Abstract
This article deals with analysis of creative work of Victor Hugo, an outstanding poet, playwright, novelist and public figure. It investigates the writer’s social and moral principles reflected in his works.V. Hugo appeals to conscience, condemns cruelty and callousness, cries over victims on the pages of his books, dreams about brighter future for humanity. Scientific research of the novel «Les Misérables» by V. Hugo from the point of view of comparison of the most outstanding characters of the epic novel with the well — known Evangelical ones is of a special interest.Such comparison gives quite a different treatment of these widely known images. Analogy of such characters as Jean Valjean, Fantine, Javert, Bishop Miriel, Thenardier with the Biblical ones are being analysed. In the end the conclusion is made that Evangelical images, plots and motives pervade the art world of European culture. To orient in this world, to understand its development tendencies and to become competent in the creative work of great authors it is necessary to carry out a profound research of Evangelic characters.
