okay, but we don't know where grantaire was shot. people usually say the heart, because he died instantly, but i think there's a better option.
his throat.
now, the heart is poetic because he's only at the barricade because of his love for enjolras.
but.
his worse vices, or at least the two traits that enjolras hates in him the most (besides the non-believing) are his drinking and talking nonsense for 4 pages non stop.
both of those actions are fundamentally linked with one's throat, wine flows through there and words pour out of it.
the throat also houses one's pipes, vocal cords and arteries, so a shot to the throat would be as deadly as one to the heart. either way, the brain ain't getting any oxygen.
anyway both options are valid, but i like this symbolism in grantaire's death better than the heart.
