“... and exclaimed, ' What a wreck I am!'... He beheld his life, and it seemed to him horrible; his soul, and it seemed to him frightful. There was, however, a softened light upon that life and upon that soul. It seemed to him that he was looking upon Satan by the light of Paradise.” (Page #38)

Jean Valjean made it very clear that he felt regret for the mistakes he had made in the past, and the author described the feeling of enlightenment that passed over him as he realized it.

“...'Monsieur,' said he, 'I cannot receive you'... The good inn was closed against him: he sought some humble tavern, some poor cellar... 'And we turn you out of this'...” (Page# 4 - 10)

Jean Valjean had society's back turn on him and was completely abandoned. Every door he walked up to was slammed in his face and he was judged for every single mistake he had made in the past.

" But he was not closing it, great God! he was reopening it by committing an infamous act! for he became a robber again, and the most odious robbers! he robbed another of his existence, his life, his peace, his place in the world..." ( Page #74)

Monsieur Madeleine was feeling guilty because thanks to him and his dishonesty about his origin, an innocent man, was being judged and wrongly accused.

" Fantine shivered... 'Sister, tell me, where is Cosette?'... Fantine started upright, supporting herself by her rigid arms and hands; she looked at Jean Valjean, then at Javert, and then at the nun..." (Page #103)

Fantine's death was a perfect example of how disappointment and let-down can make a person suffer much more than if they knew the truth about their situation.

"... the ideas and opinions which formed, so to say, the air he breathed, he came little by little to think of his father only with shame and with a closed heart. " (page #162)
" He had thought of everything but this, that a might come when he would have to see his father. Nothing could have been more unlooked for, more surprising, and, we must say, more disagreeable. It was aversion compelled to intimacy. It was not chagrin; no, it was pure drudgery." (page #164)

Marius is a very prideful character. He refused to see his father, even though they hadn't seen each other in a long time, until he realized how foolish he was acting; the problem was that then he got what he deserved, and felt sorry for neglecting his father for so many years."

" He had but just died... The son also had come too late... At the same time he felt something like remorse, and he despised himself for acting thus. " (Page #166) 

After the death of his father, and without having spoken to him for so long, Marius felt remorse and repentance, which is something you would expect from a person who had never acknowledged his father. Every person knows how important a parent is, and though he had abandoned Marius when he was little, he deserved to feel as he did after his father died.
