Les Misérables, Chapter 10 요약

줄거리

1. Hearing that G—— is dying, the Bishop overcomes his reluctance and visits the isolated man near sunset.
2. G—— explains his approaching death, while the Bishop initially keeps his distance and questions his political record.
3. They debate revolution, royal victims, earlier oppression, and whether compassion extends equally to poor and royal children.
4. G—— challenges the Bishop’s presumed luxury, apologizes for making the debate personal, and defends revolution against accusations of cruelty.
5. After affirming God’s existence, G—— recounts his public service and persecution; the Bishop asks his blessing and kneels.
6. G—— dies, and the Bishop spends the night praying; his greater compassion contrasts with the town’s hostile gossip.

The Bishop reverses the expected roles of the visit. Rather than simply ministering to a condemned outsider, he recognizes the dying man’s spiritual authority.
