He has in his own eyes committed an unpardonable transgression: he has accused Madeleine of being the ex-convict Jean Valjean. He convinces himself that the welfare of many others — Fantine, Cosette, the whole town — depends on his staying out of prison. This man was composed of two very simple and two very good sentiments, comparatively; but he rendered them almost bad, by dint of exaggerating them—respect for authority, hatred of rebellion; and in his eyes, murder, robbery, all crimes, are only forms of rebellion.His supreme anguish was the loss of certainty.

They struggle, but Valjean overpowers Javert.
As she becomes more and more desperate she becomes a prostitute to keep paying for Cosette. Fantine is attacked by some customers, and when she retaliates, Javert beats and arrests her, planning on sending her to prison.

".Driven by a mysterious compulsion, Valjean drives furiously to Arras. He tries to borrow a horse. He felt that he had been uprooted […] A whole new world was dawning on his soul: kindness accepted and repaid, devotion, mercy, indulgence, violences committed by pity on austerity, respect for persons, no more definitive condemnation, no more conviction, the possibility of a tear in the eye of the law, no one knows what justice according to God, running in inverse sense to justice according to men. Unfortunately, Fantine is not getting better in spite of the nuns' devoted care. Unbeknown to the mayor, Javert has investigated Madeleine's past. Javert refuses, sneeringly and loudly, and Fantine realizes that her daughter has not arrived and that the mayor is a criminal under arrest. He puts his affairs in order, but the battle is not yet over: doubts and fearful visions weaken his resolve. Even when he does go to Arras, it is not so much the result of a conscious decision to sacrifice himself to another as out of the instinctive knowledge, which his dream has brought him, that if he does not go he will have no life left worth living.

In addition, Valjean killed the police inspector....they’re on the wrong track. Anne Hathaway’s portrayal of the frail and forsaken prostitute Fantine in the movie is heartwrenching and fragile. He sees a man, who passes in front of Valjean’s room: it’s,Volume 2, Book 5: For a Black Hunt, a Mute Pack,...the square and point in the direction that Valjean had gone. ... Fantine gave up her front teeth to pay for medicine Cosette supposedly needed. Javert is unswerving in his belief that men cannot change for the better.
