Les Misérables is a Broadway musical and movie based on the book of the same name by Victor Hugo that was historically popular because it was supposed to be based on the French Revolution.

This is because he creates goodness within the characters by making them be forgiving‚ thankful‚ become morally righteous‚ and possess good intentions towards helping others therefore‚ Hugo’s message is to tell people that human nature is good but society is

    Throughout the whole plot of Les Miserables‚ Hugo develops a variety of themes: love‚ redemption‚ good and evil‚ charity‚ suffering‚ societal inequality‚ justice… All of them are tied together‚ and every theme has its significance for the novel. However‚ in my opinion‚ the theme of justice is central in the book.

    Movie Review I. Introduction Les Miserables‚ as a theatrical enterprise‚ was always about sweeping sentimentality and the grandiose 1862 Victor Hugo novel‚ which translates to‚ “The Victims‚” was never short on ennui either.
