Lesson Plan In this unit, students learn about agape or sacrificial love by viewing, discussing, and writing about the film (or play) Les Miserables, based on the novel by Victor Hugo. I used the Tom Hooper film starring Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway. Since the film is long and can be hard to follow, we watched it in short bursts, pausing to clarify characters and situations however needed. After each viewing session we spent several days talking about the plot, characters, settings, and so forth. My main goal was to make sure they understood what was happening in each scene, and how each scene related to the whole. We would also listen to the songs together. Process: Show the film in 20-30 minute episodes, pausing at places where there is a “cliffhanger.” For example, I paused the film at the following points: After Fantine is caught with the note, just as Jean Valjean enters the factory, revealing himeslf to be a successful businessman. When Valjean arrives at the inn to rescue Cosette After “One Day More” is sung. When Gavroche delivers Marius’s note to Valjean Note: Since my students were younger, I wanted to protect their innocence from the worst abuse Fantine suffers. Therefore I fast-forwarded through the last few verses of “Lovely Ladies.” I also skipped “Master of the House” entirely. (The song is poorly rendered in this version, I believe, and in any case is not essential to establishing the Thernadiers as evil.) I did not skip them, but note also that there are some graphic moments in the battle as well. After watching the whole movie, read together the Catholic Exchange article Les Mis: A Catholic Story by Gail Fink http://catholicexchange.com/les-miserables-a-catholic-story Here is an activity/assessment I created to go with this unit. I. Matching Match the quote with the character that says it. 1. “This is the land that fought for liberty, now when we fight, we fight for bread. Here is the thing about equality: everyone’s equal when they’re dead.” The author of this lesson shared it with other educators within the Sophia Institute for Teachers Catholic Curriculum Exchange.

There is no one but me who can intercede. In mercy’s name, three days are all I need.” 4. “Who cares about your lonely soul? We strive towards a larger goal. Our little lives don’t count at all.” 5. “I am at one with the Gods and Heaven is near! And I saw through a world that is new that is free” 6. “The time is here! Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts But a jubilant shout They will come one and all They will come when we call!” 7. “By the witness of the martyrs, by the Passion and the Blood, God has raised you out of darkness; I have bought your soul for God!” 8. “Little dear, cost us dear Medicines are expensive, M'sieur Not that we begrudged a sou It's no more than we Christians must do!” The author of this lesson shared it with other educators within the Sophia Institute for Teachers Catholic Curriculum Exchange. Find more resources and share your own at https://www.SophiaInstituteforTeachers.org. 9. “I know a place where no one's lost, I know a place where no one cries, Crying at all is not allowed. Not in my castle on a cloud.” 10. “Monsieur, don't mock me now, I pray. It's hard enough I've lost my pride. You let your foreman send me away - yes, you were there, and turned aside.” Answer Bank: Jean Valjean Javert Fantine Cosette Marius Mme. Thernadier Gavroche Enjoras The Bishop The Students II. Reflection questions 1. What lesson does Valjean learn when Fantine reminds him that he “turned aside” when his foreman sent her away? How is this lesson reflected in the lyrics: “look down upon your fellow man, look down and show some mercy if you can.” The author of this lesson shared it with other educators within the Sophia Institute for Teachers Catholic Curriculum Exchange. Find more resources and share your own at https://www.SophiaInstituteforTeachers.org. 2. Can you list any other moments in the film where characters make a choice to “turn aside” rather than help their fellow man? 3. In the song “One Day More,” all the characters with their various story lines together sing that the day of the battle will be a “judgment day”? What happens on Judgment Day? (See CCC 1059 for help). 4. Javert is an antagonist in the film. Is he a villain? Explain why or why not. 5. Just about every character in Les Miserables can teach us a moral lesson. For each item on the list below, write the character whose life exemplifies the lesson, and explain why. (If you can’t choose just one, that’s okay too!) A. Don’t spend your life pretending to be with someone who does not love you. B. Love is incarnational – we have to be physically present to those we love. C. Those who wish to be shown mercy must show mercy to others. D. You cannot change peoples’ hearts with violence. E. Young people can show great virtue. II. Essay question (choose one) A. Compare and contrast the characters of Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert, in terms of the way each one understands love, justice, and mercy. Use specific examples from the film to support your thesis. The author of this lesson shared it with other educators within the Sophia Institute for Teachers Catholic Curriculum Exchange. Find more resources and share your own at https://www.SophiaInstituteforTeachers.org. B. Agape is self-giving, sacrificial love. We can choose or reject agape in the choices we make every day with our family, friends, and in our care for the poor. In several moments of Les Mis, a character literally offers his life in place of someone else. List and explain at least three of these instances, and explain how the character’s love is agape.

  • The Tony-Award-Winning Creators of Les Misérables and Miss Saigon
    Report on the January-February 2017 University of Virginia Events around Les Misérables Organized by Professor Emeritus Marva Barnett Thanks to the generous grant from the Arts Endowment, supported by the Provost’s Office Course Enhancement Grant connected to my University Seminar, Les Misérables Today, the University of Virginia hosted several unique events, including the world’s first exhibit devoted to caricatures and cartoons about Victor Hugo’s epic novel and the second UVA artistic residency with the award-winning creators of the world’s longest-running musical—artists who have participated in no other artistic residencies. These events will live on through the internet, including the online presence of the Les Misérables Just for Laughs scholarly catalogue and the video of the February 23 conversation with Boublil and Schönberg. Les Misérables Just for Laughs / Les Misérables Pour Rire Exhibit in the Rotunda Upper West Oval Room, Jan. 21-Feb. 28 Before it was made into over fifty films and an award-winning musical, Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables was a rampant best seller when it appeared in 1862. The popular cartoonists who had caricatured Hugo for thirty years leapt at the chance to satirize his epic novel. With my assistance and that of Emily Umansky (CLAS/Batten ’17), French Hugo specialist Gérard Pouchain mounted the first-ever exhibit of original publications of Les Misérables caricatures— ranging from parodies to comic sketches of the author with his characters. On January 23, at 4:00 p.m. he gave his illustrated French presentation, “La caricature au service de la gloire, ou Victor Hugo raconté par le portrait-charge,” in the Rotunda Dome Room to approximately 25 UVA faculty and students, as well as Charlottesville community members associated with the Alliance Française.

  • Jean Valjean, After Spending Nineteen Years in Jail and in the Galleys For
    Les Miserables by Victor Hugo – A Summary (summary from http://education.yahoo.com/homework_help/cliffsnotes/les_miserables/4.html) Jean Valjean, after spending nineteen years in jail and in the galleys for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family (and for several attempts to escape) is finally released, but his past keeps haunting him. At Digne, he is repeatedly refused shelter for the night. Only the saintly bishop, Monseigneur Myriel, welcomes him. Valjean repays his host's hospitality by stealing his silverware. When the police bring him back, the bishop protects his errant guest by pretending that the silverware is a gift. With a pious lie, he convinces them that the convict has promised to reform. After one more theft, Jean Valjean does indeed repent. Under the name of M. Madeleine he starts a factory and brings prosperity to the town of Montreuil. Alone and burdened with an illegitimate child, Fantine is on the way back to her hometown of Montreuil, to find a job. On the road, she entrusts her daughter to an innkeeper and his wife, the Thénardiers. In Montreuil, Fantine finds a job in Madeleine's (Valjean’s) factory and attains a modicum of prosperity. Unfortunately she is fired after it is discovered that she has an illegitimate child. At the same time, she must meet increasing financial demands by the Thénardiers. Defeated by her difficulties, Fantine turns to prostitution. Tormented by a local idler, she causes a disturbance and is arrested by Inspector Javert. Only Madeleine's (Valjean’s) forceful intervention keeps her out of jail.

  • “Je Me Nomme Thénardier”: Through the Melodramatic Mirror
    “JE ME NOMME THÉNARDIER”: THROUGH THE MELODRAMATIC MIRROR by AMY ELLEN LAWS (Under the Direction of Timothy Raser) ABSTRACT The name Thénardier has become a synonym for “evil” as a result of Victor Hugo’s melodramatic characterization of Monsieur and Madame Thénardier in Les Misérables. Describing these characters in exquisite detail and revealing nearly countless evil deeds, the reader is left wondering how a couple capable of such deplorable acts could ever find redemption in what seems like a state of absolute evil. Upon closer examination of the melodramatic genre and Hugo’s own insertions through the lines of his characters and his poetry, he reveals the answer. The reader must decide if any of the characters in his novel are absolutely good or evil, and whether, in the melodramatic world, absolutes are even required.

  • Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Alain Boubil, Claude-Michel Schonberg
    Young Critics Reviews Spring 2010-2011 Les Miserables By Victor Hugo, Alain Boubil, Claude-Michel Schonberg, Jean-Marc Natel and Herbert Kretzman At the Hippodrome Theatre through March 6 By Abby Salazar ANYTHING BUT MISERABLE How would you change your life if you were given the opportunity to start over? Would you take revenge on those who made your life miserable, or would you devote yourself to building a completely new character for yourself, forgetting everything about your past? Jean Valjean, prisoner 24601, asks himself these questions in the new stage musical at the Hippodrome Theatre based on Victor Hugo's novel, "Les Miserables." Set in France during the 1800s, it explores the world of second chances through the story of an ex-convict's new life as depicted through powerful sonic effects and exemplary visuals. “Starting over” is a familiar phrase. Many times we regret things we've done and wish we could start over, but how can we erase things that have already happened? How often do we actually start over? Valjean has made terrible mistakes, but when he is presented with the opportunity to start over, he acts decisively. He not only changes his appearance, name and location but also his values, morals and attitude. He keeps his past to himself and completely alters his outlook on life. The writers of the show emphasize his development by making connections to his past yet giving space for him to act differently according to his new persona. In the opening scene, a group of men are working hard on a slave ship.
