Answer:

Jean Valjean, after spending nineteen years in jail and in the galleys for stealing a loaf of

bread to feed his starving family (and for several attempts to escape) is finally released, but his

past keeps haunting him. At Digne, he is repeatedly refused shelter for the night. Only the

saintly bishop, Monseigneur Myriel, welcomes him. Valjean repays his host's hospitality by

stealing his silverware. When the police bring him back, the bishop protects his errant guest by

pretending that the silverware is a gift. With a pious lie, he convinces them that the convict has

promised to reform. After one more theft, Jean Valjean does indeed repent. Under the name of

M. Madeleine he starts a factory and brings prosperity to the town of Montreuil.

Alone and burdened with an illegitimate child, Fantine is on the way back to her

hometown of Montreuil, to find a job. On the road, she entrusts her daughter to an innkeeper

and his wife, the Thénardiers. In Montreuil, Fantine finds a job in Madeleine's (Valjean’s) factory

and attains a modicum of prosperity. Unfortunately she is fired after it is discovered that she has

an illegitimate child. At the same time, she must meet increasing financial demands by the

Thénardiers. Defeated by her difficulties, Fantine turns to prostitution. Tormented by a local

idler, she causes a disturbance and is arrested by Inspector Javert. Only Madeleine's (Valjean’s)

forceful intervention keeps her out of jail. She catches a fever, however, and her health

deteriorates dangerously. Death is imminent and M. Madeleine (Valjean) promises to bring her

daughter, Cosette, to her.

Madeleine (Valjean), however, is faced with serious problems. A man has been arrested

as Jean Valjean and is about to be mistakenly condemned for Valjean’s crimes. After a night of

agonizing moral conflict between saving the innocent man and depriving the townspeople who

rely on his prosperity and kindness, Madeleine (Valjean) decides to confess his past. At Arras,

the seat of the trial, he dramatically exonerates the accused. A few days later, he is arrested by

Javert at Fantine's bedside. The shocking scene kills the young woman.

That same night Valjean escapes, but he is quickly recaptured and sent to Toulon, a

military port. One day he saves a sailor about to fall from the rigging. He plunges into the sea

and manages to escape by establishing the belief that he has drowned. He uses his precarious

freedom to go to Montfermeil, the location of the Thénardiers' inn, where the the now-deceased

worker Fantine’s daughter Cosette is being kept. After burying his money in the woods, he frees

Cosette from the Thénardiers' abominable guardianship and takes her into Paris.

In Paris, he lives like a recluse in a dilapidated tenement, the Gorbeau House, in an

outlying district. In spite of his precautions, however, Javert manages to track him down. Valjean

is forced to flee abruptly. After a hectic chase and imminent capture, he finds a miraculous

refuge in a convent. With the cooperation of the gardener, Fauchelevent, a man whom Valjean

had once saved from the wreckage of a horse cart, Valjean persuades the prioress to take him on

as assistant gardener and to enroll Cosette as a pupil. Valjean and Cosette spend several happy

years in the isolation of the convent.

Marius is a seventeen-year-old who lives with his grandfather, M. Gillenormand, a relic of

the Old Regime. In a nearby town, Georges Pontmercy, Marius' father, a hero of the Napoleonic

wars, lives in retirement. M. Gillenormand, by threatening to disinherit Marius, has forced

Georges Pontmercy to relinquish custody of his son. He has completed the estrangement by

communicating his aversion for Pontmercy to Marius. Consequently, the young man reacts

almost impassively to his father's death. A fortuitous conversation reveals to Marius the depths

of his father's love for him, and indignant at his grandfather's deception, he leaves home.

He takes refuge in the Latin Quarter and falls in with a group of radical students, the

Friends of the A.B.C. Marius, who under his father's posthumous influence has just switched his

allegiance from the monarchy to Napoleon, falls into a state of intellectual bewilderment. Material

difficulties increase his unhappiness. Finally he manages to create a tolerable existence by

finding a modest job, living frugally, and withdrawing into his inner dreams.

His peace is shattered when he falls passionately in love with a beautiful young girl in the

Luxembourg Gardens. She is Jean Valjean's ward, Cosette. Too timid for bold actions, he courts

her silently. He quizzes the doorman where the girl lives and a week later she moves without

leaving an address. For a long time Marius is unable to find a clue to his sweetheart's
