Victor Hugo's description of Fouché in his novel "Quatrevingt treize" (Ninety-Three) :

"Fouché, soul of a demon, face of a corpse".

Damn.

I think the great thing about seeing Enjolras as the personification of Revolution is that as logical and cruel as he can be, he is still caring, he doesn't enjoy violence, he's capable of so much empathy and forgiveness...

If revolution were to be a person, I think it's so beautiful to think of them as compassionate.

In the year 1789, Robespierre wrote:

Do you know why there are so many indigents? It's because you hold all the wealth in your greedy hands. Why are this father, this mother, these children exposed to all the rigours of the weather, without a roof over their heads, suffering all the horrors of hunger? It's because you inhabit sumptuous houses to which your gold attracts everything which can serve your flabbiness and occupy your idleness. It's because your luxury devours the sustenance of a thousand men in a single day.

But, over two century later, this relates and resonates with us completely. We study history in order to recognize injustice and fight it. This was written in the eve of a revolution that would've changed the world. Revolutions are bound to happen, we just have to be ready, and to do so we have to be educated.

I love the fact that Gavroche broke a street lamp in front of our wifey Valjean and he did nothing to stop him. Worse, he encourages him to break all the street lamps if it makes him happy.
