What best describes valjean's internal conflict?

I just did this the answer is:

Valjean is struggling to be a good man, but he is unable to escape his past or the prejudices of others.

Valjean struggles to become a good man but his own despair and the prejudices of others make it difficult for him to escape his past and start over. or Valjean struggles to become a good man but his own despair and the prejudices of others make it difficult for him 

I would say key points!
