ENG 292 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Jean Valjean
Document Summary
Redemption can he be redeemed in the end? social justice deals with justice on a different level. Waterloo -- june 16-18 1815 -- napoleon is defeated. Thomas hobbes -- man is inherently bad -- will do harm to others. Compassion towards fellow man -- not for himself. Not enough to be conscious of social injustice -- you have to do something about it. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Direct address -- male writers do not usually write like this in the 19th century.
