About This Novel
In the novel, Hugo created three central characters: the Marquis de Landenac, the leader of the Vendée rebels, his grandnephew, Guo Wan, the commander of the Republican Army who suppressed the rebellion, and Simourdain, Guo Wan's tutor and commissioner of the Public Security Commission. He developed an intricate plot around them, depicting the historical scene of the desperate struggle between the bourgeoisie and the feudal forces in 1793. At the end of the novel: Landenac discovered his conscience and returned to the burning castle to rescue the three children. Guo Wan was moved by his uncle's humanitarian spirit and was willing to trade his own head for Landenac's life. Simourdan shot himself while Guo Wan's head fell to the ground.
