In this chapter we find out that Myriel is a kind, generous man that puts others before him and only takes what he needs for himself.

Telling stories and inventing stories empower people to organize in large numbers because it simplifies and it makes it easier for people to identify someone that associates with a specific symbol no matter if they are part of that group
