    Jean Valjeans is an ex-convinct who is struggling to redeem himself morally and gains acceptance from the human society who had branded and rejected him as a social outcast and put him in the bottom of the social hierarchy. It was the meeting with the Bishop of Digne, who accepts him for who is are and gives him a helping hand regardless of his criminal past that engulfs his entire life, even though he had tried to steal something from his household one day,  learning the lesson of unconditional love that gives him a reason for living throughout this troubled times and suffered through all those trials and temptations that he had to face- the obstacle towards his success.
