2.6.2 chapter discussion (spoilers up to 2.6.2)

Discussion prompts:

1. This is a very dark chapter, with a lot of detail of the very austere and strict life these nuns lead. How do you think these religious orders were seen at the time?

2. This explains the terrifying vision that Valjean saw, but doesn't make it any less terrifying.

3. Did you know much about these strict religious orders? Do you know if they still exist to this day?

Last line:

Between 1825 and 1830 three of them went mad.
