Introduction
Les Misérables centres on the character Jean
Valjean, an ex-convict in 19th-century France. The
story spans many years as it tells of Valjean's release
from prison and reformation as an industrialist while
being constantly pursued by the morally strict
inspector Javert.
Stephany
Victor Hugo Biography And Background
Victor Hugo was born in 1802 in the
French town of Besançon. His father was
a general in Napoléon’s army, and much
of his childhood was therefore spent amid
the backdrop of Napoléon’s campaigns in
Spain and in Italy. At the age of eleven,
Hugo returned to live with his mother in
Paris, where he became infatuated with
books and literature. By the time he was
fifteen, he had already submitted one
poem to a contest sponsored by the
prestigious French Academy.
Stepahany
Historical Context
Les Misérables was written during a century of
massive social upheaval in France. The
Revolution of 1789, and subsequent uprisings in
1830 and 1848, saw the country go from monarchy
to republic to empire and back again several times.

All
Symbols In The Story
Why is Cosette the symbol of Les
Misérables?
Cosette may also be seen as a
symbol of hope in the world of
Les Misérables, representing
the rise of the oppressed and
abused from darkness to a
bright future.
Myriel's Silver Candlesticks
Myriel's candlesticks are the most
prominent symbol of compassion
in Les Misérables, and they shed a
light that always brings love and
hope.
Keilyn
Why Should We Read Literature ?
Keilyn
Victor Hugo’s masterpiece Les
Misérables comes to television in a six-part
adaptation by multi award-winning
screenwriter Andrew Davies.
Dominic West stars as fugitive Jean Valjean,
with David Oyelowo as his pursuer Inspector
Javert and Lily Collins as the luckless single
mother Fantine. Love, death, and the
struggle for social justice in early 19th-
century France feature in this beautifully
faithful retelling of one of the world’s most
beloved stories.

Fransua
Conclusion
Les Misérables ends with Jean
Valjean's reconciliation with
Cosette and her new husband
Marius and Valjean's subsequent
death. He manages to tell Cosette
about his past as a convict, and
receives her forgiveness. He also
tells her the story of her mother,
Fantine, and of how he adopted her
from the Thénardiers.
Lindsay
Message
Les Misérables is a show about courage, love, heartbreak,
passion, and the resilience of the human spirit—
themes which undoubtedly transcend time and place.
Perhaps the most relevant themes, however, are related
to the dignity of the human person.
