Why make Javert the villain of Les Mis when you could
1.) Not
2.) Not
3.) Not
that was cool toward the end of les mis how javert jumped into the seine and swam away. where did he go? i hope hes living a nice quiet life in a sweet cottage somewhere. hopefully he didnt have to swim for too long
The reason I love Javert as the antagonist in Les Miserables is that he acts a lot like the protagonist. Most villains in stories show themselves as evil like killing innocents and craves power. Javert, however, doesn’t want that. Javert believes he hunts down a criminal because he is dangerous. He is a monarchist and defends his belief. He follows the law by the book and believes it is the right thing to do. I love antagonists like them. It shows that even though you think that something is righteous, doesn’t mean that everyone else should think so as well.

I’M LAUGHING SO HARD, OH MY GOD
VALJEAN IS THE ENTIRE REASON JAVERT GOT TRANSFERRED TO PARIS
Therefore, Valjean is indirectly responsible for Javert getting a promotion. Which is fucking hilarious, because if we rewind a few books to when Javert was trying to get himself dismissed, we get this line from Valjean (Then the mayor):
“Javert, you deserve promotion instead of degradation.”
AND VALJEAN ACCIDENTALLY GETS HIM PROMOTED
I’M CRYING

Les Misérables 2.5.10
Javert was afraid of being deprived of his convict.
Thank you Victor Hugo.
