2.6.7-2.6.8

2.6.7

I think this may be one of my favourite chapters from the convent digression. The austere veneer is finally lifted from the convent and the nuns. In the earlier chapters, we were hearing about the nuns and what is said about Petit-Picpus without really knowing them as individual people and here we do finally get a chance to meet them. We came from the gloomy buildings and history of the convent to meeting people (which was how Waterloo was arranged as well, I think) and the nuns have actual personalities, one of them is kind and therefore preferred by the children, the other is very learned in many subjects, still others are described as ‘having a dreadful singing voice’ but Hugo while he may critique the outward institution, shows that the people are nice, kind and well…people.

I also love that while they are harsh on themselves, they treat the children with kindness and that is so good to read after what we had been told about the nuns and how strict they are. The nuns and the sisters are still ordinary people and we finally get a chance to meet them and know them properly.  

2.6.8

Hugo is mapping out the convent as gallows with a moat, which sounds very ominous. He attaches the death symbolism with the convent and he did that at the start of this digression as well, when he compared the building to the tomb. All this is supposed to be very symbolic. 

I also like the description of the garden as the wheel with a cross, the garden is much favourably depicted and maybe related to the garden with Bishop Myriel and cultivating plants and beauty. The roundness of the garden is contrasted with the sharp edges of the building. 

So maybe linking that with the title, the chapter really is advocating for nature before the stone building, the nature was here first and will endure even among the stones. It is interesting that we get this death and gallows after the image of the nuns, I like the nuns Hugo, I like them a lot, maybe the nuns are in this symbolic death. I love the line ‘for God brought forth flowers before he brought forth stones,’ it seems to me to be a statement on the enduring power of God, not needing the convent built of stones? I don’t know, but it seems a thing Hugo would say.

The convent fills a trapezium made up of four streets. The main building looks, from a bird’s eye view, like a gibbet. The public entrance is only ever opened on Sundays or when a nun’s casket is carried out. The garden is very irregular, and there is tall fir tree almost exactly in the middle.

It is in a part of the city more ancient than Paris herself.

Brickclub Les Mis 2.6.8

Hugo describes the convent, not unlike how he mapped Waterloo with the letter A. Instead of a letter, though, here Hugo choses to describe the convent as a gibbet. It's not like he had to use that particular imagery--he's not even describing a (single, specific) real place. 

And, in a completely predictable turn, Hugo abruptly starts talking about the historic street names of the area. It may not be important to the plot, but I love the line "...God opened the flowers before man cut stone". 

No second person pronouns.

This chapter is a physical description of the convent's lay-out.

It feels sort of weird coming after 7 chapters of description, and 4 of action, but this has to be deliberate placement. The four chapters of the last book, with JVJ's gradual discovery of the convent environs, needed to proceed this description, so that the audience could have the scene slowly revealed as JVJ discovers it.  This slow reveal continues in 2.6.1 with the second-person "visitor" revealing the convent's public face (such as it is). Then we get the rules of the convent, the characters who inhabit it, and some anecdotes of daily life--I'm going to interpret that as a priority-based chapter organization. Hugo thinks we need to know the building layout for events to come, but that understanding who the nuns are and what they do is more important to the story. It also contextualizes the buildings we see: the ruins (there have been convents here for a long time), the school (children v. important), the little convent (bonus nuns! and chance to compare practices), the high walls & rarely-used doors (seclusion), bent church (ditto), and the main building itself.
