More so than any other character I’ve ever seen, Valjean is an idealist. He doesn’t seek fame or fortune, but rather a peaceful life where he can care for others. He defends Cosette to the grave, using his days to become a “better man” even though the crime he got imprisoned for was stealing a loaf of bread. Yep, that’s right.
2. Cosette INFP
From what we can see of Cosette, she’s a dreamer. She lived in her inner world during childhood, imagining a castle in the clouds where she would finally be happy. As a young woman, she saw Marius for the first time and immediately fell in love. She followed her heart, and in the end, it worked out for the better.
3. Marius ENFP
It’s a great GIF, I know. Marius, like Cosette and her father, is a dreamer. When he finds a cause that he resonates with, his passion shines through. He is a charismatic leader, but still tunes into his emotional side when necessary. His altruism and caring nature are what draw crowds to listen to him.
4. Éponine ISFP
This might just be due to her upbringing, but Éponine is extremely street-smart. She is emotional and shy, yet she hides these feelings behind a tough exterior. She marches to the beat of her own drums, showing her bravery when she leaves her father to join the barricades.
5. Javert ESTJ
If there’s one thing that defines Javert, it’s structure. He adheres to the rules no matter what, and is a sucker for order. That’s why he views Jean Valjean’s situation as black and white. He wants to deliver justice, and when he doesn’t, he is lost.
