In the bright starry sky of world literature, French writer Victor Hugo's novel "Les Misérables" is like an eternal shining pearl, illuminating the depths of the human soul.Since its first publication in 1862, this work has become a classic of world literature with its profound themes, grand narrative and rich connotations.
《Les Misérables》is not only a grand poem recording history, but also an important imprint of the evolution of human civilization.In this work, Hugo used the French Revolution as the background, and by telling the intertwined fates of multiple characters, he showed the suffering and struggle of the people at the bottom of society, as well as the struggle and transformation of human nature in extreme environments.
In the book, the contradiction between legal justice and ethical justice, the conflict between orderly justice and right and wrong, good and evil, have become themes throughout.These seemingly opposing concepts have been deeply analyzed and discussed in Hugo's writings.Legal justice is an important means to maintain social order and fairness, but in some cases, it may conflict with ethical justice.When there is a conflict between law and morality, how should people choose?Hugo raised this profound moral torture to readers through the fateful choices of the characters.
Likewise, the conflict between order and justice and right and wrong, good and evil, is also Hugo's focus.In the process of pursuing social order, people may ignore individual rights and moral rights and wrongs.This conflict is deeply reflected in "Les Misérables", allowing readers to think more deeply about justice and good and evil.
In addition, Hugo also explored a series of important issues through the characters in the book, such as integrity and flexibility, human nature and system, the balance of interests, and the consideration of gains and losses.These issues have not only troubled mankind for nearly 200 years, but are also issues that everyone needs to face today.In a rapidly developing society, how do people maintain integrity while pursuing interests?How should people stick to their humanity when faced with the constraints of the system?These issues are vividly presented and discussed in depth in Les Misérables.
