But i am dying with hunger. I have walked since sunrise; I have travelled twelve leagues(Page.6) 

He is exhausted, tired, unhappy, uncomfortable since he could not stop in any inn and he was very hungry and tired.

“I am glad to see ou. But! I gave you he candlesticks also, which are silver like the rest, and would bring two hundred francs”……”That it had been given him by a good old priest with whom he had passed the night….it's all a mistake”....”He went to the mantelpiece,took two candlesticks and brought them to Jean Valjean.” Pgs. 32/33

Another important theme is generosity since The bishop knowing that Jean Valjean had robbed the candlesticks and the silver, he lied to the police that he had given them as a present. He was very generous since he gave lots of silver to a man he barely knew. This theme is very important in the first chapters of the book.

“My son has not come! I am going to meet him! Then he had gone out of his room and fallen upon the floor of the hall. He had but just died…..”Marius looked upon the his man,whom he saw for the first time and for the last–this venerable and manly face…..he thought that this man was his father and that this man was dead, and he remained unmoved. At the same time he felt something like remorse,and he despised himself for acting thus.”

He was regretting that he never met his father and that he got late to the hospital. He felt he did not love him even though he was his father. Marius saw the face of his father dead and never met him alive.

Marius was now looking fine-looking young man, of medium height, with heavy jet black hair, a high intelligent brow, large and passionate nostrils, a frank and calm expression, and an indescribable something beaming from every feature, which was at once lofty, thoughtful and innocent. …..”At the time of his most wretched poverty, he noticed that girls turned passed, and with a deathly feeling in his heart he fled or hid himself. He thought they looked at him on account of his clothes, and that they were laughing at him; the truth is that they looked at him because of his graceful appearance, and that they dreamed over it.”

He was very ignorant when it comes to women as you can see in this passage. He thought they were talking or laughing about him even though he was looking good. He knows little about women and he is even in love of Cossette.

“Come closer,come closer, both of you. I love you dearly.Oh! It is good to die so! You too, you love me, my cosette. I knew very well that you still had some affection for your old Goodman. How kind you are the put this cushion under my back! You will weep for me a little, will you not? Not too much…….You too monsieur pontmercy. I must confess to you that I have not always loved you;I ask your pardon. (Pages 397-398)

As you can see in this passage you can see the last love presented by Jean Valjean to cosette and asks Marius his pardon since he confesses he did not love him until he was showing his love to his daughter.
