#les mis rambles

Love Valjean, even more than the first time. He spends his life trying to be a better person and to make up for his sins. And even given 19 years of horrible conditions and unjust punishment and then prejudice even after that, he managed to turn his life around and do the right thing, and live an honourable life, and love again.

Javert, idk, he's a very good character, but kind of in the same way that Snape is? I love him for the role he plays in the story and find him very interesting, but I can't like him. It's kind of sad, because he's so scared of being wrong and having to change his worldview that he'd rather die. But I can't like or even really respect someone who refuses to admit or accept their wrongdoings, doesn't think for themselves, and doesn't try to become a better person. 

I care more about what you're trying to do to make the world and yourself better, than what you have done in the past. (That's still important, but just less so? Although like if you're Hannibal Lecter I don't even care I hate you full stop get away from Will Graham you dickbag)
