Unlock the more straightforward side of The Man Who Laughs with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Man Who Laughs by Victor Hugo, a grandiose and poetic novel, in which a man who has been terribly disfigured as a child represents the fate of the people. Torn between carnal passion and pure love, struggling for his survival, hindered by his laughable face, the hero's destiny is rich in tragedies and unexpected twists. Hugo wrote the novel while living on the Channel Islands, after he had been exiled there following his controversial, politically-charged writing. The Man Who Laughs has since been adapted for screen and stage many times, and continues to entertain audiences around the world.
