PLEASE HELP‼️‼️

THIS IS A QUESTION FOR THE MOVIE “LES MISERABLE”

Jean Valjean does not start out his life as a wicked or bitter man; rather, his experiences in prison turn him into the wicked and bitter man who first enters the town of Digne. Even after the Bishop gives him hospitality and shelter, Jean Valjean steals his silver. What, exactly, causes Valjean to turn his life around? What does Valjean's transformation suggest about how our actions and attitudes
affect others?

Answer:

The Prison is causing him depression

Step-by-step explanation

Jean is a good perosn when he starts his life, however he turns evil and does not want to listen to anyone. He does not care for anyone,nor does he appreciate anyone. This is because of intense depression. When Jean experinces how quiet and lonely a jail cell can be, he goes into deep depression, and goes crazy. This causes him to lose his emotions and feeling for others. The jail cell causes all of this to Jean. The Bishop gives Jean kindness and shelter. Although, Jean decides to steal his silver, rather than being nice to the Bishop.

We as humans, can easily get into minor depression. Whether it is a minor assigment, losing a game, losing a friend, and much more. This depression can cause lots of harm to us at first, but it can affect other peeople around that person. If a person is depressed, he can easily get mad at his best friend. He or she could do something wrong which no one though he would do. This is the result of depression. Our altititude towards others, can change their perspective of who we really are. They can also be emotionally moved or hurt by what comes out of our mouths by accident due to depression. We should alwyas be careful of controling our anger, and not expressing our bad feelings on others who have not done any harm to us.

Please go over for any gramatical or spelling errors!
