#this means that enjolras could be from catalunya #somehow this makes sense for me #but I won't start ranting about it because I could be here forever with my silly little theories

Please do?

Okay, first of all, I want to clarify that's the story my silly little mind created

And now, the second thing, the dates

Enjolras died in 1832 and we don't know he's age, but he was in his early twenties (more or less, I guess).

So, Spanish XIX century was... Really something. But, around the time in which Enjolras was born, the Peninsulan War or Spanish independence war started (1808—1814)

If Enjolras was from Catalonia, he would have seen the french invading his country/province (if he was old enough to process something, bcs kids don't develop autobiographical memory until they are 3 years old).

Enjolras' dad would be supporting the french and Napoleon. Which is never the correct option. But I stand by the theory that said that Cosette and Enjolras have the same father. So, the fact that he's which the gabachos (french people) makes sense, bcs he studied in France

The thing is that the French lose the war and the new king (Fernando VII) comes back to Spain, ready to kill some people. And Enjolras' father would decide to move to Paris and our little leader in red would have to say goodbye to all his life, hating Napoleon and that mere excuse of a human being that was his father. And he took this anger and made something productive like learning about the new philosophical ideas, human rights and the revolution, and he decided to take that path

So, that's one of the reasons why Enjolras being from Catalonia is something that makes sense to me.

Also, one of the former presidents of Spain said once "I like people from Catalonia, they do things" and Enjolras did things (like dying).

Now, being a bit more serious, Catalonia has its own history of strikes and revolts. I'm not talking about the independence thing (don't want to discuss that), but the first general strike in Spain started there in 1855 and also there's the Tragic Week (1909), where people from Barcelona went against the conscription, among other things. And I think that's something that goes along pretty well with Enjolras' personality

I don't know if it makes sense, but now catalan Enjolras will live in my heart
