I don't think Fantine made a good decision because she wanted to get loved for hr beauty and ended up getting pregnant. I think Jean Valjean made a good decision because it helped him find his new self and see the good in the world. Once we make a choice we have to live with it for the rest of our life's even if you don't like it. We are influenced to make choices because we want to fit in to the box of people. My question is why does there have to be a box for us to fit in? Why don't we all be ourselves instead of trying to fit in this crocked world.
