__ The Three Musketeers __ By: Alexandere Dumas One of the parts that I am having problems understanding is when D’Artagnan has to go to England to get a necklace from the Duke of Buckingham. I think the necklace originally belonged to the Queen of France but I don’t know how the Duke of Buckingham got it. I Know that the Cardinal wants to prove she doesn’t have it but I am not sure why. This part is very confusing and I hope I will understand it later in the novel. I don’t like the part of the novel where each of the main characters is looking for their equipment for an upcoming battle. This part of the novel is long and not very interesting and it doesn’t have a big effect on the rest of the story. The Duke of Buckingham gets mad at the Cardinal and wages war on France. The four friends are in the army so they have to go to the battle. Before they can do this each of them has to buy equipment that they can’t afford because they gambled away all of their money. The equipment doesn’t explain past events or set up new ones so it is boring and can be hard to follow. If I could be any character in the book I would want to be D’Artagnan because he is the main character and has the most exciting life. D’Artagnan Goes on the most adventures and becomes popular with powerful people in France and England.
