let’s have an IMMERSIVE LES MIS where you’re REQUIRED TO BRING A PIECE OF FURNITURE to sit on for the show. and then top of act 2 you have to THROW YOUR FURNITURE ON THE STAGE AND SIT AT THE BARRICADE while people ACTUALLY SHOOT YOU with REAL BULLETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I refuse to believe javert killed himself only because it turned out he was an awful person. bro liked it a little too much when Jean almost killed him and the internalised homophobia hit like a truck
okay to be honest i do not think grantaire would like hozier or ricky montgomery or ethel cain or the other artists i see tumblr associating with grantaire often. their songs being similar to his character doesn't mean he as the character would actually LISTEN to them, like i just don't think he's that self-aware lmao? not to mention i don't think the musical styles/genres of those artists really fit him either. i personally think grantaire would listen to obscure european gabber music and kind of shitty house music from the 80's. and weezer
Hugo had a classmate named Joly. The boy was from a rich and respectable family, but he started gambling, spent his family fortune, and ended up in prison for forgery. Thanks to Hugo’s intervention, his sentence was shortened to four years. In the mid-1840s, a white-haired man in ragged clothes approached Hugo, and he hardly recognized Joly. He gave him money once, twice… and as it continued for some time, Hugo decided he had enough.
As a result, he used Joly’s story for several purposes. His life story became a kind of antithesis to Valjean’s: a tale of moral degradation and loss of money was reversed into a story of moral reform and upward social mobility. Joly, like Valjean, broke his parole and instead of the ascribed place of residence, he arrived in Paris where he met Hugo. Finally, his name was given to one of Les Amis.
i watched falsettos. i'm sad now
Javert is as tragic as the title of the book suggests, a miserable.
He may even be the main antagonist, in the sense of opposing the centric character (Jean Valjean), but he is certainly not a villain.
He is obsessed with fulfilling his duty and in a tireless pursuit of justice. He does not believe in Jean Valjean's redemption and his obsession with persecuting him is related to his rigid worldview based on his personal experience and inflexible principles, related to his past, where he was born into a dysfunctional family. He firmly believes in the idea that a bad person is bad forever. He sees his role as Inspector as a fight against crime and injustice.
He doesn't pursue Jean Valjean because he's a villain, he pursues him because he believes Jean is a criminal, who violated his parole, and therefore deserves to be sent back to the prison system.
He was just a man who believed he was doing the right thing, following the law. He believed that people chose to be miserable and that they got what they deserved for choosing to be "vagabonds." He looked at himself and took pleasure in thinking; I came from a dysfunctional home and I still do what is right, so if others don't do it, it's because they don't want to and will never change.
But then he finds himself at a crossroads after Jean Valjean spares his life: "the law says I must arrest this man. But my conscience says I owe him a life debt."
For the first time he contemplates that "law" and "justice" do not always go together. It would be "legal under the law" to arrest Jean, but it would not be "morally just". It's a conflict between legality versus morality.
So poor Javert still faces the deconstruction of his beliefs: “he thought that good and evil were very different things and that an ex-convict could only be bad while a police officer could only be good”, when he realizes that reality not obeys that extreme and that a prisoner can be good (or that it is possible to change and become good), just as a law enforcement officer can become corrupt.
Faced with so many things that he firmly believed falling apart, showing erroneous beliefs of live, he chooses to kill himself rather than live with such unrest. So, basically he commits suicide because he was saved by Jean Valjean, and he couldn't stand that fact.
It really must have been scary to discover that he has spent his life following beliefs that suddenly deteriorate in front of him. It's sad that in the face of this "scare" he chose to kill himself.
The character promotes a very pertinent reflection, and leads us to reconsider the way we look at people who are typically stigmatized by society. Victor Hugo is never trying to say that bad people are good deep down, nothing like that; After all, there is the character Mr. Thénardier to prove this. What he is saying is that we cannot make it an absolute rule that all people who commit crimes were and will be bad forever. Because by establishing that they are, a stigma is created that can be unfair for those who, like Jean, tried to change their lives.
It is also necessary to remember that at no point does Hugo say that Jean Valjen was right in stealing the bread, but rather that the penalty imposed on him was disproportionate to the crime committed. In the end, we read that Javert kills himself because he cannot bear the idea that Jean, an ex-prisoner, can go from darkness to light. While he, by following the law, committed an injustice.
He thinks that Jean, even though he was a former prisoner, managed to go to a place above him morally, while he, who was such an inflexible agent of the law, saw himself as someone tough who didn't understand the factor of redemption as an element capable of rescue the soul of someone who once made a mistake.
Honestly, I like the character and understand the powerful reflection he brings to us. But at the same time, I'm sad that he killed himself. He could have chosen other paths, but ultimately he was so desolate that he saw no other options.
It's an old tale
can it be, you fear to die?
click for better quality they make me sick
a strange occurrence from a post i made (somewhere else) has resulted in me spending three days drawing javert in Situations
it's definitely not as organised or thought-out as other videos i've posted in here but i did just want to cobble together something so i hope it's enjoyable nonetheless
FOOLS. that "STRAIGHT MAN" was a MASC LESBIAN all along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
seeing characters in books with my exact thought process is genuinely terrifying like how do you know
