Hugo's immortal work

Re-reading "Les Miserables", I feel that the masterpiece is a masterpiece. As we grow older, we do see many different connotations. For example, the work depicts the conflict between the natural law school and the positive law school, such as the exploration of human nature (including the confrontation between Jean Valjean and Javert). Criminal law issues such as the reform of criminals and the sentencing of crimes are also involved. The internal contradictions of the nation during the French Revolution, the society's attitude towards illegitimate children, the connotation of human nature, and so on.

Bishop: Now don't forget, don't ever forget, you've promised to become a new man.
Jean Valjean: Promise? Wha, why are you doing this?
Bishop: Jean Valjean, my brother, you no longer belong to evil. With this silver, I have bought your soul. I've ransomed you from fear and hatred, and now I give you back to God.

Marius: If we can't win today, then none of us have a future.
Jean Valjean: You have love. That's the only future God gives us.
