Cosette is better than me because if my weirdo recluse father suddenly showed up with a massive, festering burn scar acting completely unconcerned and telling me to call a vet for him instead of a human doctor, I would have simply started killing.

#we talk about Valjean's saint-like qualities but what about Cosette man. that's a feat of mental strength.#also I'm reading the Donougher translation and I presume 'dog-doctor' means something like a vet? truly wild.#Valjean's wretched self-image strikes again #brick completion sprint #anyway Victor Hugo really set out to hurt me with the Jvj & Cosette dynamic in the chunk that I read today..#the bit abt why he hates Marius + the chain gang + the wound back to back to back?? evil. i am unwell.#cosette fauchelevent #jean valjean #les miserables
