thinking so hard about Éponine today

[a-roseinmisery]

I'm feeling a little insane about Javert recognising Éponine at the barricade, whereas the people who should actually know and care about her repeatedly fail to recognise her!!!

here's her own father, Thénardier, not recognising her (4.8.4):

At the same moment, he perceived a pale girl standing before him. The man underwent that shock which the unexpected always brings. He bristled up in hideous wise; nothing is so formidable to behold as ferocious beasts who are uneasy; their terrified air evokes terror. He recoiled and stammered:— “What jade is this?” “Your daughter.” It was, in fact, Éponine, who had addressed Thénardier.

and here's Marius not recognising her (4.14.6):

The fire-pot allowed him to distinguish a blouse, torn trousers of coarse velvet, bare feet, and something which resembled a pool of blood. Marius indistinctly made out a pale head which was lifted towards him and which was saying to him:— “You do not recognize me?” “No.” “Éponine.”

but Javert, who knows her only as a juvenile delinquent he's arrested before—Javert recognises her, even after she's dead.

Javert gazed askance at this body, and, profoundly calm, said in a low tone: “It strikes me that I know that girl.”

I would also venture to say that the fact he brings it up at all, especially at such a critical moment (he's literally about to be shot as far as he knows), illustrates that he is actually bothered by this on some level.

(this train of thought was prompted by @secretmellowblog's excellent post about Javert + Éponine parallels)

Most Unhinged Brick Moment Tournament

Hello, Les Miserables fans! :D

Welcome to the Most Unhinged Brick Moment tournament!!

I'm currently reading the brick, and every time I open it, I seem to find another chaotic event happening, and I was curious as to what would happen if we pitted them against one another!

But I need some help finding them, so here I have a handy dandy little submissions form, so y'all can tell me what you think is the most unhinged moment in the book!

Since this is a busy time of year for many people (including myself), I'll keep the submissions open through December, and the first of the polls will roll out in early January.

Please reblog to get word out!

i really do think a lot about the theme of fantine's love sustaining cosette even when cosette doesn't fully remember her. fantine's love for cosette sending valjean to her. valjean's love for cosette being the redemptive force at the heart of the story. i'm a wreck i'm a mess

[ID: A digital drawing of Grantaire from Les Miserables. He is leaning back on a chair, one leg on a table with a spilled wine bottle on it. He is gesturing with both hands, one of which is also holding wine. He is smiling with a speech bubble coming from him that says, “lmao snowflake.” End ID.]
