The Resilience of the Human Spirit in “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo: A Critical Analysis

الملخص

This paper aims to make a critical analysis of one of the literary pieces of nineteenth-century novels and one example of postmodern literature, Les Miserables, written by the French novelist, Victor Hugo. The well-woven art represented by the writer shows his ability to personify the sequence of the human spirit's conflict and its resilience to get purified. The paper clarifies the master craft of the novelist to confess to the readers that the human spirit's resilience and dignity transcend time and place. It throws light on the manner of the writer; he abuses and criticizes the situation he has lived in. His satirical contradictory style of gathering comedy and tragedy multiplies his sparks.
