Interesting Les Mis Fact #7

Contrary to what fanfiction would have you believe, Azelma was only a year younger than Eponine.

Im returning to my eponine obssesion era

I let out a gasp at today's title; I had forgotten how fast all the deaths come (Bahorel, Jehan and now Éponine!) I wanna focus on Éponine:

Éponine's humanization

The last we saw Éponine named was in 4.8.3, facing off Patron-Minette. There, she is reduced to a multitude of animals: a dog, a daughter of a wolf. And here, just before her identity is revealed, she is referred to by 'it' pronouns, once again comparing her to something less-than-human:

It was crawling along the pavement. It was this that had spoken to him.

What a frightening and horribly sad image! Thankfully, once she says her name, she is humanized once more- giving her back her proper pronouns as well as giving her the agency to tell Marius to not go, to let her stay here and die in his lap. Not a very happy choice, but it's a choice that she gets to make for herself!

Though her choice to die (and to call Marius down to the barricades) is troubling, we cannot hate her for it after seeing how extremely messed up and tragic her life and death are, hence The Agony of Death after the Agony of Life. Though the agony most certainly refers to how miserable Éponine's entire life story has been, I think it can also refer to how agonising her choices have been to live and die: the agony of having to commit crimes just to live, and the agony of resorting to calling your friend down to both of your deaths in the hopes of reuniting in the afterlife, for it is the only way you believe you can be happy. Ultimately, this decision still humanizes Éponine despite her cold intentions: it shows how much she loves and dreams of Marius, to the point of desperation, portraying her as someone very human.

Overall, Éponine manages to bow out of the story with a very touching scene. Readers are reminded of just how human she was, even living in such desperate poverty, and Hugo makes a good choice letting her final words be one of an innocent-like love confession: in the end, no matter her actions or her life, she is still defined by her yearning for love. And we the readers are left to lament and reflect at how such a girl - so full of the potential to love - can be pushed to such a state. o7 Éponine, for such beautifully haunting final words.

Enjolras, a small, white man with long, golden hair, blue eyes and a few freckles, is standing on a ladder and trying to dust something above his head. He’s wearing a red shirt and headscarf and black shorts. A white cat is leaning on the first step of the ladder, looking at him. The background is blue-grey.
Grantaire, a tan man with black curls, green eyes and a five o’clock shadow, is laying on the floor and cleaning one paintbrush in a pot of water. He’s wearing a green hoodie splattered with paint, blue jeans, and mismatched socks (green and orange). The background is old rose.
Feuilly, a white man with orange curls, yellow eyes and a lot of freckles, is sweeping the floor. He’s wearing a way too big black shirt with a stop sign on it and “don’t” and “me now” written around it. The shirt is tied on the side. He’s wearing jeans and blue flip flops. He’s holding a broom that causes dust clouds to rise, and he’s smoking a cigarette. There’s a small trashcan beside him. The background is solid blue.
Courfeyrac, a chubby, brown-skinned man with dark brown eyes and curls, is hanging up clothes (white underpants with red polka dots, orange socks, a lavender shirt).

He has two tattoos : roses of different colors on his arm, and a koi fish on his leg. One one hand, he’s holding a watering can, and he’s holding a small white cat with the other. The plant has large green leaves, and there’s a sticker that says “I am a triffid” on the flowerpot. The background is a very dark blue circle.

Marius, a white man with short black hair and a lot of freckles, is standing, holding a bottle with a stunned expression. He's wearing a pink crop top with "be a bitch" written on it, too big sweatpants and yellow crocs. The bottle is red with a label that says "St Just for spotless, bloodless floors". Behind him, a washing machine is on. The background is blue-grey.
Bossuet, a black man, bald, with dark blue eyes, is leaning on his mop broomand sighing, looking at a spilled bucket of water.

There’s a red laundry detergent bottle with “St-Just, lave plus rouge que rouge” on it. The background is dark red.
Claquesous, a white man with long, white hair gathered in a bun and ice blue eyes, is sitting beside a box with “masks” written on it. He’s wearing black sweats, purple socks and a white mask.

Babet, a white man with greying brown hair cropped short and brown eyes, is sitting cross-legged on the floor, smoking a cigarette.

The background is light grey-brown.
Fantine, a black woman with short, golden hair, black eyes and a few wrinkles, is holding a tiny pink dress and sighing and smiling. She's wearing a yellow dress, a purple headband, and pearl earrings. The box in front of her is marked "Cosette's clothes", and she's surrounded by clothes on the floor. The background is light blue.
Myriel, a white old man with a crown of white hair, blue eyes and wrinkles, is sitting at a table and polishing silver candlesticks. He's wearing religious garb in black with a red belt and a red hat, and green carpet slippers. On the table is a jar of "Saint-Just" polishing cream. The background is light yellow-brown.
A super-deformed drawing of Javert and Valjean from les Miserables, making their bed. Valjean, a man with tan skin, white hair and beard, and brown eyes, is patting a pillow and humming. He's wearing a green shirt and pants. On the other side of the bed, Javert, a tall man with brown skin, black long hair and sideburns, and black eyes, is holding a comforter with a duvet cover halfway put. A cat is sitting on the comforter, licking its paw. There are two other cats (one orange, one orange and white) on the bed, snuggling together, a third one (black and white) getting ready to pounce on them, and a fourth one (solid black) on the floor in front of the bed. The comforter is purple, pink, yellow and white. The bedspread is blue, with golden stars. The background is light green.

Aaaaand there they are, all of them ! Can you believe it took me more than one year to do all that, starting with the sketches !

I love them all ! but I think my favourite is probably the Jehan one.
