Hugo also describes the setting especially the buildings like the Bishop's house. Similes like " It was like water on dry soil; no matter how much money he received, he never had any. Then he stripped himself.  " creates pictures in our minds to better understand.  Foreshadowing like in Chapter 8 Philosophy After Drinking f oreshadows how the senator was acting towards the Bishop after drinking. At the beginning Hugo used alliteration to give it more meaning.
