    Summary

    "Even as Javert's feet had left the pavement, when he had clutched the parapet and propelled himself over it, when he had flung himself in the air and fallen through it, and when his body had hit the water and his back had broke, when his lungs had gasped and screamed, in all the minutes that it took him to die, he had not felt regret, so comforted was he by the river’s invitation. Resolutely, he had been relieved to know that his suffering would soon be over and his misdeeds quickly forgotten. If only it had been so."

    Javert's soul is preserved by and trapped in the Seine — and the surviving characters who were unhappy enough to encounter him in life might be so unfortunate as to meet him again.
