Question

What lesson did the bishop learn in the end

Answer 1

Explanation:

At the end of the story, the bishop initiates John Valjean’s spiritual renewal by saving Valjean from arrest and making him promise to live as an honest man. Even when Valjean, in a hasty and thoughtless act, steals the bishop’s silver in the night and is caught the next morning, the bishop gives him two more silver candlesticks. He asks Jean Valjean to use the precious silver to become an honest man. For all intents and purposes, Valjean is a sinner according to the law, and to some, it may seem absurd that he should be welcomed or helped. But in this act, the bishop gives Valjean another chance in the name of God. Hardened by prison and recused by the kindness of the Bishop, one can say that John Valjean becomes a new person and practices his newfound idealism and compassion. He learns how to love another person and how to pass that love onto others. Valjean is a blank slate, moulded by his encounters and circumstances. This ability to change makes him a universal symbol of hope—if he can learn love and charity after suffering so much injustice, anyone can.
