#2.3.4

In the Christmas market, there is a doll that is the wonder of every child in the town.

Cosette pauses on her way to fetch the water to contemplate this doll, who she believes to be fit only for a queen.

I’m not sure I have anything to say about these heart-breaking chapters, except that when I read them the first time, I thought Cosette’s story was very much like she was in a fairy tale here. We had the talk of treasure a couple of chapters before, now we have a little child living with a wicked stepmother like figure, who makes the child work around the house and abuses her. You know that according to the fairy tales, she should be rescued, there should be a happy ending but it still hurts seeing her in this position right now.

Cosette is acting very much like a traumatised child in this chapter and I appreciate Hugo writing her this way, and any adaptation that makes her completely saintly and perfect in these chapters is not doing justice to her character (I love Shoujo Cosette, but I still wish she had been allowed to be herself instead of a perfect little girl). I love her insistence that the horse has drunk its fill, she is trying to survive in these circumstances she is trying to fend for herself because nobody else will and in the only way she can, she is not a passive/submissive character, ‘there is a wildness and bravery about her’.  

It breaks my heart that the poor child comes out from under the table where she’s usually hiding to face these people and try her best to not be sent outside in the dark and dangerous world. It’s interesting that no one else stands up for her, from among the paying guests, it’s much like in the Bishop chapters, where the entire town does not help Valjean, here the entire town including the regular guests think asking about Cosette and her treatment at the hands of the Thenardiers is not their responsibility. The peddler too is so insistent on having his horse have a drink that he does not tell Madame Thenardier not to send Cosette to fetch water.   

I also hate that Madame Thenardier never addresses Cosette with her name and that the bucket itself is bigger than her, she is small even for a child of eight years because of the years of abuse and not being fed properly. Then the door is shut on the little child, left out there in the cold and the dark and I can’t wait for these chapters to be over honestly.

The night is empty, there is no light, nothing to guide poor baby Cosette. But she stops by a large doll she had seen, and it hurts that she thinks she would have to be someone so very different from herself and so very rich, to be able to have a doll. She is a child, yet there seems to be a touch of the grown up about her, living as she is with the awful Thenardiers. (I really want to adopt every child in the Thenardier household, take them away from their parents).

I do find it slightly cringe worthy that Hugo talks about little girls playing with a doll as part of the whole maternal/woman must be a mother to be venerated thing, but on the other hand, I can’t criticise it here, because any toy for Cosette is something that she has been deprived of, she has been deprived of a normal childhood and toys would have been a part of that. So it’s very natural for her to stop and stare at the stall and at the childhood she could have had or can imagine for herself.

In which Hugo is very much into found family. Like this whole fandom, so, really, he deserves us and vice versa.

I don't have much to say about the metaphysical and metaphorical aspects of this chapter, but I like that Hugo takes the time for them: that Cosette and Jean Valjean's mutual support is important, that their progress towards love matters. And, yes, I'm still petty enough to say it: everyone with decision-making roles in the BBC production needs to read this chapter at least ten times. 

Hugo also takes the time to describe the logistics of how JVJ rented the place and why it works so well as a hide out, and I appreciate that. Though, there is a small issue with timeline: he arrives in Montfermil Christmas Eve, stays the night at the inn, leaves for Paris with Cosette Christmas Day, spends the day zigzagging towards Paris by different conveyances, and arrives at the house that evening, with a lit fire and keys in pocket. But he also rented the room on Christmas Day? Does anyone know if "la journée de Noël" ever refers to the day of Christmas Eve instead of the 25th?

In which Cosette sees a wonderful doll. Mme Thénardier ruining the reverie for Cosette is unfortunately predictable, which makes the saddest part of the chapter (to me) not that Cosette's rare moment of joy is interrupted, but that she herself isn't in it. Cosette has so internalized her lowly and miserable state that she doesn't even imagine owning the doll, or playing with it, or dressing like it, or living a different life in which the doll would have a place. Her 8-year-old's imagination is so beaten down and her circumstances so circumscribed, that a doll in a market booth is the domain of royalty or even deity, and is too grand for her to even dream of. 

Stating for the record that Hugo describes the doll as having blond, real hair but does not explicitly connect it to Fantine. [Though, if that floats your boat, there is excellent revenge-crack-horror fic exploring the idea.]

Second appearance of the unnamed Montfermil schoolteacher: knowing only that he frequents the Thénardiers' tavern, I suspect he's not an exemplary moral character, and the whole 'get Boulatruelle drunk' stunt suggests he's not particularly concerned with other humans' privacy and agency.
