Que signifie mourir lentement, en en étant parfaitement conscient ? Dans Le Dernier Jour d’un Condamné, Victor Hugo ne raconte pas l’histoire d’un crime. Il donne une voix : celle d’un prisonnier attendant de mourir, en toute connaissance de sa sentence, comptant les heures jusqu’à ce que la lame tombe. Il reste entièrement anonyme. Son passé n’a pas d’importance. Ce qui reste, c’est une pensée brute empreinte de sentiments multiples qui s’entremêlent : peur, résistance, désir, rage et résignation dans un monologue final.
