Feeling Normal About Javert And Eponine Today

A Les Mis meme saying "girls when", with the second part of it edited so that it says "girls when ' It was Éponine. (...) Javert gazed askance at this body, and, profoundly calm, said in a low tone: “It strikes me that I know that girl.”

The image depicts poorly drawn stick figures violently biting each other, in pools of blood. They look feral
A poorly drawn meme of a person standing in a corner at a party while other people are dancing. The text says 'they don't  know Javert and Eponine 'trade deaths.' Eponine constantly talks about drowning herself in the Seine but is shot at the barricades, while Javert plans to be shot at the barricades but eventually drowns himself in the Seine
Pepe Silvia meme of a man standing in front of a conspiracy board gesturing wildly. There are two quotes from Les Mis on the board. The first is "Eponine said: I’m not the daughter of a dog, since I’m the daughter of a wolf. (….)If you approach, I’ll bark. I told you, I’m the dog."

The second quote is " in every litter of wolves there is one dog, which is killed by the mother because, otherwise, as he grew up, he would devour the other little ones. Give to this dog-son of a wolf a human face, and the result will be Javert."
Seinfeld meme. In panel one Jerry asks 'you're crying from Javert and Eponine?" In panel 2 George responds: Eponine is the “shadow” of Cosette in the way that Javert is the “shadow” of Jean Valjean. Eponine’s trauma parallels Javert’s, the way that Cosette’s trauma parallels Jean Valjean’s. Eponine is (like Javert) the child of criminals who turns against her parents to defend bourgeois society,  the way Cosette  (like Valjean) lived in dire poverty and was a ‘prisoner’ threatened with a whip. 

But being a cop has made Javert unable to care about people from his class-- so Eponine is never a child he can help, she’s just a criminal he can punish. Javert fails to save “his Cosette....” because he never even tried.

He sees Eponine’s corpse at the barricade and recognizes her-- he’s one of the few people in the novel who ever recognizes her!-- but he feels nothing.

“So You Have No Mother.” “I Don’t Know,” Answered The Child. Before The Man Had Time To Speak

“So you have no mother.” “I don’t know,” answered the child. Before the man had time to speak again, she added:— “I don’t think so. Other people have mothers. I have none.” And after a silence she went on:— “I think that I never had any.”

Javert logic:

“This woman flung herself on Monsieur Bamatabois, who is an elector and the proprietor of that handsome house with a balcony, which forms the corner of the esplanade, three stories high and entirely of cut stone. Such things as there are in the world!”
