It wa...Glad that you're enjoying your re-read!<br /><br />It was interesting that Hugo glossed over the not-so-humble beginning of M. Myriel. I guess his beginning wasn't really important but that his conversion to the faith was to such a degree - a complete transformation; from a life of ease to a very humble living. Perhaps he didn't want the readers to be sidetracked by M. Myriel's beginning and rather to focus on the point that kindness from one man may do the world a whole lot of good as we saw later on with Valjean.<br /><br />It is sad that women's conditions have not improved despite all the work that's been put into it. I don't suppose it will be fully 'fixed' in this broken world. Society as it is has a long way to go.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts, lovely post :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
