Link to chapter

Discussion prompts:

  1. Yet another short chapter, and Hugo does not waste any word by telling us simply what happened.
  2. Thoughts on this line: "'Long live the emperor!' History has nothing more moving than this death rattle bursting out into acclamation."
  3. Thoughts on the last line? It hints at Ney's eventual execution by the French after Napoleon's exile.
  4. Other points of discussion? Lines that stood out to you?

Final line:

Unhappy man, thou wert reserved for French bullets!
