The Lesson Of Les Miserables

This musical showed me the importance of fighting through the struggles in the life, no matter how hard, and to help others through theirs. The musical center's around Jean ValJean, a former slave for a petty crime he committed to save his family. After his 19 year sentence and he is freed, he is still cheated by all except for a bishop. Thanks to the bishop he finds hope and decides to rebuild his life and is determined to find a better one for himself. But he not only wishes to give himself a better road to walk on, but also wishes to help others find theirs, which I find very admirable. Fantine was the first one to show him that he should help others.After she was fired and forced to prostitution to help keep Cossette alive, which by the way is another example of perserverance through a struggle, he takes her and finds her a doctor. When she dies he promises to find Cosette and give her the life she deserves and has taken away. He also helps Javert, the man who has chased him and tried to kill him and helped Marius not only live, but live with his love, among others, as much as he could. This musical has shown me the importance of finding happiness and helping others find that path too.
