What is implied by the word loathsome as it is used in paragraph 2 of The Count of Monte Cristo?: “So many loathsome animals inhabited the prison, that their noise did not, in general, awake him”

The world loathsome in the excerpt implies "repugnant" or "disgusting".

Thus, we can infer from the excerpt that the prison where The Count of Monte Cristo was jailed was brimming with animals that are considered to be repugnant, like cockroaches or rats, and there were so many of them, that the Count had gotten used to their noise somehow, being able to sleep among them.

explanation:

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.

hope this !
