2.6.1 Chapter Discussion (Spoilers up to 2.6.1)

Discussion prompts:

1. A new "book", a new part of the story. Do you feel that you can imagine the convent?

2. Hugo used some very emotive and colourful language, though that was drawing attention to the black and to the white, to the light and to the darkness. Do you feel that it was used effectively?

3. The story is back 50 years from the events of the previous chapter. Do you feel this is another large detour (like the war descriptions, which took a long and intricate path, but were generally considered to be interesting) or will be get back to the main story soon?

4. (Prompted by some discussion two chapters ago about the final line): How are you finding your translation of the story?

Last line:

... and take the reader inside, and with all due respect say things that storytellers have never seen and therefore never spoken of.
