Jean Valjean‚ a criminal‚ that will always be known as a criminal. Although he shouldn’t deserve that name for himself because in reality he was just a man who wasn’t self-centered. Jean Valjean‚ after being let out of prison‚ though he was free but in reality he just manages to get back into a world filled of hate for convicts.
