This is an example of compassion because the bishop, without worrying, took in Jean Valjean and housed him, even without knowing him. True compassion had never shown its colors more clearly until this point.

Marius, who did not know his neighbors- or that he even had any, for that matter- readily payed for their residence in his miserable apartment building because he didn’t want them to suffer the cold bite of poverty, having known and suffered every second of it himself. This knowledge led to his compassion for his neighbors, which morally obligated him to pay for their rent.

“Jean Valjean took a knife out of his pocket, and opened it. … [Jean Valjean] cut the martingale which Javert had about his neck, then he cut the ropes which he had on his wrists, then, stooping down, he cut the cord which he had on his feet; and rising, he said to him: ‘You are free,’” (Hugo, 313).

Jean Valjean, with the opportunity to finally rid himself of the man who tormented him for an eternity, instead chose to free him out of compassion. Jean mercifully let Javert go, showing his true self- and even giving up his address so that Javert could finally complete his life mission (which was to capture Jean). This was the ultimate example of benevolence in the book.

Showing that, while he tries to live a good life, he is still always plagued by his past, Jean Valjean is doubting if he should turn himself in and return to the galleys to free an innocent man or save himself- but in doing so condemn another. It demonstrates inner conflict because you can clearly see he cannot decide what to do in these situation.

“To owe life to a malefactor, to accept that debt and to pay it… One thing had astonished him, that Jean Valjean had spared him, and one thing had petrified him, that he, Javert, had spared Jean Valjean. … Respect for a galley slave, can that be possible? He shuddered at it, yet he could not shake it off,” (Hugo, 335-36).

Javert was struggling quite a bit with the war going on inside his head. On the one hand, he was still an officer, and had an obligation to fulfill with his job; on the other hand, Jean Valjean had saved him, so Javert owed this man a life debt. It was for this incredible confusion that Javert grappled with that led him to the catharsis that bad men can be good. The turmoil caused by this realization is a perfect example of inner conflict.

Even though Cosette was but an infant, Fantine was willing to leave her with strangers for a chance of a better life instead of starvation with her mother. This shows that Fantine was ready to sacrifice anything for the happiness of her own daughter.

Marius was ready to die if Cosette was absent from his life. To him, his relationship with Cosette was the most important thing, and if it wasn’t there, then there would be no reason for him to live.

“You talk against me and tell me ‘answer!’ The gendarme, who is a good fellow, nudges my elbow, and whispers, ‘answer now.’ I can’t explain myself; I never studied; I am a poor man. You are all wrong to see that I didn’t steal,” (Hugo, 85).

This is an example of social injustice because the court refuses to take a poor, ignorant man’s word and instead believe the testimony of others (like Javert) because of his or her social standing.

Marius, who always believed women thought him ugly, was scared to talk to women. However, when he saw “Her” (Cosette, though he did not know her name), he instantly “fell in love,” but we both know all he had was something of a schoolboy crush on her. Infatuation can bear a heavy weight on the heart; it is not an indicator of true love or love at all, but he thought so, since it was his first time experiencing it.

Cosette was infatuated with Marius as he was with her with only a glance. This love they both immediately had for each other was a simple crush, but they both believed it was true love because it was their first time having a crush on anyone. Infatuation is not real love, but Marius and Cosette believed it was.
