This song portrays the philosophy of Javert, the policeman who devotes years of his life to tracking down the ex-convict Jean Valjean. While Valjean has discovered redemption through mercy, Javert knows only the justice of the law. He acts according to his conscience, but he cannot comprehend the possibility what he perceives as evil becoming good.
Doctrine: Morality - law and conscience; Church history - Jansenism
