Scenes Dear To Me

The scenes in this musical that stood out to me were the beginning where Jean ValJean leaves the church noticing the wrong he has done to the bishop, when ValJean promises to find Cosette to Fantine. The scene with the Thenardier's song, where they steal from everyone who enters their building, and the scene where Valjean fights with Javert to get Marius to a doctor. The reason that ValJean realizing his wrongdoings stands out to me is because its the moment he realizes that he isn't going anywhere and that he needs to do something to better himself, its a moment of self reflection and improvement. When he promises to find Cosette for Fantine its a scene where he starts to help not only himself but others. The reason that the Thenardier's shenanigans stand out to me is that it shows the bad in the world, the kind of people who use others for whatever they please. The reason that Javert letting Jean ValJean take Marius to a doctor stands out to me is because before he lets him go Valjean doesn't give up and still stands his ground to Javert. These scenes all stand out to me because they all build upon what the musical meant to me, standing up to find a better path for others and yourself.
