in a dangerous situation, and the suspense of whether he can successfully get out of trouble also closely affects the reader's heart.

All kinds of uncertainties, unpredictable futures and destinies make readers have a strong curiosity, and the choices of the 3 musketeers in different situations also reveal the efforts made by people to surpass themselves, realize their self-worth, and complete their life mission. Fighting to the end for ideals and convictions like a knight, judging brutal and shameless acts like a judge, and fighting for the protection of loved ones like a bodyguard, this scene constitutes the magnificent picture of "Three Musketeers".

"The Three Musketeers", also translated as "The Hidden Book" and "The Three Musketeers", is one of the representative works of the French 19th-century Romantic writer Alexandre Dumas, and the book has been remade into a film work five times. The protagonist of the book is d'Artagnan, and the three musketeers are Athos, Aramis and Bordeaux.

The whole book is about d'Artagnan, who came from a fallen aristocratic background, joined the musketeers' guard in Paris, joined king Louis XIII's musketeers' guard, and became inseparable friends with three other musketeers. In order to protect the reputation of the Queen Spanish Princess Anna Austria, they joined forces to fight against Cardinal Richelieu, and finally defeated the obstacles set by Richelieu, and went to England to retrieve the queen's diamond from the Duke of Buckingham, foiling Richelieu's plot to provoke the king and queen.

A group of enthusiastic young people, for the sake of a common mission, put aside their personal prejudices and arrogance, and closely unite to expose the cardinal's tricks, which in itself requires a kind of high-spirited heroism. The content of d'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis and Bordeaux finally took back the diamonds and maintained the stability of the royal family, and this content setting itself contained a social desire of Dumas: the loyal and courageous people should spare no effort to defend the honor and position of the country, and dare to fight all evil forces to the end.

The main literary achievement of "The Three Musketeers" is that it creates a series of three-dimensional and vivid, flesh-and-blood characters. D'Artagnan was witty, brave, and righteous; Athos was sophisticated and jealous; cardinals were sinister and treacherous; Porthos was vain and impulsive. In addition to these characters, Cardinal Richelieu's close confidant, Milady, is a character who is particularly vividly portrayed in the book.

Milady is naturally beautiful and charming, but she has two sides and three knives and a honey belly sword. In order to help Prime Minister Cardinal Richelieu defeat his enemy, the Duke of Buckingham, and to provoke relations between King Louis XIII and Queen Anna Austria, Milady violated morality and conscience, and in order to achieve this goal, he seduced d'Artagnan, Felton, the Little Priest, Rafael and other men, and went to great lengths to deceive their feelings. In the end, the sinful Milady suffered the consequences and was killed.

In the murder of Milady, d'Artagnan was the mastermind. When Cardinal Richelieu sent his cronies Rochefort to arrest Milady, d'Artagnan was humble and frank. Richelieu, seeing d'Artagnan's bravery and righteousness, could not help but feel respect for him, and not only pardoned his crimes, but also promoted him to be an aide-de-camp of the musket corps. Later, Athos, Aramis, and Bordeaux, or returned to their hometowns, or converted to religion, or married widows, each of them went to their own more abundant lives.

If, in the beginning, d'Artagnan and the three musketeers formed a group to complete a common task, then as the situation of the struggle continued to change, these people seemed to have become good friends who were born and died. Together, they grew up in the fierce struggle and became the pillars of talent who can make contributions to the country. No matter how the times change, the qualities of determination, wit, optimism, and integrity in these heroic musketeers will be passed on forever and become the character of the heroes who stand firm.
