The PBS finale of Les Miserables is on right now. What a magnificent work (the book) is.
And the total theme: In the Iliad, Achilles was told, "Do not be RELENTLESS. Only DEATH is relentless. That's why men hate him so."
Fun fact: This PBS dramatic version is spectacular because Victor HUGO's thing is spectacular and can be played in any medium. But because of the Lloyd Weber deal, I expect the cast to break into song at any moment!1
And in the book, is JAUVERT Black for any reason (he is on PBS).

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
