Combeferre.
How do you think, could Combeferre blame himself for not being quick enough to rescue Jehan? Could he think that if they didn't spend so much time seeking Jehan among the dead and hurt, they would have saved him? They would have had more time to get Javert and let guards see that they had their man kept and so they could have done an exchange and Jehan would be back with them.
As long as Hugo describes Combeferre as guide who is a bit softer than antic-statue-Enjolras and is more humane, I think he would have such dilemma. Combeferre was a MEDICAL student in the end, he was supposed to save lives and yet he just has been watching his dearest friends die. Of course he was ready to stand for their philosophy and political views, of course Combeferre, being egoistic, was ready to sacrifice himself, but was he really ready to what the revolutionares got in the final? He is the one of the most responsible men in Les Amis, he has taken responsibility or something like that but was he truly ready to not be able to control what's going on, not be able to save people as a medic, as a doctor? He would gladly sacrifice himself but maybe he couldn't stand the thought of his friends doing the sacrifice. That's not what Enjolras was telling him. So.. In my opinion, Combeferre could have had this blame on him. If he survived, he would definitely have the survival guilt, he would have terrible nightmares and, maybe, he would spend all his life healing people trying to get a redemption for what he has done or what he has not done. In other way, he would live for some time and then try to do everything to join his friends in heaven. Would he miss Courfeyrac? Of course. We still don't know if Courf has died in front of Ferre, so.... The way Hugo describes their death leaves it all up to interpretation. How do you think?
