In Alexandre Dumas's classic novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, Gérard de Villefort was the individual who buried the newborn baby.
Villefort committed this heinous act by intentionally burying the infant alive shortly after its birth. The baby's mother, Madame Danglars, was also aware of this dark secret. Both Villefort and Madame Danglars knew about the crime, a fact that later influenced their reactions and distress when they were confronted by the consequences of their past actions by the Count of Monte Cristo. This act of infanticide is a critical plot point, highlighting Villefort's deep moral corruption and serving as a catalyst for significant events in the narrative.
