Within this paper, I will argue that the decision that Jean Valjean decided on, stealing the loaf of bread for his nieces and nephews, was morally wrong.

1998, Jean Valjean during the whole movie, he experienced stages in his life, which change his perspective. Valjean, at first, was not a good man at all. He was found with all the wrong morals, but someone chose to overlook that factor about him. In the beginning, Val Jean was poor and starving, so he stole a piece of bread. That single piece of bread, put him in prison for 19 years. Today stealing a piece of bread would be considered nothing, you especially wouldn’t go to prison. Once Jean…
