Le Mis 4
LE MIS CHAPTER 4
This chapter was a long one but an interesting one as well. At the start of the chapter, it was talking about how the poor people are and how a priest said that to get into heaven you must give money to the poor. After that day there was a wealthy man who had never donated a penny to the poor but after hearing he could buy his way to heaven he finally decided to donate a little. The bishop saw this and was not too happy to see that the only reason this man donated to the same poor person every time just to buy his place in heaven. So later in the chapter, the bishop is called to be with a man who has been sentenced to die the next day. The bishop proceeds to stay with the man and comfort him telling him things to believe that the lord will be with him if he believes. The next day the bishop is still with the man and follows him everywhere till the time that the man must die. The man was not in fear for he felt that the Lord will be with him and he will be alright in the next life. Just before the man dies the bishop gives him one last prayer. After the execution, the bishop feels disgusted towards the guillotine and will no longer pass by the place of executions for he feels that man doesn`t own the power to end someone else's life only god. This shows how the bishop is a good guy sticking to the man who is going to die making him feel better and believe with god.
