WHAT IS “THE THREE MUSKETEERS”?
In “The Three Musketeers” (1844) by Alexandre Dumas, the villainess Milady de Winter is speaking to the Comte de Rochefort about d’Artagnan, who wants to become a Musketeer; and Athos, Porthos and Aramis who are the three Musketeers. She tells Rochefort to inform the Cardinal “that among these four men two only are to be feared–d’Artagnan and Athos; tell him that the third, Aramis, is the lover of Madame de Chevreuse–he may be left alone, we know his secret, and it may be useful; as to the fourth, Porthos, he is a fool, a simpleton, a blustering booby, not worth troubling himself about.”
