“He is a man who does good by gunshots.”

The description of Jean Valjean’s marksmanship as “the shot which misses nothing and kills no one” has always stuck out to me as a metaphor for his character as a whole. He’s highly skilled at violence, but chooses to use his skills for pacifism instead. He fires a gun expertly,—but only to hit off soldier’s helmets or knock down furniture for the barricade, and never to kill. It’s similar to how he uses his ‘frightening’ convict strength to save Fauchelevent from under the cart. He’s very “Iron Giant”-like in the sense that he’s been ‘built’ for violence and is in a system that repeatedly tries to force him to be violent, but is determined to remain peaceful at any cost to himself; it’s about all the great “terrifying” power being used only for gentle pacifistic reasons….

"He smiled to avoid speaking, and gave to avoid smiling..."

Some thoughts on Cosette's fashion! I think it's really interesting that Cosette is meant to a bright joyful dawn-like character but she always dresses in black. The first dress she receives when she leaves the Thenardiers is a small black mourning gown, and I wonder if that has something to do with it. Anyway...Goth Cosette?
