Why Is Hugo Cabret Broken

He was not very intelligent, sophisticated, or educated, but he did have a troubled past at the hospital and with the voices and hallucinations. His struggle with emotional conflict is the fight of whether or not he should tell his parents about the hallucinations. He wants to tell them to relieve the load off his chest, but by doing so, he might be sent back to the hospital, where he experienced horrible

Victor Hugo fills his pages of Les Miserables with dramatic, yet quirky, characters who each have their own complex separate lives but are all connected in one way or another. The author’s metaphors most commonly include a character’s comparison to an animal which aids the reader in understanding the intensity of the character’s traits.  Hugo uses many metaphors to draw out the complex and unique personalities of his characters with Jean Valjean being described as an owl, Thenardier as a boa constrictor, and Javert as a tiger as well as a silent hound.

He was used to live in his brother’s shadow, but when the boat accident happened to them, he was the only one to survive. As he was always indentifying himself the less important one, he considered it was wrong that he was the one who would still have a life. As a result of nervous breakdown, he tried to kill himself with cutting his wrists in the bathroom, fortunately his father found out and save him. Then he went to the psychiatric for four months. When he comes back, there are still issues he needs to deal with.

At the beginning of the book, Montag makes a friendship with his seventeen year old neighbor, Clarisse. Soon, he realizes he is unhappy and no longer loves her. He also begins to question the ways of the world. For example, he wonders why books are aware to be so dangerous and why some people are so loyal to them. Montag lost his mind, job, and family. He also finds himself running away from everything he knows. Even when Montag meets Clarisse, Montag wasn’t a normal guy. Through most of the book Montag lacks knowledge and believes what he hear.

As Montag continued on his journey to a new him, different people changed him in very different ways. Without the help of those three individuals who knows where Montag would have ended up. Montag is now aware of who he really is and what he is supposed to do through this series of internal changes. First, the old lady gives Montag sympathy, compassion, and guilt. Then Faber helps him find the true meaning in books. Last, Clarisse makes Montag find his true self and lets that person come through. Reflecting on

The speaker uses words such as “louring” (line 2), “deep deceit” (line 8), “grievous” (line 11) and “bale” (line 140. All of these words have sorrowful and despairing meanings to them which gives the whole poem an unhappy tone. The third and fourth lines discus that the speaker cannot even look at the beautiful face, which appears to grow more attractive daily, of the woman he loves. Moreover, the couplet tells the readers that the sorrow in the speaker’s eyes is there because of the pain he has felt due to his faulty relationship. The mouse that “lies aloof for fear of more mishap” (line 7) shows the misery felt by the speaker by using the words “aloof” and “mishap”. “Aloof” means to be stand-offish or reserved, which the speaker is because if he gets too close, he will be hurt again. “Mishap” means disaster or unfortune which altogether sounds miserable. Had the speaker used diction that was lighter or less depressed, the reader truly would not understand the misery the speaker has went through. The miserable diction depicts the deep wounds the speaker received from his love, shedding light to how much he really loved her and how bad she really hurt

This opens his eyes not to see but to realize he was blind. His realizations of the unknown leave him often offended and frustrated which is common throughout the novel. Ignorance and change seem to be the two prominent themes that drives Montag throughout this storyline.

Sacrifice is seen throughout the Les Miserables, because it is a prominent part of human living. Sacrifice is greater in those who have less. Hugo conveys sacrifice through the characters Jean Valjean and Fantine, showing how they sacrificed in order to gain a better life, self-forgiveness

In order to find out the role of magic in character development of Howl’s Moving Castle novel, this study will use descriptive qualitative approach. This method is chosen since the collected data will be processed to derive meanings in the form of narrative rather than numbers. Moreover, according to Patton (2012), descriptive qualitative approach aims to learn how people behave in society, for instance how people think, behave, and feel at a certain time. Hence, this method is appropriate to be applied in this study as this study explores how the characters behave in society, specifically before and after getting magic power.

He know understand the troubles he had put on his family and the results of it, such as his constant need to point out Margot as his “adopted daughter” and the result of her feeling secluded from the family. Knowing this, he feels guilt and wishes to actually make things

Hugo is saying that human nature is basically good. An example of this being proved is on page 362, “‘From what motive, indeed, does this convict come and say: I am a convict? Well yes! the motive is strange. It is from honor.’” When Marius married Cosette, Jean Valjean didn’t have to tell Marius the truth about who he was. He could have easily continued to let Marius believe he was Monsieur Fauchelevent, lived happily in Marius’ household without having to ever mutter the name Jean Valjean. But he knew it wouldn’t be right to do that so he couldn’t. Even though he had to give up the ideal life, Jean Valjean came clean about his past because that’s what he believed was the right thing to do. Telling the truth came with very harsh consequences and Jean Valjean did it willingly. No one was forcing him to tell Marius about his past, nobody suspected him of being anything less than Cosette’s father, everyone in the household respected and loved him. Jean Valjean didn’t want to deceive Marius and lie to him so he had

In the film, there isn’t one single recognizable source of narration. The narration is from an outside perspective, the story not being told by any of the characters in the film. This is done in a way that shifts from Hugo to Isabelle to Georges—giving insight on each of the characters’ internal thoughts and feelings. Based on Aristotle’s poetics, the plot of the story can be broken into several elements. The hero is Hugo, a young boy living in poverty in the early twentieth century. His life has been very rough, many of his family members dying and leaving him alone in the world. This is Hugo’s weakness, that he has nobody. His loneliness is one of the biggest flaws in his character, because in his situation it makes him very vulnerable. Being a young boy living in the walls of a train station is very dangerous, and the fact that he has nobody that would be concerned if something were to happen to him makes it worse. Before he meets Isabelle, his life consisted

Dating all the way back to Ancient Roman times, organized firefighting has always been a necessary part of civilization. For thousands of years, the sole purpose of a firefighter has been to extinguish fires. However, this is not the case in the novel Fahrenheit 451. This timeless classic written by Ray Bradbury is the story of a futuristic society in which books are burned by firemen as a means of censoring intelligence. Guy Montag, the novel's protagonist, is an unassuming third-generation fireman who takes pride in his book-burning job.

Generally, authors compose books that go along with the morals of the audience. So many stories are written today with the typical love story, girl falls in love with guy or vice versa. Others are action packed with a climax and a predictable ending. Victor Hugo took a different stance while writing his book Les Miserables. Hugo's idea of action is presented through Jean Valjean who is held in prison for four years because he stole a loaf of bread. He includes unique love stories unlike the typical ones that we read about. Hugo's main purpose is to challenge people to consider their morals on forgiveness and love.

Victor Hugo’s works discuss many themes; forgiveness and compassion, justice, and the need for political change, among many others, and much of the time, adhering to these themes take precedence over obeying the law. Hugo was elected to the Parliament in 1848 as a conservative, yet when he started making progressive speeches, was forced to break with the conservatives. It was when Napoleon III came into power that Hugo stood up for his views, declaring Napoleon III a traitor to France, and was exiled from France for nineteen years for this. Hugo’s sense of morality defied law; he refused to obey and paid the price for it. Hugo continued to publish novels and anti-Napoleon III material while he was in exile in Guernsey. Some of Hugo’s most powerful
