The beginning of Les Misérables starts off telling us about a man named Monseigneur Myriel, who is the Bishop of Digne. As to be expected, he is a godly man who takes his role as Bishop very seriously. But even though the Bishop is a godly man who lives in the spirit, he is still a man who holds prejudices and biases like everyone else. We see this come to play when he has a conversation with a man who everyone ostracizes due to his involvement in The French Revolution. In the brief moments we see between the Bishop and the man who is referred to as simply “G” , we see that his morals and beliefs for participating in the overthrow of the monarchy came from the fact that the poor were being mistreated. He asks a brutal but very important question that even the Bishop couldn’t overlook which is: how can the mistreatment of the rich and powerful be more important than the mistreatment of the poor? Are they not both human deserving of rights and respect? I found their interaction to be extremely powerful, and it shows how much we judge people without really knowing more about them. This man had good justification for his involvement, yet everyone assumed that he was a bad man simply because he went against the norm. I’m very intrigued with this story already. I’m loving the dialogue and how Hugo is already making me think about things more in-depth! Stay tuned for more of my thoughts as I read Les Misérables by Victor Hugo by the end of the month! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 - - - - - #annotatedbooks #annotations #annotated #annotating #currentread #currentlyreading #darkacademia #darkacademiaaesthetic #penguinclassics #books #bookish #lesmiserables #victorhugo #classicbooks #classiclit #classicliterature #classicnovels #classicbooks #aesthetic #aestheticedits #bookishaesthetic

[#ad ] The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the most iconic and epic classics of all time. So of course when goldwyn films gave me the opportunity to watch an early screening of the new French-language adaptation (with subtitles) directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière, I couldn’t turn down the opportunity! Starring Pierre Niney as the titular character of Edmond Dantes, aka The Count of Monte Cristo, the film takes us on his epic journey of revenge and justice. The film keeps the essence of the Alexandre Dumas wonderful novel, but it also adds its own twist to major moments, sometimes trailing away from the accuracy of the story. However, even with the reimagined scenes, it was still so lovely to watch and deserved all 11 minutes of the standing ovation it received at the Cannes Film Festival! The movie will be released in theaters on January 3rd, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it! #Sponsored #TheCountofMonteCristo #alexandredumas #SamuelGoldwynFilms #classicliterature #classicbooks #classiclit #penguinclassics #annotations #annotating #bookrecommendations #booksbooksbooks #ilovebooks #BookTok #books #classiclittok
