| Summary | "Le Dernier Jour d'un Condamné" by Victor Hugo is a novel written in the early 19th century that delves into the themes surrounding capital punishment. The narrative centers on an unnamed protagonist who is facing execution, allowing readers to immerse themselves in his intense emotional turmoil and mental struggles as he confronts his fate. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist's despair as he grapples with the grim reality of being condemned to death. He reflects on the stark contrast between his former life, filled with dreams and aspirations, and his current state of despair and hopelessness. As he recounts his time in prison and the lead-up to his trial, the atmosphere becomes increasingly oppressive, and the reader feels his deep sense of isolation and dread. The protagonist’s internal monologue reveals his fear, resignation, and an overwhelming awareness of the finality of death, making it a powerful reflection on the human condition and the moral implications of the death penalty.
