ESSAY DU JEAN VALJEAN

   Jean Valjean is a dynamic character, He is a dynamic character because he changes through out the story. An example of this would be, when Jean Valjean was sentence to 19 years in prison, just because he stole a loaf of bread. Before Jean Valjean went to prison he was a hard working man. The worked at a young age, because his father and mother died when he was young. He was left with his sister who had a lot of kids and her husband had left her. Jean Valjean would work to feed his nephew and nieces. They would eat a lot which left jean Valjean little to eat this was the cause why he went to steal the loaf of bread. He stole it because he was hungry and there was no other way to get food. Jean Valjean got cough stealing the bread an was sent to prison. while in prison he had to do hard labor work and would rarely sleep and eat. He made some friends while in prison and tried to escape several times and this made his prison sentence longer. until came the day when he was set free. But they gave him a yellow passport in which it said that is is a "dangerous" man. When he got out of prison he was a changed man. He was a more rough person from what he was before he went to prison.

Another example of how Jean Valjean has change trough the story is when he got out of prison and was a consider a very "dangerous" person. The people of Digne wouldn't let him  stay in any of their homes. The bishop who was M. Myriel  knowing who he was, allowed Jean Valjean to stay at his house. The kind acts that the Bishop was doing for Jean started to get to him. When Jean took the silver from the bishop,while he was sleeping, After he was caught he told the police that the bishop had given him the silver and that he didn't steal from him but this was a lie. When the police took Jean Valjean to the bishops house and to give the silver back,  but the bishop did something Jean Valjean would have never thought he would do. The bishop told the police that he had in fact given Jean Valjean the silver, then he told the police to let Jean Valjean go and M.Myriel even gave his silver candle stick stand to Jean Valjean. After all that had happen Jean Valjean fled to another place where he stole 40 sous from a little boy, after he stole the forty sous the little boy Ran off crying for his money. When Jean Valean relized what he had done he started to look for the little boy to give his forty sous back. After Jean Valjean didn't find the little boy he started to cry. From then on he prayed for forgiveness and promised to be a changed man.
