This Erin is from 1.7.2!

Victor Hugo’s hatred of inns and innkeepers still going strong I see

Brickclub: 1.7.2

So here’s a question: Does Madeleine really not understand how much anything costs, due to having spent so much of his life without any money, and so lets himself be scammed out of his money so often, or does he know exactly how much things should cost and is well aware that people are lying through their teeth to get his cash and gives it anyway? I’m inclined to go with the second, which marks a slight deviation from the Bishop’s philosophy. I don’t think the Bishop would let himself get scammed by already comfortable businessfolk, even if he was rich, because that money could be better spent feeding someone who otherwise wouldn’t be fed. Madeleine doesn’t seem to have a desire to differentiate between the recipients of his generosity, whereas Myriel is all about trying to specifically help the least fortunate.

(Sidenote: I do the exact same thing as Scaufflaire when I want to know something that I don’t want to admit to having been thinking about for a while.)

Meanwhile, Madeleine is doing the thing again, where he doesn’t show what he’s thinking on his face. Only this time his behavior is uncharacteristic enough that people take notice anyway. When he’s just talking to Javert, he can get away with not attracting attention. When he’s planning for a sudden rush trip to Arras while undergoing a moral crisis, he can’t.

(Sidenote 2: How did Javert get to Arras? Did the police arrange his transportation, or did he too rent a horse and vehicle?)

Others have already pointed out the way that this chapter locks us completely out of Madeleine’s head. The next one, as we see by the last sentence of the chapter, is going to take us directly into his internal monologue. This is a thing Hugo likes to do -- he’ll set the scene from one perspective and then go back to it from a second. Often this means painting it first from an omniscient perspective (i.e. Jean Valjean arrives in Digne and everyone rejects him) and then filling in the details from a more closed third-person view (i.e. we get Jean Valjean’s backstory and see what it means in the context of his life when the people of Digne reject him). It’s a neat way to more subtly play up the gossip theme he’s got going: you see a situation the way people not involved see it, and then you go back and see what’s really going on, from the perspective of the person it’s happening to.

1.7.1

I like the descriptions of Sister Perpetue being a nun as others are cooks. This is a way of Hugo talking about the peasants, which well, it is not very flattering, but she is interesting, in her own way, with her patois accent and her ruddy complexion, scaring the invalids into believing in God and being very matter of fact. Sister SImplice on the other hand is the exact opposite and very reminiscent of the way Baptistine was described, with the ‘less of a woman more of an ideal’ kind of language. She also cannot lie, much like Javert, though she s all kindness and goodness in herself.

I don’t really think her flaws are flaws though, having a sweet tooth or wanting to write letters doesn’t seem like a terrible thing unless the nuns are supposed to abstain completely from anything that makes them happy. I don’t know whether this is Hugo being, nuns are supposed to be perfect in every way, kind of thing or if it was frowned upon to actually do anything so simple like reading and writing letters to outside family members, even supposing that you have to cut off contact to a large extent and be more devoted in prayers, it still seems too much to me, occassional prayers and having sweet items does not seem a big deal.

I like that she has grown fond of Fantine though I can definitely understand that Fantine herself would prefer Madeleine who was a ray of sunshine and warmth for her, compared to Sister Simplice, which is good for Fantine, who is sinking rapidly. Madeleine himself has taken on the mantle of the bishop in his visits to Fantine which is wonderful.

1.7.2

Madeleine is still occupied by his worries of Champmathieu’s trial, but he hardly lets it show on his face, however here his agitation is reflected in the fact that he almost goes to visit the parish priest but decides otherwise against taking advice.

This chapter is concerned with logistics, so a lot of time is spent in deciding over the horse and the type of carriage, but Madeleine does not really care about his own comfort or safety, only about the horse and of making sure Monsieur Scaufflaire is not getting a bad deal.

Monsieur Scaufflaire on the other hand, cares about gossip and where monsieur le maire is going so suddenly and with such haste and despite Madeleine’s refusal to answer, figures it out. Madeleine gives him a lot more money than his horse and tilbury is worth, he is dedicated to charity and to giving money away, he rarely spends it on himself, much like the bishop but it is still too much money he is giving away.

He does show the beginnings of the tempest in his head in this chapter, pacing up and down all night even if his face betrays very little of it to other people. It is interesting that he has learned to conceal secrets due to living his life always in fear of the law, but the fact that he has a dilemma to solve, means that the right thing to do for him is never easy, he has to work hard and fight his impulses. It also is a difficult decision that he has found himself in, or rather two decisions, how to retrieve Cosette and whether to let an innocent man like Champmathieu take the fall and be imprisoned under the name of Valjean, an identity which he had shed and for himself to be confined to darkness again. It is surprising that he remains so much calmer throughout this chapter then.
