The novel is about the progressive redemption of former convict Jean Valjean, the miserable childhood of Cosette and her relationship with Marius, the sacrifices of Fantine, Théneardier and Javert. "I have just destroyed human fate", Hugo wrote, "I condemn slavery, I drive out misery, I teach ignorance, I treat disease, I make the night clear, I hate hatred. That is what I am and this is the reason why I have written Les Misérables".

- Les Miserables are a Forever Knight fan faction who see potential for a relationship between Nick Knight and Urs. So called because both of them are ridden with angst over being vampires.
- Jean Valjean was an illiterate tree-pruner and son of a tree-pruner from a small peasant family in Brie. Sluggish and insignificant in appearance, he was a man of enormous physical strength and agility. He was thoughtful but not gloomy position peculiar to affectionate natures. After both his parents had died, at age 25 he took his father’s place and he was left to care for his elder sister who had raised him, a widow with seven children aged one to eight. Often his sister took the meager food from his plate to feed the children. He possessed a gun and did a bit of poaching.

- Jean Valjean was an illiterate tree-pruner and son of a tree-pruner from a small peasant family in Brie. Sluggish and insignificant in appearance, he was a man of enormous physical strength and agility. He was thoughtful but not gloomy position peculiar to affectionate natures. After both his parents had died, at age 25 he took his father’s place and he was left to care for his elder sister who had raised him, a widow with seven children aged one to eight. Often his sister took the meager food from his plate to feed the children. He possessed a gun and did a bit of poaching. In the winter of 1795 he had no work and the family had no bread. He stole a loaf of bread, was arrested for breaking and entering and sentenced to five years hard labor in the galleys. This horrible punishment seems to have been common at the time. Hugo sites statistics that four out of five thefts in London at the time have hunger as their immediate cause. Only once after four years he received word about his sister and her children. She was living in Paris with the youngest boy working in a printing office while the child attended school. At the end of the fourth year his turn came to escape, but he was caught after two days and sentenced to an additional three years in prison. Again he tried and failed in the sixth year and his term was extended by another five years. In the 10th year and 16th years he attempted once more and his term was again extended by three years each time bringing it to a total of 19 years.
