Valjean or Bishop Myriel?

Agh, difficult. I love them both so much. A part of me wants to say Myriel because I think fandom neglects him, and he was young and worldly and handsome once–the brick explicitly says so! But I feel very sad about passing up the opportunity to date Valjean. So, I think… I think I have to go with Valjean.

Does anyone but me ever wonder what Javert actually does while he's off 'collecting intel' off the barricade? Like, does he go and get a coffee, change of clothes, maybe a shower or a drink?

Hey! On your analysis of chapter 10, you wondered if Hugo’s opinions are more toward the Revolutionary or the Bishop. I'm reading it in original french and on a foot note it's written than Hugo doesn't identify with any of them and his intention is that the reader has to form between these two statues his own ideal of himself.

Thank you so much for taking some time out of your day to respond to me! I bet it's great to read in the original French, very interesting with all those footnotes :3That's a very idealogical approach. I wonder if Hugo was trying to shape the reader into someone who subjectively sees both parts of the argument? I'd love to go back in time and make him answer all the questions I have about this book. But thank you for helping me to understand the author himself a bit more. He is very very elusive at times.:)
