Hot take: by the time Hugo picked Les Mis back up in 1860 to finish it, I don't think he intended for Marius and Cosette's marriage to be a good or happy one.
#I just got home after being out of my house nearly fourteen hours
#and it is past my bedtime with a very early start intended for tomorrow
#but the gist of the argument is that Fantine was the best of us — the French empire under Bonaparte!
#and Cosette as Hugo was writing her in 1848 was intended to be the extension of that progress!
#and Marius in Bonapartism!
#(and then you have the amis who are different levels of supporters of Robespierre and Babeuf and maybe even Lafayette a little)
#different political philosophies and directions of taking France
#and by 1860 when Hugo was picking up at Blotter Talks
#he was fully aware that Actually returning to the Bonaparte line kinda sucked and so did that dick NIII
#who forced Hugo to flee to England where he had to (gasp) listen to people speak God's imperfect middle child language English
#and he was like ''actually Cosette marrying Marius isn't all it's cracked up to be
#idk I'm probably missing a ton of crucial context and background that will easily swat down this theory
