I would describe the film to be displaying dynamic message as the story did not revolve around one setting‚ place‚ or one character such Jean Valjean (Prisoner 24601)‚ Marius Pontmercy‚ or even Cosette. The film showed an equal importance to the majority of the characters as each of the characters of Jean Valjean (Prisoner 24601)‚ Javert‚ Frantine‚ Marius‚ and Cosette

Upon examination of Les Miserables‚ it is clearly evident that the elements of Forgiveness‚ Self – Sacrifice‚ and Courage are only a few of the main themes Hugo wanted to develop. First off‚ is the element of forgiveness. In a book of mistrust‚ poverty‚ and hate…forgiveness thrives in the world of Les Miserables. The first example of this was at the very beginning‚ when Jean Valjean stayed with the bishop. Valjean
