Figure Profile— Jean Valjean part 2

The First Attack, Bring Him Home & Finale— Complete Relief


 After the trial, Jean Valjean takes his flight and flees for freedom; over the years, he has been escaping Javert’s ceaseless hunt, whereas on the other hand endeavoring to form a stable living environment for his adopted daughter Cosette, which is free from hazard and fear, hoping that his beloved one can grow into wholeness and accompany him throughout his rest life. Nevertheless, there are several changes beyond expectation emerging in succession— the thrilling kidnap, Javert’s reappearance, and all the slight chaos leading to the substantial rebellion.

        Jean Valjean is stressed out, burdening great tension; he has once considered avoiding the entire potential crisis and escaping to England, but somehow he stays and joins in the crusade. In the revolution, Jean Valjean encounters his two greatest enemy, inspector Javert and Marius, Cosette’s lover— the one who attempts to deprive of his freedom and the one who intends to take his beloved one away from him. In both confrontations, Jean Valjean holds great dominance and could have killed them initially. However, after witnessing the sufferings of the wretched as well as experiencing a process of meditation, Jean Valjean decides to face his inner conflict, accept his past and present as well as the reality frankly, and finally chooses to forgive and let them be.


        Though it’s not quite happy in his remaining years, since that Marius totally has no idea that Jean Valjean saves him, and even suspects him as a murderer, he has retrieved his spirit from entire grief and misgiving; his soul is released from heavy burden. In the end, Jean Valjean grasps the essence of love and hope, and finally dies in peace.
