## Resource

Catholic Discernment Note ⚠️ Catholic Discernment Note: Victor Hugo's work contains strong moral themes concerning justice, mercy, charity, and the dignity of the poor. However, some philosophical and political viewpoints reflect Hugo's personal beliefs rather than Catholic doctrine. Readers can profit greatly from the novel's defense of human dignity while exercising discernment regarding its broader social commentary.
