This chapter's epigraph comes from a famous poem by Alexandre Dumas. It's about a guy who's got a crush on a woman and wants to marry her. The guy's name is Alexandre Dumas, and he's the protagonist of this story. He's also a famous war hero. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge, which was a bloody civil war between the U.S. and Great Britain. In this poem, the protagonist tells the story of how he and his friends fought to the death for the right to marry the woman of their dreams. He also tells his friends that he'd rather die than marry a woman he doesn't love.
