Chapter 52 Eleven Christ Saves Us

What does Fantine's story illustrate?Explain that society bought a slave. From whom?Buy from the poor. Buying off hunger, loneliness, abandonment, poverty.Distressing business.A person's soul is exchanged for a loaf of bread.Poverty sells, society buys. The divine law of Jesus Christ governs our civilization, but it does not permeate it.It is generally believed that slavery has ceased to exist in European civilization.This is a misunderstanding.Slavery has always existed, but only against women, and that is the system of prostitution. It oppresses women, that is to say, it oppresses tenderness, weakness, beauty, and maternity.This is by no means a trivial disgrace on the part of men.

When the tragedy had reached its present stage, Fantine was not at all what she had been before.She turned into wood and stone at the same time she turned into sludge.Everyone who came into contact with her felt a chill.She treats others with her body and is at your mercy, no matter who you are, her face is full of humiliation and resentment.Life and the social order had come to a conclusion for her.She has received all that is to be received.She had felt it all, endured it all, experienced it all, given it all up, lost it all, cried it all out.She forbears, her forbearance resembles indifference, as death resembles sleep.She was no longer running from anything, nor was she afraid of anything.Even if all the rain falls on her head and the whole ocean pours down on her, it doesn't matter to her!She is already a sponge soaked in water.

At least that's what she thought, but it would be a mistake to think that you had suffered your fate, that you had come to the end of something. well!What is that messy, ravaged creature?Where is their home?Why is that? Those who can answer these questions will see through the darkness of the world. He is the only one.He is called God.
