Date a dragon who validates your gender

Okay! Sorry for the wait! (I was gonna do this last night, but I didn’t realize when I said that that The Iceman Cometh wasn’t going to end until midnight.) All non-French-reading people, here’s the angrymaking thing you didn’t understand.

The whole book is nuts, and Rous says plenty of awful things about Les Mis that are not personal insults to Valjean, but I thought I would just share some highlights for sanity’s sake. I will also keep the gifs in, for the same reason.

Now, dear reader, would you like to know who took in the child of the wretched Fantine, and who will be her adoptive father? It is the dark hero of this dark story, the convict for whom you are supposed to have sympathy, the man who has been beneath the sun of the bagne, and for whom the author has the audacity to claim not only rehabilitation but a place among us, on the same level as us. Jean Valjean is presented to us as a righter of wrongs, as the victim of blind legislation, as the avenger of our social injustices!

And the transfiguration of Jean Valjean is complete!

And that is the last word of Mr. Victor Hugo; for Jean Valjean is no longer a convict.

He’s no longer even a man, this archangel, this avenger, casting his anathema upon poor dazzled Javert, who takes refuge in suicide so as not to hear the voice of  gratitude that would make him fail in his duties for the first time, and would make him guilty in his own eyes.

Thus Javert ends with a crime a life that was nothing but devotion and self-sacrifice!

Are we to take this philanthropic galley-slave seriously, when we have seen him take off his green cap only to wrap himself in the magistrate’s scarf? (T/N: Jesus Christ, that’s not even the correct sequence of events you heinous prig bastard! Valjean wore the bonnet vert of a lifer AFTER being mayor! You know, the whole thing where he had to give up said scarf in order to save Champathieu from said bonnet?)

The apotheosis of Jean Valjean is the greatest insult that has ever been made to society.

Wash ourselves of this mud as we might, we will have been no less sullied by it.

A hideous sort, of a depravity stemming from the most profound immorality, Jean Valjean shakes the folds of his coat upon all of us whom he scorns.

For we who have smote him with the weapons of our justice, he has nothing but curses.

And there you have it! Weren’t you happier when you couldn’t understand it?
