What's this all about

So far the story of Les Miserables has been about a man named M. Myriel that was given the role of being a bishop during the era of the French Revolution. It mainly talks about how he spreads his wisdom and how he deals with his life. There was a quick transition at the beginning that showed how he changed into a man that's all about respect and generosity. There were many examples given about what kind of person he is like how he donates money to people in his community, no matter if they're rich or poor. He is mainly respected by most and is seen as an influencer in a way. He gave up his home for the people in the hospital that needed it. And he is very trustworthy of people he doesn't even know like for example, he doesn't even lock the doors to him home.
