Love at first sight is a common phrase known to almost everyone. However, as we grow up, we know that love is more complicated than a first sighting. There’s more to it than looks. However, in Les Miserables written by Victor Hugo, the immaturity shown throughout his writing leads to Eponine losing out in the long run. With almost everything about women being physical characteristics written in the book, Eponine is looked down upon even though her personal traits had more to offer. Eponine was a…

Jean Valjean, nearly fifty, experiences more in his lifetime than the average man. By Victor Hugo affirming Valjean's age to only around fifty suggests to the reader that Valjean's life-changing experiences are not yet complete. Because he is younger than the reader expects, Valjean's physique resides along with his age helping him in various scenarios. Over the course of a year, Valjean's body ages to his actual age of eighty years; his strength vamooses him as he prepares for his demise.…

Hugo: This has been happening at least once or twice a week. It started the night I decided to continue writing, almost a month ago. I’m not sure what it is but every so often there is a fire that burns almost through my chest. It feels as though someone had dropped a piece of burning coal right on my heart. I think it really is the stress. I’ve had this feeling before, when I was writing actually. Last time I had this feeling I was writing the very book I’m trying to finish now. That was also…

Hugo Grotius’s Commentary on the Law of Prize and Booty, completed in 1606, profoundly challenges the traditional conceptual dichotomy between private piracy and public warfare. Grotius’s treatise convincingly blurs comfortable distinctions between piracy, privateering, and warfare. The historical event giving rise to the Commentary was an act of piracy. In 1602, the Dutch sea-captain Jakob van Heemskerck was commissioned by the United Amsterdam Company to command eight of their ships and engage…

Positivity and Adversity in the Face of Poverty Can you imagine what it would it be like to experience true poverty, and how it would shape your worldview? In Les Misérables, Victor Hugo addresses such a topic using multiple characters’ experiences of living on the margins of society. Each characters’ outlook on life and attitude towards poverty has a dramatic effect on their experiences: Fantine views poverty with deep resentment, Jean Valjean sees his impoverished experience as something he…

life-altering than I had originally expected. Our main task was to make batches of cement for houses a day in the community of Villa del Rillo. Lots of Puerto Rican houses, mostly in the poorer areas, still haven’t recovered from the effects of Hurricane Hugo, which hit the island almost three decades ago. Difficult manual labor directly under the oppressive heat for hours every day left us sore, dirty, and tired, but gratified.…

A theory can be defined as a supposition of ideas or systems of ideas which explain something. It explains the ‘why’ and allows us to make predictions about behaviour. Fayol (1949) defined theory as “a collection of principles, rules, methods and procedures tried and checked by general experience.” Management theories are implemented in the organisation to help increase their productivity and service quality. When applying new strategies in the workplace, many managers commonly use a…

that state. This evolved from the concept of that everyone had a “duty to assist people in danger”. The doctrine of “humanitarian intervention” has long been a controversial subject, both in law and in international relations, and remains so today. Hugo Grotius, in his classical work specifically lists humanitarian intervention as one of the just causes of war. Basis of Humanitarian Intervention: Humanitarian Intervention and UN Charter The UN Charter under Art. 2(4) prohibit use of force in…
