Maruis doesn’t only portray an important theme in the novel Les Miserables, but he also changes the life of two important characters in the novel Eponine and Cosette. Marius falls in love with Cosette the girl who Jean saved from starvation and suffering. They fall in love and their love also makes both of them suffer after she is taken away by Jean. “Cosette: I had to run away, and it was like a dream/ I saw him once, the dream was true/I saw him once, and once will do!” (Love Montage/ I saw him once) when Cosette arrives to Marius life he changes .He was a lawyer but was also a revolutionary. As Cosette leaves, Marius becomes a member of the barricade in one of his fights he is saved by Eponine who takes a bullet for him. Eponine was madly in love with Marius but she knew Marius only had eyes for Cosette. Eponine is in the floor when Marius holds her and all Marius could say was “Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine I don't feel any pain You won't feel any pain A little fall of rain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me” (A Little fall of Rain)
