Les Misérables

In Les Misérables, the theme of revenge is exemplified through Javert's relentless pursuit of Jean Valjean, driven by his steadfast devotion to the law and his desire to see justice served. However, this quest for vengeance ultimately leads to Javert questioning his beliefs and the nature of mercy, highlighting the destructive nature of revenge in the story.

In "Les Misérables," Marius says that if the soldiers do not retreat, he will stand between them and the insurgents, risking his life to prevent bloodshed. He hopes to defuse the situation and save lives by advocating for peace and understanding.

"Les Misérables" the musical was written by Claude-Michel Schönberg, Alain Boublil, and Herbert Kretzmer. Based on Victor Hugo's novel of the same name, the musical features iconic songs and has become one of the most popular and enduring musicals worldwide.

In the original London production of Les Misérables, Colm Wilkinson was succeeded by Gary Morris as Jean Valjean.

In "Les Misérables," Javert is an inspector who pursues Jean Valjean relentlessly due to his unyielding commitment to upholding the law. He represents the rigid nature of law and order, while Valjean symbolizes compassion and the potential for redemption. Their dynamic serves as a significant theme in the novel, highlighting the tension between justice and mercy.

Victor Hugo wrote both "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Les Misérables." Hugo was a French writer known for his novels, plays, and poetry that often focused on social and political issues of his time.

Victor Hugo wrote Les Misérables, a French novel published in 1862. It is considered one of the greatest works of world literature and has been adapted into various films, plays, and musicals.

Here is one translation of Fantine's death:

Fantine began to shake.

"My child!" she yelled, "Go and get my child! So she's not here! Sister, answer me, where is Cosette? I want my little girl! Monsieur Madeleine! Monsieur le Maire"

Javert stamped his foot.

"There goes the other one now! Shut up, you slut! What a godforsaken place, where the galley-slaves are magistrates and tarts are looked after like little countesses! Well, all that's going to change now, and high time, too!"

He glared at Fantine and added, grabbing a fistful of Jean Valjean's cravat, shirt, and collar: "I'm telling you there is no Monsieur Madeleine and there is no Monsieur le Maire. There is a thief, there is a crook, there is a convict named Jean Valjean! He's the one I've got hold of! So that's what there is!"

Fantine sat bolt upright, leaning on both hands with her arms stiff, she looked at Jean Valjean, she looked at Javert, she looked at the nun, she opened her mouth to speak, a rattle came out from deep in her chest, her teeth began to chatter, she stretched her arms in anguish, convulsively opening her hands and groping all around her like someone drowning; then she suddenly sank back on her pillow. Her head hit the headboard and fell forward on her chest, with her mouth gaping, her eyes open and glazed.

She was dead.

Fantine has had to give up her child to get a job, from which she is fired and forced to sell her own body, until Jean Valjean finds her. Valjean, an ex-convict, is also called Monsieur Madeleine and he has changed his ways to become the beloved Mayor of Montreuil-sur-mer. Valjean promises to bring Fantine her child, Cosette, but fails to do so. Javert, a policeman, arrests Valjean in the hospital right by Fantine's bed.

In the musical Les Mis this scene is called The Confrontation.

Inspector Javert is the primary antagonist in Les Miserables.

Originally his prison warden, Javert becomes an inspector of police in order to track down Jean Valjean after he breaks parole.

Javert has a very firm view on the criminal world with the belief that, ultimately, anyone who breaks the law is a terrible person and deserves to burn in hell and anyone that does not break the law is righteous. This fuels his many year search for Valjean and causes him to eventually *SPOILER ALERT* commit suicide when Valjean proves his theory wrong with his own mercy.

The type of information on Valjean's ticket of leave would probably have been the terms of his parole. It might have included things such as the nature of his crime, places he was forbidden to go, people he was forbidden to interact with, and his personal information should he have violated those terms.

In the novel "Les Misérables," Jean Valjean helps Javert by saving his life after Javert is captured by revolutionaries at the barricade. Valjean's act of mercy towards Javert makes him question his beliefs about justice and mercy, ultimately leading to Javert's internal conflict and decision to let Valjean go free.

No, the Punjab is not in Les Miserables. Les Miserables is a French historical novel written by Victor Hugo, set in France during the early 19th century. The Punjab is a region in South Asia, primarily in India and Pakistan.

I guess there's quite a few- an obvious one would be Javert's suicide. Javert spent most of his like hunting down Valjean so he could kill him, but ended up killing himself because of Valjean.

Cosette's husband in Les Misérables is Marius Pontmercy.

In "Les Miserables," the Thenardiers made a significant amount of money off of Cosette by exploiting her as a child laborer. They forced her to work long hours at their inn and did not provide her with proper care or education. The exact amount of money they made is not specified in the story.

It is based on a novel by Victor Hugo.

it is cool

Bishop tried to save JV from doom? Or himself? Did he really believe he was ever getting out of there? Did he just want a buddy or mentee to make him feel valued? Granted, an education helped pass time and keep him from wasting away, but did he really do him any favors by firing up his need for revenge? And what is JV's doom? Is it the physical/literal situation or his state of mind? Isn't ignorance supposed to be bliss? What if he hadn't escaped? Would we still view Bishop as saving him if he had to spend the rest of his life in prison?

It's a great story with A LOT of possibilities. First examine how you, as the reader, define the words "save" and "doom" as they relate to the story and characters. Once you define these terms you can narrow your search to the internal or external doom JV needed to be saved from. Overall, if you want the easy answer: by giving him knowledge... knowledge is power. With proper support and examples from the text, this answer will maybe, maybe, maybe get you a B on a paper. If it were me writing the paper I would argue whether or not JV was actually "saved" by Bishop's actions. Far more controversial and attention-holding than the Cliff's Notes.

The bishop told his housekeeper not to worry about the lost silver because he had given it to the man who stole it, as a gift. He believed in showing compassion and forgiveness to others, reflecting his moral values.

i know the answer

Just jocking

That was actually Monsieur Madeleine (Jean Valjean's alias) who saved the sailor. This act of heroism helped to showcase Jean Valjean's compassion and goodness despite his troubled past. It also demonstrated his willingness to help others in need, even at the risk of exposing his true identity.

No, Les Misérables is a novel by Victor Hugo, not a girl. It tells the story of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his struggles for redemption in 19th-century France. It has been adapted into various stage and film productions.

Lux facta est in Les Miserables translates to "light has been made" in English. It is a Latin phrase often used in reference to a moment of illumination or clarity in the story. In Les Miserables, it signifies a turning point where truth is revealed and understanding is gained.

In the book, Eponine tells Marius right before she dies, "And you know what Monsieur Marius? I was a little bit in love with you." (or something like that.) And in the musical, she tells him through the song "A Little Fall of Rain."
