This force-directed graph visualizes character co-occurrence in *Les Misérables*, adapted from Mike Bostock’s original with added permanent labels. Each character is represented by a circle colored by group via an ordinal scale, and a text label is placed beside it by grouping both elements inside a shared SVG `<g>` container. Node positions are computed with D3 v4’s force simulation, including link, charge, and centering forces, with drag behavior to reposition nodes. Edge thickness encodes co-occurrence strength, and labels update in place as the simulation runs, making the network easier to explore than the unlabeled original.
