> > Obviosuly not, but I think this is the 'Justice is Blind' motife. According to Justice Valjean should go back to jail for breaking parol, since that is what happens to anyone who breaks parol, no mater the extenuating circumstances. Justice just deals with the fact Valjean broke parol, reasons are not considered. To be Fair, one must take Valjean's reasons into consideration.

That's what I was trying to say. Thanks.
