Love in Les Miserables
Through his characters in the book Les Miserables Victor Hugo develops the idea that love is the most important and powerful force against the difficulties of life. The book Les Miserables takes place in post revolutionary France where there is still fighting for a government that will be fair to all of Frances people, not just the rich ones. Jean Valjean will be used as an example of how love conquers all because he never knew what love was until he met and took care of Cosette. Marius will be used because he too never knew real love, and was willing to throw away his life if he couldn't have his true love. Then lastly Eponine is an example because after all that she went through she found love, but when she realized she couldn't have it she was almost willing to kill for it.When Jean Valjean became a free man after 19 years in the galleys for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving brothers and sisters, and also numerous escape attempts, he finds himself in a small town called M---- sur M----. After doing a bunch of good deeds for the town he became mayor. There he met a dying prostitute named Fantine, who stayed with him while she was dying. On her deathbed she asked a favor of JVJ, sh
" 348This was a young mans voice but resembled Eponine's. Soon after Marius and Cosette fell in love JVJ decided he wanted to move. But after a few months of not seeing her, he saw her again and she had blossomed into a beautiful woman and right there he fell madly in love with her. But he would always go to the park where he first saw her to watch her. Gillenormand's approval and JVJ knew he had to give up Cosette once and for all. Or it can be so cruel that if it doesn't go your way you could lose the urge to live. One day when he went to watch her he found a handkerchief that she dropped and said " I feel her whole soul in it!"285This proves Hugo's theory about love being the most powerful force in the world because this statement suggests that Marius is so in love with Cosette that he can actually feel her life force just through an object that she had used. This proves that if two people love each other enough that in a passionate moment nothing else really matters. But soon they moved away from the Luxembourg so she never got to talk with him. Then Cosette got worried because JVJ missed coming to her house and went to his, and found him dying, so she called a doctor. They felt neither the fresh night nor the cold stone nor the damp ground nor the wet grass. e asked if he would go and get her daughter Cosette and bring her back to see her one last time. Then on the other side of the coin JVJ felt bad because Cosette would not tell him what was wrong so he had no way of helping her. "327 This means that after everything they went through together they still could not talk to each other about their problems and in the process were also hurting each other without even knowing it. Eponine is also an example of Victor Hugo's theory that love can overcome everything even commonsense.
