Let me say, Thénardier has a terrible track record when it comes to confirming death among the Pontmercy family.

Reading Victor Hugo’s rant about how the crowd frequently mistakes success for merit. 5 years ago, I remarked that it reminded me of criticisms of the internet & reality TV. Today it seems even more widely applicable.

Barricade Day Tweets
Barricades were so popular in June 1832 that 27 sprang up in an hour in one district alone.
Courfeyrac realizes he left his hat at home and runs in to grab it as the procession walks past.
Grantaire just wants to get drunk. Too bad they set up the barricade outside his chosen bar.
Marius just wants to die. Conveniently, his friends are about to stand in front of a lot of bullets.
I cringed at “Who’s There?” “The French Revolution!” Turns out it’s actually in the book.
Marius “deathwish” Pontmercy arrives guns blazing & saves the day…then sinks back into depression.
After weeks, Valjean finally catches on to what his daughter has been up to in the evenings.
Combeferre and Bossuet start geeking out over artillery when the soldiers bring out a cannon.
Day 2: Cosette hasn’t read the news & wonders why people are slamming doors so early in the morning.
Javert is the first person at the barricade to actually recognize Éponine, or that she’s a woman.
Javert is rather embarrassed that Valjean didn’t just kill him, and says so. #Tact
“You are robbing Hell of its pavements!” “That is why our barricade is built of good intentions.”
Grantaire wakes up as a firing squad is about to shoot Enjolras. He doesn’t want to be left out.

You can give Valjean a happy ending…if you stop early. Otherwise, it would be untrue to the character.

Cosette: “there won’t be any more of this “Madame – Monsieur Jean” nonsense, we’re a republic and we call each other tu, don’t we, Marius?”

Cosette:“I won’t allow you to spend another day in this horrible place.” Valjean:“Certainly I shan’t be here tomorrow.” He’ll be a grave man

“The words murderer and thief, which Marius had thought disposed of, came like a cold douche.” Yes, Thénardier is a douche.

Interesting switch: Thenardier makes a point of showing printed evidence, because it’s so much harder to forge than handwritten evidence.

“You mean that you’re no longer my father? You’ll be telling me next that I’m not Cosette!” Well, technically, you’re not… *Euphrasie*

No, Valjean, the matter of where Cosette’s trust fund came from isn’t unimportant. It’s a matter of life and death. Yours, actually.
