Analysis Of Les Miserables

The scene that I have chosen to apply my learning in this term to, as well as specifically analyze, is the 2012 Universal and Working Title Films production of the movie-musical Les Misérables, directed by Tom Hooper.

Valjean “did whatever he could find to do” to get by, and Fantine, likewise, found whatever job she could (19). Both Valjean and Fantine had not grown up with

In Les Miserables and The Kite Runner the relationship between a father and his child is crucial to their development and growth. But their child also has a great effect on their father.
