Monseuir Madeleine

This is what I think Mounseuir Madeleine looked like in his very well dressed and generous attitude:

THREE IMPORTANT EVENTS:
1. When monsieur Madeleine became rich by just means and did not keep it all to himself but instead used it to help out the poor people of M- sur M-, and for this he was appointed mayor of this town.














2. Monsieur Madeleine than saved an old man by lifting a cart that was squishing the man's lungs to death. This made Javert question his identity to a point where he denounced him to the court and judges, and when they found out they had an innocent man being accused of being Jean Valjean.





3. Monsiuer Madeleine kills a part of his life when he denounces in the court that he is the real Jean Valjean. This drastically changes his life and the way people see him. He looses almost all that he had worked for and is forgoten by others.









ALTER EGO:



- Monsieur Madeleine is connected to one of Jean Valjeans alter egos because after what he realized that he had done to Petit Gervais, he metaphirically speaking kills Jean Valjean. He hides Valjean in the most darkest place of his consious and tries to repair the damage done by him. There is a time also when he has the power to revive him when he denounces his real name and kills a part of Monsieur the Mayor. They are one same person influenced by the subconsious of the bishop.

Jean Valjean


Jean Valjean spent nineteen years in prison, most of which where implied for trying to escape unsuccessfully. These nineteen years in prison made him appear to be something he depicted, he became a real prisoner and he was indoctrinated to act like one. http://pampasur.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/preso.jpg

The bishop gave Jean Valjean a plate of food and a decent room with a roof on top of his head and a very comfortable bed. Jean took advantage of his kindness and took some silver from the bishop´s house. After being caught and then forgiven, saved and even covered by the bishop Jean reflects on what has happened to his life, this is the main event that makes him change.


When he encounters himself with a little boy who sings for money he accidently robs the child’s 40 souls, by inadvertently stepping on the money and making the boy leave. When he realizes what he had done he starts to cry and understands what he has become and how he should change.





When he enters the town of M- sur M- he becomes a rich man by the name of Monsieur Madeleine, by his own means and is accredited for his many good deeds which involve helping the poor. He is elected to be mayor but refuses until an old poor woman insists on it for the good of the town.


When a man is found picking up a ram of apples he is convicted of robbery and said to be John Valjean, he is taken to jury, which Monsieur Madeleine attends to. Guided by the presence of the bishop he feels in his heart, before the man is convicted he admits to be Jean Valjean.
