What lesson does val jean learn from the bishop at the beginning of Les Miserables?

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."


What is the first song in Les Miserables?

Les Miserables begins by introducing the reader to the minor character Bishop Bienvenu. Jean Valjean is searching for shelter and is told to knock on the Bishop's door. Jean Valjean, allowed to stay the night within the Bishop's home, steals some of Bienvenu's expensive silver and runs away. When Jean Valjean is brought back to Bishop Bienvenu by some men under the suspicion that he stole the silver, Bishop Bienvenu insists they were a gift and that Jean Valjean had forgotten to take also the matching candlesticks. This simple act of the Bishop astounds Jean Valjean who has been hardened by the cruelty of society and the French justice system. This night ultimately leads to Jean Valjean's entire remodeling of his life to become a valued, respected, productive member of society.
