Victor Hugo created this child Cosette to portray the theme of how a woman gets ruined and devastated by the starvation of a healthy mind and body. Cosette was created out of love and treason, her mother, Fantine, loved Cosette’s father but he left her once the baby
was born. It also explains how her mother was also ruined by starvation and passed this starvation of love and money to her by leaving her alone in a stranger’s house in order to overcome the hunger. “Children at that age are only copies of their mother: the size is reduced, that is all. Years past and then another… they thought Cosette was forgotten by her mother” (Hugo 47). Cosette, left alone in that inn, was now considered an orphan with no father and just her mother’s alimony to the inn. She is also used to describe how she never had actual love, in some way she always lacked it or in a way was ignorant to it. I also believe Hugo used her to show how a child’s mind grows and how ignorance may turn into knowledge.
