Re-read Victor Hugo's Les Misérables: Explore the struggle between a dark society and the fate of the people at the bottom
In Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, we are transported into a French society full of darkness and despair, a world where the fate of the people at the bottom is struggling. This work is not only a novel, but also a real and profound historical and social picture, depicting the difficulties and challenges of French society in the 19th century.
At the beginning of the story, we witness the protagonist Jean Argent being sentenced to hard labor for stealing, and his experience of being sentenced to an increased sentence for escaping from prison. This series of unfortunate events outlines the difficult survival situation faced by the people at the bottom of French society at that time. In this cruel and unjust society, the people at the bottom cannot escape the shackles of fate and live in poverty and oppression.
However, it is in this dark environment that we see the indomitable spirit and dedication to life of the protagonist Jean Agen. Despite all the hardships and setbacks he went through, he never gave up on his quest for a better life. His story tells us that even in the abyss of despair, we can find the light of hope, and as long as we persevere and work hard, we will be able to change our destiny and realize our dreams.
Intertwined with the story of Jean Argent is the fate of Fantine and Cosette. As a low-level female worker, Fantine was deceived by a love liar and finally gave birth to Cosette alone. This story makes us deeply feel the helplessness and misery of women at the bottom of society. At that time, the status of women was low, and they often became a vulnerable group in society, suffering from all kinds of unfair treatment and oppression. However, it is in this environment that Fantine shows the greatness and strength of a mother's love, and she will do everything to protect her children, and this great love is moving.
In Les Misérables, Hugo not only depicts the struggle of the people at the bottom, but also profoundly reflects the problems of French society at that time. French society under authoritarian rule was full of injustice and corruption, and the people at the bottom were exploited and oppressed, living in extreme poverty and misery. In the face of such a social reality, Hugo shows readers his deep thinking and care for society through his novels.
However, despite the dark side of society presented in the work, Hugo did not lose faith in the future. Through the struggle and struggle of the protagonist Jean Argent, and the greatness of Fantine's maternal love, Hugo conveys to us a kind of hope and strength, even in the darkest moments, to persist in the pursuit of beauty and believe in the future.
To sum up, "Les Miserables" is not only a literary work, but also a profound reflection on human nature and society. Through the depiction of the fate of the people at the bottom, Hugo calls on people to pay attention to social injustice and inequality, and arouses people's yearning and pursuit of a better life. This work still has far-reaching significance, and it is a classic that deserves our in-depth reading and reflection again.
