THIS IS THE SURPRISE.
In "Les Misérables," Victor Hugo weaves a narrative that exposes the depths of human suffering and the potential for redemption. The story follows several characters, particularly Jean Valjean, whose transformation from a hardened ex-convict to a compassionate benefactor illustrates the theme of moral redemption amidst societal injustices. The novel captures the struggle for justice and the impact of love and sacrifice on personal growth.
The phrase "THIS IS THE SURPRISE" encapsulates the unexpected turns in the characters' journeys. Readers are often taken aback by the revelations of kindness and transformation in a world that is frequently harsh. Hugo emphasizes that within despair lies the potential for hope, urging us to look beyond the surface and find humanity in the most unlikely places.
