what do you mean grantaire chose to stay and die with enjolras? that the idealist and the cynic died hand in hand, smiling at each other? that they found the meaning, the cause, their purpose together and in love as they died fighting a doomed war? what do you mean the people of paris turned their backs on enjolras' fight but grantaire fought by his side till his last breath, simply because it was his side??????
my favorite part of les mis is when enjolras and grantaire walk home holding hands after winning the final barricade fight and that evening valjean invites everybody over for dinner in celebration and javert shows up and helps cut the turkey
being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.
on tragic heroes and the people who'd follow them anywhere.
