The synthesis of critical works by Victor Hugo, Denis Saurat and Alain Decaux, provided a starting point and theoretical support for the subsequent development of our contribution in the form of a literary analysis applied to a selected corpus in order to explain and put into practice general considerations, while drawing on our knowledge of Orthodox theology. In the light of our research, verse analysis highlights the important religious dimension of Victor Hugo's poetic expression: the poet-prophet has the certainty of God's existence and the awareness necessary to think and act according to the principles of Christian morality. As far as the poet-prophet's mission is concerned, we have deduced that he campaigns for the punishment of those who do not believe in God and do not agree to carry out His will. His work is to work for social progress, to defend truth, justice, freedom and faith wherever they are threatened, to rekindle courage and lift hearts. Beyond that, poetry is nothing but empty noise and a rhetorical exercise.
