I don't know enough about Flaubert, but Hugo??

Have you read some of its poetry? Have you read "The toad"?

If the death of Eponine in Les Misérables does not touch you then I understand why you dismiss all these writers, but you are the outlier here.

We have been exposed to a 1000 touching deaths. It was novel when it was written, and deep.

Today it's one more.
