Les Mis part 1 summary

Les Miserables part 1 revolves around a man and what goes on about his life. he is known as Monsieur Bienvenu or M. Myriel. We learned that before he became a bishop, he was known almost like as a bum, but he was wealthy though. But he did change, he wanted to change into someone who would have been way different than how he was. He became a man of respect and kindness among others, he trusted everyone equally no matter how different they were.

As time went on, we read more about the generous things he did. The thing about that is he didn't think of it as generosity, he thought of it as the right thing to do. For example, he had switched his home with the hospital to give more room for patients, another would be that he would give donations to other people or groups even if that meant being left with little amounts of money at the end. He acted equally toward other people, no matter if they were rich, poor, mean, or nice. He trusts people to the point where he doesn't even want to lock his house doors.

Overall, Monsieur Bienvenu is a great influencer and does have a very good mindset. It got to the point where the two women that live with him sometimes disagree with his decisions, but still, do what he says because they know what he thinks is the best idea. Yet there are some people who don't think positively about Monsieur Bienvenu. It depends if they're talking about religion or him in general. Some of the other bishops don't think he deserves a spot as the bishop because they go after wealth instead of religious teachings. There are some lessons to be learned by Monsieur Bienvenu that can teach us a better meaning of life.
