All he saw was “there in the street, society represented by a property holder and an elector, insulted and attacked by a creature who was an outlaw and an outcast.” He’d…

Journal 1: [Valjean] strained his eyes in the distance and called out . . . “Petit Gervais! . . .” His cries died away into the mist, without even awakening an echo. . . . [H]is knees suddenly bent under him as if an invisible power suddenly overwhelmed him with the weight of his bad conscience; he fell exhausted . . . and cried out, “I’m such a miserable man!” This part of the novel is an early turning point in which Jean Valjean goes from a criminal to an honest man.
