Valjean is not a murderer and Javert is a policeman who is autistic about the law.

The book is a didactic morality tale. Valjean killing Javert wouldn't have served the author's intentions.

Convinced me to read the book. No idea why. I thought Notre Dame de Paris was extremely overwrought.

This translation is bad. Read the original Wilbour or Hapgood
