Marius

here's her own father, Thénardier, not recognising her (4.8.4):

At the same moment, he perceived a pale girl standing before him. The man underwent that shock which the unexpected always brings. He bristled up in hideous wise; nothing is so formidable to behold as ferocious beasts who are uneasy; their terrified air evokes terror. He recoiled and stammered:— “What jade is this?” “Your daughter.” It was, in fact, Éponine, who had addressed Thénardier.

and here's Marius not recognising her (4.14.6):

The fire-pot allowed him to distinguish a blouse, torn trousers of coarse velvet, bare feet, and something which resembled a pool of blood. Marius indistinctly made out a pale head which was lifted towards him and which was saying to him:— “You do not recognize me?” “No.” “Éponine.”

but Javert, who knows her only as a juvenile delinquent he's arrested before—Javert recognises her, even after she's dead.

Javert gazed askance at this body, and, profoundly calm, said in a low tone: “It strikes me that I know that girl.”

I would also venture to say that the fact he brings it up at all, especially at such a critical moment (he's literally about to be shot as far as he knows), illustrates that he is actually bothered by this on some level.

The Miserables Month: #12 Lantern

Hello, Les Miserables fans! :D

Welcome to the Most Unhinged Brick Moment tournament!!

I'm currently reading the brick, and every time I open it, I seem to find another chaotic event happening, and I was curious as to what would happen if we pitted them against one another!

But I need some help finding them, so here I have a handy dandy little submissions form, so y'all can tell me what you think is the most unhinged moment in the book!

Since this is a busy time of year for many people (including myself), I'll keep the submissions open through December, and the first of the polls will roll out in early January.

[ID: A digital drawing of Grantaire from Les Miserables. He is leaning back on a chair, one leg on a table with a spilled wine bottle on it. He is gesturing with both hands, one of which is also holding wine. He is smiling with a speech bubble coming from him that says, “lmao snowflake.” End ID.]

"so much of the pleasure of having a cat is getting to watch this creature make decisions that will always be at leas partially inscrutable to you. it's such a pleasure, inexhaustibly fascinating because cats can't speak or explain. like why did you go over there".
