Let them fend for themselves. So much the worse for them. Life persists inside them, suspended as it were. Is it not the bourgeois being stunned to see that even after all this time of ignorance, there is still yet a place for them in this march towards progress, that the revolution still accepts them, and does so smiling?
Thoughts return to him with sudden lucidity. One more thing. Never not emotional about the international Valjeans at the end of the 10th Anniversary Concert. In the end, Fantine dies wishing that she could see her daughter one last time. But she never gets to have this wish fulfilled. Fantine is like the counter-story to Valjean. They both break society's rules in order to survive—he steals some bread; she has a love affair—and, instead of getting help back on their feet, they're punished all out of proportion to the offense.
Valjean manages to overcome his lapse, but only by taking on a new identity. Fantine, who has a kid as physical proof of her "sin," is out of luck. One mistake, and she's doomed forever, even though she works hard and tries to become respectable again. If you feel really depressed by the time you're done reading about Fantine, you're supposed to. It's fairly clear that when Victor Hugo named this book "The Miserable Ones," he had people in Fantine in mind—and he wants us to think about what we can do to make sure that people like her don't slip through the cracks.

Answer and Explanation: While some characters in Les Miserables meet terrible ends, such as Cosette's mother and Marius' brothers-in-arms, the main characters receive as happy an ending as can be expected for people in their circumstances. Jean Valjean saves Marius' life, and Marius and Cosette are reunited. Is Jean Valjean in love with Cosette?
Except for Cosette, that is, except for a child, Jean Valjean had never, in all his long life, known anything about love. In short, and we have insisted on this more than once, this whole inner fusion, this whole set, the result of which was lofty virtue, had wound up making Jean Valjean a father for Cosette. What happens to Cosette in Les Mis? Rescued by Jean Valjean, who raises Cosette as if she were his own, she grows up in a convent school.
She falls in love with Marius Pontmercy, a young lawyer. Cosette Born How old was Fantine when she had Cosette? Differences in the musical In the novel, they are together for three years, and Cosette is already two years old when Fantine is abandoned.
Did Felix know Fantine had a baby? And it wasn't clear at this point that Fantine had had the baby, so I figured Felix just didn't know she was pregnant, but no! She goes home and takes the baby back from her landlady and cries, of course, while I mentally call Felix every name in the book for totally ditching both Fantine AND his child. What did Jean Valjean die of? Given that Jean Valjean was exerting himself at the point at which he died, it seems reasonably likely that the primary symptom of death was heart failure.
Wikipedia lists this reason from the musical which the film is based on as: At a convent, Valjean awaits his death, having nothing left to live for.
