In the beginning of Les Miserables, Jean Valjean, an ex-convict out on parole, is given shelter by a kind Bishop. Later, when Valjean is caught by the authorities after trying to steal the Bishop's silver, the Bishop lies to the men, telling them the silver had been a gift, and gives Valjean candlesticks as well. Valjean realizes that the world is not devoid of kind people, and is both inspired and shamed by the Bishop, who claims that he has rescued Valjean's soul "for God." In the musical version, Valjean then claims, "I feel my shame inside me like a knife." He also marvels, "What spirit comes to move my life? Is there another way to go?" Thus, the lesson he learns from the Bishop is that there is still the possibility for him to start a new life; that "another story must begin."
