I can't find my post but anyways re what I said about how jean valjean's relationship with his own body is for the most part never really explicitly touched on but there's huge amounts to be extrapolated from it, I think it's really interesting how physical & related to the body the descriptions we see him give are when he's thinking about confessing & then confessing to marius at the end of the book. obviously there's the more literal one:

where the physical state of his leg proves that he was in the galleys and is sort of a physical manifestation of his status as a convict, but there's also, e.g.:

I just think it's really interesting that his feeling of his own taintedness is so physical that it's externalised into his body like this in his descriptions -- particularly when it comes to touching other people
