* {{Hypocrite}}: Averted. For all his flaws, Javert makes a point of being just as harsh towards himself as he is on others and even believes doing so is the only way his pursuit of justice can be seen as pure.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Averted. For all his flaws, Javert makes a point of being just as harsh towards himself as he is on others and even believes doing so is the only way his pursuit of justice can be seen as pure. When he messes up, he doesn't make excuses or look for leniency but demand to be treated as harshly as possible, even wanting to be fired in disgrace for one particular error.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Among the cast of the musical specifically. The oppressive ruling system of France is the closest thing to a central villain, and Javert is more of a representation of that system than someone who is evil in his own right (in addition to having a rigid system of personal principles and a sincere, if extremely unforgiving, idea of right and wrong), but Thénardier, beneath the [[LaughablyEvil disarming]] [[FauxAffablyEvil veneer]], is genuinely just the biggest bastard in all of France on his own merits.
