Hugo broke my heart with today's chapter. That the proud Baron Pontmercy - a man willing to flaunt the Restoration's government to his own peril - gave up his child and his happiness so that Marius might be well cared for is just heartbreaking.
I've harped before on how Les Mis shows so many forms of love (and other people have too it's a common theme) but I love how Hugo show's us that even the deepest love does not always bring happiness. And not in the way that Valjean risked prison in a desperate bid for his family to survive. Baron Pontmercy submitted himself to a very different kind of unhappiness. And in this case he knew that the success of his endeavor would bring him unhappiness.
And then also, the mention of unforseen casualties. "But [Baron Pontmercy] submitted to them, thinking that he was doing right and sacrificing himself alone." He resigned himself to his own unhappiness without realizing the depths of Marius' that would come from this decision. But can we blame a father for wanting the best for his son? Can we say that the decision was wrong? I truly don't know. And it's heartwrenching.
Lastly the contrast between Pontmercy's great exploits (which feel so grand as to be comical) and the quiet anguish of his furtive glimpses of his son:
"Every two or three months the colonel would escape, come furtively to Paris like a fugitive from justice breaking his ban, and go to Saint-Sulpice [...] There, tremling lest the aunt might turn around, concealed behind a pillar, motionless, not daring to breathe, he saw his child."
"This man gazing upon his child, and the scar on his cheek, and the tears in his eyes. This man, clearly manly, but who wept like a woman."
"And the father would answer with very tender letters, which the grandfather shoved into his pocket without reading."
â...and who walked across that beautiful stone bridge â which, with luck, will soon be succeeded by some hideous iron cable bridge...â Gosh Hugo, tell us how you really feel about modern architecture.
In other news, I am so glad to be reading about a character I like, even if itâs just for a brief interlude. And boy howdy do the Bishop parallels come back in full force. In many ways, Georges will become to Marius what Myriel is to Valjean -- a shining moral beacon showing him a new path. And, much like Valjean, Marius tends to, uh, adhere on the side of overkill when following that path. But weâll get to that. For now, we have an old man with a worldly past tending his garden and finding solace in its beauty.
Unlike the Bishop, however, we get an exhaustive recap of Georgesâ military career. He was brave and skilled and made quite a name for himself, and his loyalty to Napoleon eventually unmade everything he had accomplished in the eyes of the authorities. But Hugo, who loves himself a good moral principle -- see, the convent digression -- finds that just as honorable as the rest.
We also get the full story behind how Marius ended up with Gillenormand. This will be important later, when we watch Marius learn what we have just learned, but for now itâs heartbreaking in the same way watching Fantine send money to the Thenardiers is heartbreaking. They both thought they were only sacrificing themselves so that their children could be happy, and it turns out that their children werenât even that. (I forget sometimes how strong the Marius-Cosette parallels are. No wonder theyâre so well suited for each other.)
Georges Pontmercy is introduced to us as a completely different man to what the rumours in the salons were talking about him. What is said about men, does play a role in how they are thought of, indeed.Â
He is a bent, aged old man with prematurely white hair- it does in some way remind me of Valjean and the way he was introduced as an ordinary traveller. It is interesting that he has been introduced to us, not in terms of his military achievements but through his cultivation of flowers and his relationship with the garden.
His devotion to his flowers speaks of a nurturing nature, similar to Valjean, who was also very good at growing things in the garden. Georges focuses himself on the âuseless and beautifulâ because he is an outcast in society- shunned by the bourgeois society when we meet him.Â
Since he cannot have the necessary, which would be his child and his income, he must have the beautiful to live on. I think this seems to also be a recurring theme with Hugo, there is importance in aesthetic beauty/in art/in flowers- it makes our lives richer. He does not want to dismiss that role. Even the gamin concerned themselves with the beautiful, having been denied the necessary. The garden has been a consistent motif throughout, since the bishopâs time and it is no surprise that Georges is also cultivating a garden from which the others benefit by seeing beauty which brightens up their day. Â
Georges dedicates his time completely to his garden and nurtures flowers like he would children, he seems to also have some comparisons to maternal love/motherhood since he delights in seeing children and thinks about his own child and replies to his letters in a loving tone.
âA man who looked so much the man yet wept like a woman.â
It is interesting that Hugo brings this androgyny into play, even with Valjean taking care of Cosette, he was both father and mother but also described more in terms of a mother. Â
He is also in the true Pontmercy fashion shy and dreamy and has very few friends â Abbe Mabeuf being the only one besides the poor. It is interesting that the soldier should be friends with the priest â religion and politics intermingling again maybe. The priest and soldier will also be part of the description of another character later.Â
âFundamentally they are the same man. One has served the country in this world; the other has served the country that will be his in the next world.â
We have examples of his military prowess as well, he was a capable fighter- Hugoâs feelings about his fatherâs military career under Napoleon, must have also played a role in the many achievements of the Colonel, there does seem to be heroic bravery on the side of the colonel and Hugo seems to depict it all fondly as well. Â
Although, maybe Georges seems to aspire to a bourgeois lifestyle or at least want one for his son, because he could have lived on half-pay, his situation is not completely like Fantineâs.Â
He did not need to give up his son, although I can see that he may have wanted to have him grow up in luxury and with a bourgeois upbringing. The only thing is that Gillenormand doesnât even have money of his own to give as we saw in the last few chapters, the money that Marius will inherit really belongs to Mademoiselle Gillenormand. I donât understand why he couldnât just come to an arrangement with Mademoiselle Gillenormand instead of bowing to the non-existent pressure from the grandfather, which is more of Gillenormand wanting Marius for his own whims- because he is the heir, he is his daughterâs child rather than due to any feeling or love or sacrifice.
I think someone mentioned in one of their posts but all he does is introduces Marius to the eighteenth century and makes him fearful of the nineteenth and Marius only knows what is said about his father rather than knowing about his father.
We have another estranged family here, we saw the Gorbeau House, where the father did not want to have anything to do with the son and here the father has to give up the son. The grandfather takes on the role without bringing love/maternal kindness to it.
