and punish all criminals. Javert’s commitment to his goal led to his cruel hunt of Jean Valjean and his later suicide. His obsession with his goal also had an extensive influence on the theme of the novel. Javert’s goal thus shaped Hugo’s Les Misérables in both plot and meaning. Javert’s narrow-sighted goal compelled him to hound Valjean. His firm belief in absolutes caused his eyes to see only a criminal in Valjean. Therefore‚ Javert was unable to comprehend Valjean’s true soft‚ affectionate nature
