From Les Miserables.
Valjean. Javert is the worst kind of unthinking autocrat, with no leniency or compassion, a strict adherent to the letter of the law.
Valjean was a transformed man who rose above his oppression.
Using only two choices I would go with Jean Val jean. I loved the book as well as PBS televised series. Wish that they would do also ” The Count of Monte Crisco” as its along similar lines of thought.
I’m probably more of a Javert.
I’m probably 90 percent Jean Valjean ( wish I have his physical strength 100 percent ) and the rest Javert.
