Happy Finale

Although Cosette had a difficult childhood and even teenage life, she got to overcome all her difficulties and starvations. Along with her father, Jean Valjean, who saved her from the terrible Thénardiers who made her their servant and where she suffered a lot, Cosette kept on with her life. She got education at the convent, and continued to read and be taught by Valjean after they left it. She was nurtured by Valjean in her times of hunger and coldness. Overcoming all these difficulties and falling in love with a man who had her in a pedestal, she got to live the life of a Madame. “She had Marius. The young man came and the good man faded away; such is life” (Hugo 346). Although her husband, Marius, replaced Jean Valjean, he still was condescending and gave Marius and his family, who were living in times of poverty, to overcome it by giving them his funds and then giving them the recipe to work to gain more money for their future life.
