Discussion prompts:

1. It turns out that Éponine orchestrated everything to separate Marius and Cosette. What do you think of this? Do you think she is vile, or is this to be expected from someone who receives little love?
2. Marius keeps Gavroche out of danger. What do you think of the sense of indebtedness that Marius still has for the Thénardiers despite everything they’ve done to him, most of which he is aware of?
3. Marius seems to not care that he’s about to die despite knowing that Cosette does love him. Do you think he is resolute at fighting for the cause?
4. Other points of discussion? Favorite lines?

Final line:

"It is barely midnight, the Rue de l'Homme Arme is not far off; I will go and deliver the letter at once, and I shall get back in time."
