Victor Hugo and nuns

[foxfirefey]

Keeping in line with the quote in the last post, skygiants has recently been doing a hilarious booklog of Les Miserables, and I didn't know it contained badass nuns:

Fortunately Fauchelevant is kind enough (and also bored enough) to forgive this and help Valjean craft a cunning plan to stay in the convent. He is helped with this by the fact that the nuns have decided that today is a great day to ILLEGALLY BURY A BODY under their altar, because that dead nun really wanted to be buried under the altar and they are not gonna let THE MAN tell them where they can bury any nuns if they can help it. DAMN THEIR HEALTH CODES, DAMN THEIR LIES!

Victor Hugo: a master of subtle characterization, or not?

From ladyvyola on ellen_fremedon's post about picking up the 'subtext' in Les Misérables:

"Subtlety"? What is this "subtlety"? Perhaps it is some affectation of the English? Bah! I cannot be bothered with such petty concepts, I have anvils to drop!
