Javert treats him like this for the rest of his life, no matter the good he does. Javert feels like it’s his duty to obey and enforce the law and he will go to whatever lengths to pursue that. “His mental attitude was compounded of two very simple principles, admirable in themselves but which, by carrying them to extremes, he made almost evil – respect for authority and hatred of revolt against it.” stated by Hugo to describe Javert’s black and white way of thinking.

Redemption is limited to the gravity of a situation and if a person is willing to accept their mistakes and atone for them. Colum McCann stated he does not “believe the world’s a particularly beautiful place” but he does “believe in redemption”, and no matter what conflicts may arise, McCann believes that redemption can be achieved in a place full of catastrophe. Redemption is a process that requires exertion from both the transgressor(s) and the victim(s). Most times people, specifically the transgressors, do not know that redemption is possible up to a certain point where mistakes remain permanent.

You see, it takes God coming down into the sin and rescuing Man to give him any further chance at advancement in holiness. Jean Valjean demonstrates this by venturing into the Red-light District and literally carrying Fantine out of the squalor of deception and depression. The entire sequence speaks directly to the soul. Who has not sold their dignity for a few mean spirited laughs, only to be deprived of sleep later that night? The destruction of God’s world and its half-hearted satanic replacement is described in ‘I Dreamed a Dream.” As described earlier, salvation does come for Fantine but too late for her to enjoy the complete richness of this

Others believe you have one chance to get it right, these people are often angry and judgmental. There are also those who believe that someone can't be redeemed, but begin to realize that people can change. By looking at the Bishop, Javert, and Jean Valjean and their actions it becomes clear that Les Miserables is a book about redemption coming to those who did wrongs in their past and the behaviors of those who believe and don't believe.
