In 1804, a character named M. Myriel served as the Cure of Brignolles, a small town. He was an elderly man who led a quiet and secluded life. His advanced age suggests a depth of experience and wisdom, influencing his interactions with others.

Victor Hugo presents Myriel as a figure of solace and reflection, living minimally. This lifestyle highlights the themes of humility and spiritual contemplation that permeate the narrative of "Les Misérables," illustrating how one's character can shine through simple living.

And confronting these men, wild and terrible as we agree that they were, there were men of quite another kind, smiling and adorned with ribbons and stars, silk stockinged, yellow gloved and with polished boots; men who insisted on the preservation of the past, of the Middle Ages, of divine right, of bigotry, ignorance, enslavement, the death penalty and war, and who, talking in polished undertones, glorified the sword and the executioners' block. For our part, if we had to choose between the barbarians of civilization and those civilized upholders of barbarism we would choose the former. — Victor Hugo Les Miserables
