is an epic allegory of the spiritual journey of man. Virgil, Dante the pilgrim's guide, leads him through the 7 layers of hell. Throughout his journey through the torturous layers, Dante discovers the perfection of God's divine justice and themes of contrapasso are largely explored. Classical symbolism and classical figures are constantly referenced. This serves to emphasize that God's power rules over all - even pagan characters/figures. Dante also uses structure prominently to emphasize the trinity. By organizing the poem into 3 line stanza's consistently, it emphasizes the perfection of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Similarly, pay close attention to the numbering of Cantos. The number symbolism of '3' for the trinity, and '7' for the holy number is consistently used throughout the work.--

Jean Valjean is the protagonist of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Misérables. Hugo depicts the character's 19-year-long struggle to lead a normal life after serving a prison sentence for stealing bread to feed his sister's children during a time of economic depression and various attempts to escape from prison. Valjean is also known in the novel as Monsieur Madeleine, Ultime Fauchelevent, Monsieur Leblanc, and Urbain Fabre. Valjean and Police Inspector Javert, who repeatedly encounters Valjean and attempts to return him to prison, have become archetypes in literary culture. In the popular imagination, the character of Jean Valjean came to represent both Hugo himself and leftist sentiment.

Soojin had one job and that was to keep herself out of trouble. Whether it was the school, friends or guys. That was what she had promised her older brother, Seokjin. Soojin loved to help and Seokjin knew she loved to help, but when she does it has only ever landed her into more trouble. Kindness just doesn't repay. Kim Soojin, that little troublemaker that got him worried every single time. He could only pray that trouble would stop knocking onto Soojin's door. And pray even harder that Soojin would stop being so kind to everyone out there. But what both Soojin & Seokjin did not expect was that 'trouble' had included a petite female ghost, going by the name of Oh Taerim. And of course, Oh Taerim just had to request help from the main protagonist of this story, Kim SooJin. And all of that spelt trouble. [THE GHOST WHISPERER] Story idea coming from @-eatseokjins !! Please do not plagarize. Thank You.
