“when emma falls in love” is the certified emma carstairs song

[emmcarstairs]

Can I just say how much I love the way Emma falls in love with Julian? And how it's not even falling in love, she discovers that she's been in love all along. She looks at him and sees not someone otherworldly, she sees Jules. The boy who's always been there, the smile she's seen a million times, the hands she knows more than her own. It's all familiar to her. And that is what makes him unique. He's unique in his familiarity. There's nothing inherently special about him, it's a sum total of all that he is.

Brickclub 4.13.1 ‘From the Rue Plumet to the Quartier Saint-Denis’

Marius is standing in the Rue Plumet ready to die, and the person who comes to meet him there isn’t Cosette but Eponine.

Where to even start with that.

There’s the fact that I think I he really might have killed Cosette and himself out of love, but Eponine he didn’t recognize, and he wouldn’t have cared enough about her to shoot her. Though she’s planning to die with him anyway.

There’s the way Hugo happens to mention that Marius has the two pistols on him, after he leaves the garden, YES, HADN’T FORGOTTEN THEM, THANKS.

But also, this belated mention of them feels a little like the belated mention last chapter about how the police are pretty sure about who Le Cabuc was? It’s the evidence presented after the crime, and the crime was so subtle (Javert saying nothing about Claquesous; Marius maybe coming to shoot Cosette) that the evidence presented afterwards is the closest thing we have to a hint that a horrific moral wrong came near us.

What does it mean to look for Cosette and find Eponine? That happens to Marius a lot, and he’s always insultingly annoyed about it even when he isn’t being cruel. But this is the first time she’s had the upper hand--instead of going away hurt, she goes away successful in making him do what she wanted. Her ability to manipulate events here is pretty close to supernatural.

But what does it MEAN to look for Cosette and find Eponine? If Cosette is the republican future of France.... I don’t know, I don’t like the way that positions Eponine as the.. tawdry knock-off version? But also, that isn’t how the text sees Eponine--she’s a person who could have been lovely and happy, and her father and circumstances fucked her over; I do feel like there’s a lot to do there with the short-lived republic after the Revolution of 1848, destroyed in its infancy by Napoleon III’s coup and dictatorship. But also... what on earth does that have to do with leading Marius to the barricade now? He certainly stays on the symbolic putting-NIII-in-power path until the end of this book via giving Thenardier the money, the way Hugo gave money to NIII. But there’s a feeling of following the wrong person to the barricade, which dovetails nicely with his wrong purpose for going.

Marius thinks Eponine’s voice is the voice of destiny. I guess that’s largely about the supernatural thing Eponine has become, but it might also be a little bit about the connection between them that’s been there all along, that means so much to her and that makes him perpetually a massive asshole to her, as if cruelty can make the connection not be there.

And, Eponine is heavily linked with fatality by now. Marius hears the voice of fatalité and thinks it sounds like destiny. Because of course he does.

But we also see the two lost horses and hear how they don’t understand what men are doing any more than men understand what Providence is doing. So, there’s room left for the idea that maybe it’s Providence and not fatality that’s leading Marius where he’s going.

The barricade to Marius is such a sordid, horrible thing? This section is called “Marius Enters the Shadow” and it’s a literal massive shadow--the streets have no lights, and Hugo has gorgeous descriptions of Marius feeling his way through the pitch black for blocks and blocks. (And we see Marius’s paradoxical indomitability here, making his way through impossible crowds and impossible darkness, recognizing every street in Paris while absolutely blind.)

But for most people at the barricade, it’s about dawn and light. And for Marius it emphatically isn’t.

So what IS the barricade for Marius?

Providence disguised as fatality, maybe. But we’ll have to see.
