Answer 2

B. despite the injustices Valjean experiences at the hand of the villager's he proves their prejudice right by stealing from the bishop. this event is ironic because it is not expected. it illustrates the internal conflict within Valjean and his struggle to be a good man and escape his past

Step-by-step explanation:

Valjean doesn't want to prove them right, but considering all, he just couldn't help it. Although the bishop was the last person that he should have stole from, Valjean did it, even though he might not have wanted to, in a way, and ended up making what the villager's expected of him, but not what the reader expected.
