Personal opinion and conclusions :

the whole story and the events that Victor hugo put his attention on touch the reality . the
injustice exist .the poverty make people do things that in fact they didnt want to. Like the
women when she let her daughter between strangers hands. The greed and lies and no
marcy in that family make the story in a deeply way and make sees . In my opinion.i think
this one of the best novels ive been read before .
