    Les Miserables is a 19th century French novel that emphasizes social class differences and the extreme poverty of the lower classes in contrast to the wealth of the powerful. Through scenes like protests in the plaza and Fantine's harassment, the novel portrays the imbalance of power between the wealthy elite and poor, as well as how the class system negatively impacted those in lower social positions, who had little power or means of defending themselves against the upper classes or authorities like Javert. Overall, the story is an critique of the unequal societal structure of the time.

    barricades. In the scene where Fantine was harassed by a wealthy man, Javert automatically
    takes the side of the wealthier, higher class man. Javert chose to take the side of the man
    because Fantine is a prostitute and is in a lower class on the society. Her words have no
    value no matter what truth she says to defend herself. Fantine was affected by the class
    system.
