Jean Valjean, in my opinion, is a dynamic character. A dynamic character is a character that changes throughout the story. I believe that Jean Valjean is a dynamic character because of the way he changed from being mad at the world to have a good heart to being there for Cosette when she needed someone.

Jean Valjean started the story with him hating the world because of all of the bad things that have happened to him. Like the police made him go to jail because he was trying to get food for his family. he also didn't get what he deserved like when he was going to get out of the prison they didn't give him the money that he deserved.

After everything that he went through with the prison he got out and he meets the bishop of Dane. When they first meet Jean Valjean still thought that the world was cruel but then the bishop taught him that the world was good that if he was good it was a good back. After that visit with the bishop, he learned that its true that the world was good.  He also wanted to help the people just like the bishop of Dane did. He became the mayor of a town and saved a person's life. Who later on is helping him with Cosette.

Jean Valjean also changed the minute he saw Cosette. When he saw Cosette and started to talk to her and see her happy he changed again. He changed from caring for other people to just caring about Cosette. To him Cosette was his everything, after all, she did call him father which to him made her even more special to him because finally, he could take care of the one person that loved him.

Jean Valjean changed a lot through the story. the changed from hating the world to wanting everyone to love each other to be a father figure for Cosette.
