#Fantine's Arrest

[ueinra]

Les Misérables, French Comic by Gaston Niezab (1947)

There’re two types of people here:

normal people who enjoy watching a woman destroy an immoral man and asshole COPS

tell me quickly whats the story who saw what and why and where! let him give a full description! let him answer to javert!

Watching another high school Les Mis and I ran into the oddest lyric change in Fantine’s Arrest. Y’all know Javert’s line “let him give a full description, let him answer to Javert.” Well this production switched “him” to “them” for some reason. Like I’m all for inclusivity, but this is not the character you want to showcase that with. This scene is literally a perfect example of the ways Fantine is at a disadvantage when it comes to conflicts with the law. She’s a poor sex worker in the early 19th century. Her side of the story was never going to be heeded. This is why the pronoun switch confuses me. It implies a certain level of impartiality on Javert’s part that simply is not present. He immediately takes Bamatabois‘s word and uses that to justify arresting Fantine. Javert wasn’t looking for just any well meaning witness to speak up, he defaulted to listening to the “respectable” man. His closed-mindedness is kinda the point.

how many aura points would I loose for posting my art with a Tangent about where I am in the brick (tm) because I'm scared my friends won't hear me about it

[ueinra]

No adaptations appreciate the way Fantine hits Bamatabois like the comics :

And I’ll add Arai Manga too bc as always it has everything :

Bonus to make your day better <3

I don't think it's in the book (but I could be wrong), but the scene in Les Misérables (2000) where Javert stops at Thénardier's and sees how a little girl (i.e. Cosette) is treated and asks her if she's happy there and if she likes it there, and she robotically answers "Yes, sir." because that's what she's been taught, and Javert just taking it at face value is so sad :(

and then when Javert gets back, he tries to send Fantine to prison because of the guy who beat her up...

Les Mis Art Request: something related to 'Stars' maybe?

I'll be honest. Javert's little tunes are kinda my favorite 🖤

[bardengarde]

I fell behind in les mis letters and don't actually know where I'm supposed to be at bc I never officially subscribed to the substack, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

[ineffable-gallimaufry]

shoujo cosette is getting me hooked by having every main javert plot moment be split between two episodes
