How am I doing with Javert's mental state? He has a rather knotted and confusing mind, and sometimes it is difficult to keep track of exactly how he is feeling about life, the universe, and everything, if you know what I mean. On top of that, he tends to internalize most of his thinking, so the most that manifests is a vague stare off into the distance or a severe twist in his expression at odd moments. Is there something else I should do to emphasize just how much he is flying by the edge of his seat and/or show his confusion, or would it be too much to take it further than I have? Really, it's only when his hot button issues come up in his daily affairs that he'll start to crumble a bit more obviously, but it is rare that this comes up, unfortunately.
HURRRHHH LATE EDIT TO ADD
