Question

Do you think Victor Hugo has justified the title of the story? Give reasons to

support your views.

Answer 1

At his best, he espoused a form of left-wing bourgeois republicanism—a hodgepodge of humanism and pacifism with a little socialist mysticism thrown in. At other times, he was a royalist, imperialist, and counterrevolutionary. The popularity of Victor Hugo cannot be explained by his personal politics alone
