Summary of Les Miserables
Act I
Prologue
1815 - Toulon
Our story begins on the chain gang. ("That's the sound of the men, working on the"- No wait, wrong song...) After the prisoners finish singing of their miseries (yes, we meet some "Miserables" right away), we meet a police inspector. He calls forth prisoner 24601, who has spent the last 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread - five for the actual theft and the rest for escape attempts. The prisoner's time for parole has come, and he is given a yellow ticket-of-leave. The prisoner reveals his name is Jean Valjean, and the inspector reveals his as Javert, and warns not to forget that name.
Dinge
Our hero Valjean is having trouble finding work or board in this town. The paper he is required to show tells everyone that he is a prisoner on parole, and no one wants anything to do with him. Finally the saintly Bishop takes him in, giving him food and a place to sleep. Valjean still has criminal instincts, though, and steals the silver place settings while the house is asleep. He is quickly caught by two constables and brought back to the bishop's house. The bishop, however, tells the constables that the silver was a gift, and gives him two silver candlesticks. Sending the constables away, he tells Valjean that "you must use this precious silver to become an honest man" and that "I have bought your soul for God". Valjean is so moved by the mercy and generosity of the bishop that he decided to start his life fresh and on the right track, tearing up his yellow ticket-of-leave and breaking his parole.
