Hugo wrote his novel in response to his own exile from his home in France for his criticism against the French government. As a result, Hugo became an important French writer who spoke out against his banishment and the oppression in France. He used his experience in exile to create several misunderstood characters in his famous novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and, as a result, he has been able to create…

The film “The Lives of Others” can be approached by two ethical frameworks. The ethical frameworks that can be examined to understand these situations more thoroughly are the theories of utilitarianism and egoism. To lay the ground base, utilitarianism is an ethical theory that states than an individual should do not what is best for himself, but rather for the greater of the group.
