Les Miserables

…

…form of Jean Valjean, his hero of justice, and his victim of society, as divine intervention. This leads the reader to believe that Hugo stressed the philosophy and ideal of adherent good in all mankind, despite the situations into which they are placed. Forged by this ideal, the principle behind Les Miserables is that against social persecution and a world of corruption, good can still flourish and live in the hearts of all mankind.
