why is her character so sad?
At the moment not that much more as what we put on her page. (I really have to read the book again haha). But you can always look at the wikipedia page, I'm sure you'll find some more information on there.
I know she died of untreated tuberculosis, but everyone knows that.
Sorry if I'm interrupting but I think there's a reason why she died, and yeah she has tuberculosis but haven't you guys noticed the death patterns in the other characters other than Fantine? Think about it... and the other characters.
Am I the only one who noticed that? That they die when their dreams/goals are never accomplished.
You are completely right! I never really thought about that
And you are completely free to interrupt, this is a general discussion board :)
I read this last night and it killed me to read it::
I'm still on the part where Valjeanis heading to Arras, so don't spoil anything!
fantine was 27 when she died and she kinda makes sure the other characters keep crossing paths because they are all using her, helping her, abusing her and arresting her
How old was Cosette when Fantine died? If Fantine was 27, then Cosette must have been very young when her mom died.
Well, not exactly very young. Cosette was seven or eight years old when Fantine died.
