* Inspector Javert's career has encompassed the ''Ancien Regime'' of Louis XVI, the Reign of Terror, the Directory, The Consulate and Imperate of Napoleon, the restored Bourbon Monarchs Louis XVIII and Charles X, and finaly the July Monarchy of Louis Phillipe. That's a lot of different rulers and ogvernment forms. I can't believe that Javert managed to hold on to his invincible faith in the righteousness of Law and Government in the face of the Conspicuous Consumption of Marie Antoinette ("Let Them Eat Cake and all that), the Terror of the Jacobins and/or the Corruption of the Directors, continue to advance in his career, and still be alive, kicking, and still in law enforcement in time to become Valjean's parole officer, especially since Louis XVIII and Charles X weren't the type to believe in "truth and reconciliation." Wouldn't he have made more sense as a somewhat dour cynic who shrugs his shoulders when Valjean breaks parole, and rather than step forward to infiltrate the Friends of the ABC, simply be the one not stepping back, and overall behaving more like Benjamin from AnimalFarm?
