During thunder storms, he felt his pulse. He is prone to panic attacks and often gets very worried. He asserted that man was magnetized like the needle of a compass and in his room he positioned his bed with the head facing south and the foot facing north so that at night the circulation of his blood would not be impeded by the great magnetic current between the two poles of the globe. At twenty-three, he believed himself to be chronically ill and spent his life looking at his tongue in the mirror. Although Joly is a happy, jolly person, his hypochondriasis makes him nervous and uncomfortable a lot of the time. The only two people who can persuade him out of his hypochondriasis are Bossuet and Musichetta. He is one of the revolutionary students, and is a sentry at the barricade during the revolution. Joly is a medicine student and a member of Les Amis de l'ABC. Joly dies alongside the other insurgents on the barricade during the June Rebellion. The morning of June 5, Joly dines with Lesgle and Grantaire before joining his fellows in building the barricade, despite having a cold. He has the habit of touching his nose with the tip of his cane, which shows he has a sagacious mind.


He is called "Jolllly" with four L's, a pun on the English word "jolly". Joly is described as the happiest of all of the Friends despite his eccentricity and hypochondria. Joly was best known as the malade imaginaire (hypochondriac) of Les Amis de l'ABC.Ī malade imaginaire student of medicine. Shot at the barricades (novel and musical)
