“Fate abruptly brought together, and wed with its irresistible power, these two shattered lives, dissimilar in years, but similar in sorrow.” Les Misérables, Victor Hugo

did you see them going off to fight?

jean valjean is at the baker’s. “how much for these buns?” jean valjean asks. “oh, it’s two for 6.01,” the baker says. jean valjean turns very pale

so long as there shall exist a social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, complicates a destiny that is divine with human fatality; so long as the three problems of the age—the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by night—are not solved; so long as social asphyxia shall be possible; so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless.

my english teacher made the class read and analyze this poem this morning and it was really weird like the whole class was satanically chanting “BREAD!” it was nothing i ever expected to do in my entire life

Soliloquy

Best thing ever.

Javert: Now bring me prisoner 24601, your time is up and your parole’s begun. You know what that means?

Valjean: Yes, it means I’m free.

Javert:

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS IMAGE FOR MONTHS I’M SO GLAD IT’S BACK ON MY DASH.

From the table in the corner

They could see a world reborn

And they rose with voices ringing

I can hear them now

The very words that they had sung

Became their last communion

On the lonely barricade at dawn

My dad just came into my room and said ‘but what if Javert was actually just Valjean’s conscience and him dying was actually signifying that Valjean had let go of his inner demons and washed away his crime’ and left

I’m going to cry

Hey Valjean

That’s a nice jacket you’ve got there.

I wonder what color it is.

Who wants to come to IKEA with me to see how many barricades we can make before we get kicked out?

[thelilnan]

I started a Bad Lip Reading thing with Javert gifs

but it’s probably not going to get better than this

[rapatriers]

reminder that

Javert committed suicide between the bridges of Pont Notre Dame and Pont au Change

which are smack bang in the middle between Notre Dame cathedral and the Palais de Justice

immediately after Valjean let him go free, unable to reconcile his internal conflict between what he always thought was right and this new experience of grace and forgiveness

literally caught between God and the Law

Monsieur Victor Hugo strikes again.
