Summary "Kuolemantuomitun viimeinen päivä" by Victor Hugo is a novel written in the early 19th century. This thought-provoking work explores the harrowing psychological experiences of a prisoner condemned to death, focusing on their emotional turmoil and existential reflections as they await their execution. Through this poignant depiction, Hugo critiques the moral implications of capital punishment and the societal structures that uphold it. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist introduces themselves as a death row inmate, grappling with the chilling weight of their impending fate. They recount their surreal daily existence within the walls of Bicêtre prison, where the monotony of confinement is pierced by thoughts of death and fleeting memories of freedom. As they navigate their dread and despair, the prisoner reflects on the broader implications of their punishment, questioning the nature of justice and human compassion. The beginning sets a somber tone, inviting readers to engage with deep philosophical questions about life, morality, and the human condition as they follow the protagonist's internal struggle.
