Les Misérables

Jean Valjean rents the house in the rue plumet to protect Cosette and himself from potential danger. He believes that living in seclusion with Cosette will keep them safe from Javert and other threats that may come their way.

"Les Misérables" is set during the early 19th century in France, during a time of political upheaval and social unrest. The story takes place during the reign of King Louis-Philippe, who ruled France from 1830 to 1848.

The musical debuted in France in 1981, but did not become a hit until the 1985 London version when it was picked up by Cameron Mackintosh.

It was based on the book Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, which was set during the timeframe of the June Rebellions in France. No such man like Jean Valjean existed; he and all the other characters were pure fiction. However, the June Rebellions did take place and were pretty miserable failures, and so that part of the movie was based on truth.

Yes, "Les Misérables" was originally published as a serial novel in France from 1862 to 1867. It was written by Victor Hugo and released in separate installments before being compiled into a complete book.

Fantine leaves Cosette in the care of the Thénardiers because she is unable to provide for her daughter financially. She hopes that the Thénardiers will care for Cosette until she can return and take her back.

Marius looks through the crack in his wall because he is spying on his neighbors, particularly Cosette whom he has feelings for. He is captivated by her beauty and innocence, and becomes deeply infatuated with her.

Because there are many different sections and stories that happen in Les Miserables, there can be different central ideas. But if we look at the main character, Jean Valjean, the main idea would definitely come across as change and mercy. Valjean was able to completely change his life around, and truly becomes a man of mercy after his encounter with the Bishop of Digne.

Cosette. By the way, it's actually spelled "Fantine," just so you know :).

Cosette sings "Castle on a Cloud" in the musical Les Miserables. The song is performed by young Cosette when she dreams of being in a better place than the one she currently lives in.

Both novels, and I know them only from reviews, etc, used Poverty as a basic plot element and this was done in an English ( Twist) and French(Les Miserables) context. the literal translation would be the Miserables- miserable people- note the vague similarity to the word ( Miser).not the same, that comes from Economiser- a back clippling, like, Phone, Plane, etc. American writers of the time- nineteenth century, while not ignoring the hazards and privations of the Frontier- usually ginger coated a la (Roughing it), generally ignored static social problems as a downsville (to use language not yet coined) plot device. occasionally a fantasy such as the Prince and the Pauper- by Mark Twain, but the problems of the lower social classes - as a closed circ uit- no bootstrap up and out- was generally ignored. One of the first American writers to seriously tackle social problems- apart form captive sociologists, was probably John Steinbeck in (The Grapes Of Wrath) Title comes from Battle Hymn. Generally American writers, except possibly War studies, did not (Go in) for social commentary in the nineteenth century.

In Les Miserables, Javert is the antagonist. He is an Inspector of police who has dedicated his life to finding The Protagonist, Jean Valjean, who has broken Parole. Javert philosophy on life is that anyone who breaks the law is a bad person and deserves to rot in jail and that anyone who doesn't break the law is a good person. Because of this, Javert is merciless to anyone who breaks the law. When Jean Valjean proves Javert's philosophy wrong, Javert realizes how many lives he's ruined and how all he's done with his life is hurt people. Not able to bear the pain of what he'd done, javert commits suicide by jumping off a bridge.

Cosette and Marius eventually end up talking when Valjean discovers Marius' interest in Cosette and orchestrates a meeting between them. Valjean invites Marius to their home and allows the two to spend time together, leading to their first conversation.
