DIRECTIONS: As we’ve discussed in class, Victor Hugo (Les Miserables) states that the three main problems of the age are:

-The degradation of man by poverty
-The ruination of women by starvation
-The dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night
For this assignment you will need to pick one character who suffers from one of these problems and complete a case study on them. Since you will eventually write an essay that talks about a problem you see in today’s world and also in Les Miserables, you may want to pick a character who falls into a category of suffering close to the problem you researched for your “Initial Research Assignment.”Your case study should have the name of the character as the title and then you will answer the following questions:

Write a summary of this character’s situation and how it connects to one of the three main problems of the age. This should be 100-200 words in length.

Explain the cause of their problem. How did it start? Who or what is responsible? This should be about 50-100 words in length.

Explain the end result of this issue. What was the fate of this character, because of this issue? This should be 50-100 words in length.

Explain what you think Victor Hugo’s intention was in putting this character in the novel. What did he want to point out about this character’s situation and its connection to the three main problems of the age? What should the reader take away from this character’s situation? This response should be 100-200 words.

Do you think this character’s situation was preventable or solvable? How? Explain. Your response to this question should be 100-200 words.

Though regarded in France as one of that country's greatest poets, he is better known abroad for such novels as Notre-Dame de Paris (1831; The Hunchback of Notre-Dame) and Les Misérables (1862). it took twenty years before its eventual publication in 1862 for his book.Les Misérables was inspired in part by the true story of Eugène-François Vidocq, who turned a criminal career into an anti-crime industry. He created the Bureau des Renseignements, said to be the world's first detective agency, in 1833, though he himself continued to be pursued by police.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war
