She gave her life for him. The greatest sacrifice of a True Lover. Eponine’s Love is the Truest Form.

Who knew she was capable of such,

All her life she wants to be the centre of

everything.

The abuse and hard living with her family.

For Eponine, Marius is life and love

Her only Hope.

She gave her life for him.

The greatest sacrifice of a True Lover.

Cossette unfortunately does not seem to be a person in real life. Eponine sounds more realistic than Cossette can ever be. Cossette seems to be like a useless fairy tales princess that needs to be protected 24/7. If Jean dies and she did not meet Marius than she would surely strave on the street, unlike Eponine and Gravoche. I agree with you. Cossette unfortunately does not seem to be a person in real life.

And it is especially heartbreaking when said character meets a tragic end, and it makes us wish that things had turned out differently for him or her. We appreciate a character's flaws because they make a person realistic and human, but we also savor the hope for their redemption, and their good qualities are even more significant to us. I think that despite the physical appearance he allotted her, Hugo wanted to portray Eponine as a very sympathetic character. He had a general sympathy for all poverty-strickened women, including prostitutes. And, like many romantics, he had her redemption come through love, which really is its ultimate form. The saddest part was that her love was not returned, and although we can understand why Marius was not attracted to her (and, in truth, somewhat repulsed by her), we are still upset by it. Well, some more than others, I suppose. ^^, Okay, end of philosophical rant.

When she first speaks to Marius she was sent to deliver a message and prostitute herself. The line that says something like "she looked at the unmade bed with a quiet sureness that chilled the heart". You honestly think that Thenardier, being as low and villainous as he is wouldn't sell his daughters' bodies for a few shillings... They were STARVING and already stealing to make ends meet.

First of all , she's actually never been a brat, she would have remained nice towards Cosette if her mother didn't interfere in their relationship and didn't treat Cosette like some kind of a tramp dog. Remember after her mother's departure, she's the one who proposed to Cosette to go and play with her and Azelma in their room. But the mother had other projects for this poor child. And children always act like their parents , they would never turn against them ( well, there're some exeptions like Gavroche but it's because he wasn't loved by his mother so it's not likely ). So they'd rather turn against Cosette. I could never blame Eponine for not being at Cosette's side. Because I'm sure I would do the same if I had her parents. As a child, my parents were an example for me. Would you rather be at the side of a girl you know practically nothing or at your parents'. It's an easy answer, don't you think ? And besides, haven't you noticed she has always been so kind with everybody exept Cosette . She just can't stand her and I believe she thinks Cosette steals away every boy she loves. Which is actually true. Cosette doesn't seem to realize herself the pain she's been always bringing Eponine. She made her suffer more than anybody else in spite of herself. But I suppose she's never realized it. Well, anyway, I've always considered Eponine like a very good person who didn't have the chance to have good parents . So, even as a child, I loved what she was like. And besides, poors were so often treated the way Cosette has been that it's just sounds kinda normal for those days. And, back then, Eponine and Azelma were just children. All children could be cruel . They're not an exception. But to give her life for her loved one is truely an exception. That really shows the kind of person who is really Eponine ( without considering her parents): someone with a great and big heart. When she loves someone she's able to give her live for him. And she even protected Cosette against her father knowing she's the one Marius loved. She didn't have to but she did. And that's what makes her even more exeptionnal in my eyes! Besides, when she was dying she had regrets she's never been too close to Gavroche. And that's what stroke me the most. I realized even better that her parents ( most of all her father but her mother too) were responsible of everything. And yes, she's just the best character ever for me!

The truth is, Eponine has a heart, she's just lived in a very bad environment all her life. The anime creators probably thought it best to make that more obvious, however, by making her more physically and in other ways appealing. By the way, the hooker issue comes from the fact that Thernadier hired out Eponine as a prostitute to bring in some extra money. Sadly, child prostitution was a real problem in those days. But if you were extremely poor, you had to do what you had to do. Morally wrong? Of course, but people sometimes resort to stealing in the same situation. (i.e. Valjean!) Of course, they do not include Eponine's prositution in the anime. (I don't even know how much they emphasize it in the book.) Come on, if they didn't have Fantine become a prostitute . . .

By the way, I know why she said to Marius to go to the barricades ( it wasn't precised in the anime , only in the book ) but even it is her fault that he happened to be there, it was quite brave from her to get the bullet which was intented for him. Don't you think ? And even if she slept with Montparnasse it doesn't really change my opinion about her. Sleeping with Montparnasse doesn't mean she's a hooker. Then her love for Marius changed her. True love can really change people's life. Remember, she used to say curse words before she met Marius! At the end, she reminds me of the little mermaid who would rather die herself than live knowing she's responsible of his death. At first, she thinks she may be able to kill the prince to save her own life but she realizes that she just can't do it. There's something like that in the way she dies. She's quite unstable in the book, for example when she refuses the money Marius gives her in exchange for leading him to the place Cosette lives in. She just throws it back to him and it falls on the ground. And when she hears Gavroche singing she says : " Don't say him I'm here .If you do, he's going to scold me ." It was indeed a sign of crazyness. But what I'm saying is that she is idealized in the anime. Don't you think so? I'm quite sure she is! She doen't speak at all like a half-crazy girl. They made her this way and it is obvious right away. There's something different if we compare her to her character in the book. What do you think ? I started to watch this serie nearly one year ago and I loved the way she's described there even if I like very much her character in the book too. I'm not the one who imagines her perfect because they represented her that way in the serie. Alright, I get it.

And especially in this serie. Don't talk about her that way! Her love for Marius is pure. I think that besides Toron , and she was very little by the time, Marius is her first and only love ( and the last one too). If it wasn't, she would not have died for him. Even in the book, she acts like a child sometimes and I just can't imagine her to look at other men. Besides, she lives with her parents by the time she meets Marius and her only real company seems to be Azelma. Even if she often has to face the gang of her father ( "the Patrominet"). Response to R

I agree with what you said too, the anime-Marius is really kinder to Eponine than in the book. He acts much like her friend . In the book, he obviously avoids her even knowing that his happyness is due to her and don't care about her death. In the anime, he doesn't want her to die and keep saying " hold on !"

Personally, I'm inclined to agree with R. Valjean's often described as viewing himself as Marius's rival for Cosette's affections, and after Cosette is married he doesn't really see a need to remain any longer. That said, if we're going to blame anyone for Valjean's isolation at the end of the book, we should probably look at Marius, who was definitely rather chilly toward him after he learned of Valjean's past.
