It is my understanding that Javert killed himself because he was too proud to accept the grace offered to him by Valjean when he saved his life. Les Mis is all about mercy and two different reactions to it. When Valjean is given undeserved mercy by the bishop, he accepts it, repents and reforms his life. When Javert is given undeserved mercy by Valjean, he is too proud to accept it and would rather die than accept grace.

You are correct in a way - but also the mercy shown to him by Valjean, a criminal that he had pursued for such a long time, was so disruptive to his black and white world that he cannot deal with it at that time and chose to kill himself instead.

No, that’s not it. When Valjean saved Javert, he opened up two paths for him. One of justice, the way of the law, and one of mercy, the way of God. He refused to choose between them, because no matter which one he chose, he would be committing a great sin against the other.

Someone once said something fascinating about Javert - Javert is portrayed as your run of the mill black and white interpretation of law enforcement - he did everything to the book - He literally malfunctioned and realised all these years of arresting and imprisoning people - and destroying so many lives under such a ruthless mind set was too much for him to handle! Valjean only stole some bred and silverware to make his and his famillies life easier! Javert literally destroyed stole peoples lives - no doubt directly giving instructions and or preparing cases to have them hung or guillotined - When he finally woke up and realised what the grace of god was about he was in his mind far too gone!

One of my favorite books. If you're intimidated by its length, or were put off by the most popular adaptation being a stage musical that veers toward pop opera, just give it 100 pages. This book demands your time, but it gives back far much more than it takes. The best French novel ever written, and second place isn't even close.

the answer is a bit more complicated. Marius was a profond Republican, he was an idealist, a nobleman who lived in the popular districts of Paris, among the poor, and he considered the "Bagne" (a specific type of prison, like the hardcore mode of Alcatraz, where Valjean spent 14 years of his life) as inhumane. So when Valjean told him he came from the bagne, Marius actually understood Valjean, knowing that it was society's fault for not leaving him a chance, and said he could stay as much as he wants here in his house. But Valjean didn't want to be near Cosette and Marius after these two got married, as he feared he might hinder their happiness with all his "dirt". But he knew he didn't have the strength to stay away from Cosette by himself. So he made sure that Marius would not know it was him who saved him and told him it was Javert. But since that didn't work either, he lied to him and said that he loved (not in the father way) Cosette as well. Marius, being disgusted by Valjean asked him to leave and to never see Cosette again. Valjean, knowing that he could therefore not interrupt Cosette and Marius's futur and happiness ever again, stayed away as much as he could. But without Cosette, he slowly withered away. Not having anything to live for, he died the night when Marius and Cosette came in a rush to visit him. And it was Marius who asked Valjean's forgiveness, even thought Valjean told him there was nothing to forgive him about.

interesting but ultimately useless facts abt Les Mis not covered in this video (SPOILERS) -Myriel the Bishop was from an aristocracy family, and the only luxury he kept from that were his silvers, making his deal with valjean even more "WOOOOOW" -Thernardier dad robbed marius' dad while stealing from the pile of dead and injured right after the Waterloo Battle, thus accidentally saving his life -Valjean gets to be in the convent because he helps the nuns with the secret burial of their main priestess inside the church walls, and for that plan to work he's temporally buried alive -Marius was raised by his king-supported burgeois granddad, and discovers that his poor, broke, Napoleon-loving dad was forbidden from seeing him, goes MAD AS FUCK, goes to live alone with 0 money and becomes a Napoleon supporter, only to be mocked by his republican revolutionary buddies -Gavroche adopts two poor kids whose family abandoned them; those two kids were Thernardier's sons (LIKE GAVROCHE), whom were paid by Marius' relatives to pose as some people's kids, who died young. the woman who took care of them dies and they are found by their brother unknowingly -cosette is a 19th century lil' fashion genius -marius finds valjeans handkerchief, thinks its cosettes, and lovingly holds onto it like a huge dork (he may have jerked off to it) -javert does a gigantic list of things that should be better about police work and mails it before he kills himself

I love Les Mis'. You pulled this one off well, yet again. It was also a tall order to put in every important detail in such a short amount of time. You even shed some light on things I never would have thought about the message of the story. The only things which I wish could have been expounded on more are the most heart wrenching parts of the story for me: Gavroche's death, and the cold moral conflict that Javert went through.

She's pretty minor... if you ctrl-f for her name, you get fewer results than for Combeferre, who (though I love him) isn't considered by anyone to be a crucial character. She is a good representation of the message of the book, but the point made with her is just as well made with Fantine; Eponine just reiterates it. Also, I was mostly just worried that he would focus on her being "in love" with Marius... I'd much rather have her not be mentioned than be mischaracterized (like in the musical!).

Well, I've just discovered this series and I have to say I'm amazed by it. So, I figured I could drop in a suggestion on one of my personal favourites, I'd be curious to hear the analyzis on it. The book is called Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse. I think I spotted a Thug Notes on Siddharta but I didn't see Steppenwolf on the list. Thanks for the series and I hope you'll keep on making these vids all through 2016 as well!

"Just crawls into bed"?! Read chapter 275 again, It's only 2 pages long. He walks every day between his lodgings and the house where Cosette and Marius live, never going in and each day as he walks to her home he stops and turns back just a little shorter of his destination "He seemed like a clock which was not wound up, and whose oscillations grow shorter and shorter till they stop." When Marius and Cosette come to see him the doctor visits while they are there. He notices a marked improvement in his patient "'Ah, it was you that he wanted,' he said, looking at Marius and Cosette. And bending down in Marius' ear he whispered,-'Too late.'" (ch279)

Did I say something wrong? Did I say something racist?If so, why is it important to know why?
