The thing that I love about Javert is that he *is* rigid and closeminded and kind of a dick and very binary in his thinking and yet...he does the best he can. I really, truly believe he does and I never for a second think while reading the book or listening/watching the musical that he's out to get Valjean for personal reasons; it's always about This Guy Is An Escaped Convict and Belongs In Jail. He is doing his duty and it takes him to this place where he has to question everything he has built his life on and that is so awesome I can't even describe it.
