He's in jail, he's a prison guard. He became the mayor, he became the local sheriff. Is this the bondage of fate? No wonder after falling in love and killing each other, the two went to Huangquan one after another. The last person who came to pick up Valjean's soul, why is it Fantine, it should be Javert.
In the Thénardier family, Éponine and Cosette are sisters and Cinderella. When they grow up, their identities are reversed. Cinderella becomes a princess and her sister lives on the streets. I have always thought that Amanda Seyfried is a bit strange, so even though Samantha Barks' head circumference and waist circumference are extremely inconsistent, I still prefer the latter.
Marius and Cosette just took a second glance in the crowd and they connected. Pity Éponine became cannon fodder. What is the difference between Enjolras and Marius? One is a radical poor student, and the other is a radical rich kid who pretends to be a poor student. So the latter is more attractive to girls.
Thinking that if it was Enjolras, Valjean would give Cosette to him and go back to the church to die. Not to mention luxury weddings, Cosette might still follow him to eat guns.
Javert is actually the most similar person to Valjean. After hard times, he formed his values. Valjean's outlook changed because of the priest's redemption, and he finally released Javert just like the priest did to him back then. But one has since taken the right path, and the other has committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. The reason is that Valjean was reshaped by the priest when he had no values. He could abandon his previous life and start anew. Anyway, there was nothing to linger in his previous life. But Javert is different. He is the person with the most determined values in the whole play. When he is shaken by his own justice, there is no way to dismiss it as easily as Valjean.
Les Miserables, no matter how the struggle is back to its original point. In the end, Marius seemed to no longer resist the government, but lived happily with Cosette. He lived happily under the rule of the government that he had been determined to overthrow.
Trivia:
1. The plot of Fantine being attacked by a client is a real event seen by author Victor Hugo. He was on his way to the office when he saw a man harassing a prostitute. When she refused, the man grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed her into her clothes and pushed her to the ground. When she returned fire, the man called the police. Hugo already had a certain social status, so he helped the prostitute and the police to explain, which saved her from arrest. The incident shocked Hugo, he started to imagine what would happen if she had children, and the image of Fantine came to his mind.
