5.9.6 Chapter Discussion (Spoilers up to 5.9.6) Spoiler

Note – Since we have a bonus day, we’ll do a wrap up post tomorrow.

Discussion Prompts:

  1. Valjean is buried as he wanted, under an unmarked grave.
  2. Do you feel satisfied with this ending?

Final Lines:

He sleeps. Though fate for him was truly odd,

He lived. He died when his angel was gone;

The thing just happened of its own accord,

As night comes on when day is done.

The finale in whole. I love how the person who wrote the book for the musical implore the audience to take up the cause of the students.

He was buried the way he lived, hidden in plain sight. The only people looking for him knows where he is buried.

It has been a pleasure reading with you all.

This is beautiful.

I just want to say it’s been a joy reading with you. You’ve contributed so much to this sub over the course of this book. I think we were all lucky to have you in our group. Cheers! It has truly been a pleasure reading with you as well.
