Hugo est le maître incontestable de le langue française mais aussi le plus grand défenseur de l’homme contre la peine de mort. Dans ce roman, il voulait décrire les conséquences morales que produisent une telle peine (alors que l’on se concentre souvent sur les conséquences physiques lorsque l’on pensent à la guillotine) et souhaitait que le lecteur prenne conscience de toute l’horreur que procure une telle condamnation. Il a réussi avec brio. En lisant les mots de Hugo, j’ai réviser moi aussi certaines de mes opinions et comprise des choses qui ne m’étaient pas venu à l’esprit avant et m’a fait réfléchir ainsi que remettre en question certaine de mes positions. Ce qui m’a le plus plu de ce roman ne fut la préface où Hugo lance son plaidoyer contre la peine de mort. J’ai beaucoup aimer aussi pouvoir lire les trois discours qu’il a donner sur le sujet.
