I think it is important to remember that the amis are students and that if they had lived today, they most likely would have lived in student housing aka shared flats with a disgusting kitchen that is cleaned once every term.
Les amis (and others) as that guy you end up living with in your first year of uni:
Enjolras: That guy who always puts up angry notes about how everyone needs to clean up after themselves (but never does it himself)
Bossuet: That guy who sets off the fire alarm at 6 in the morning every third week.
Cosette: That guy who’s always saying “I need to get back to studying” and then stays in the kitchen chatting about nothing for another three hours.
Montparnasse: That guy at the end of the corridor that no-one has ever seen, and who might be dead, or might have moved out months ago. No-one knows.
Jehan: That guy who always cooks or bakes for everyone in the flat.
Joly: The only guy who actually does any cleaning or takes out the trash. Also “tests” his flatmates every now and then to see if they would notice if he just leaves the trash to rot in the corner of the kitchen. They never do, and he gives up after a couple of days because it’s just filthy and he can’t live like this.
Musichetta: That guy who has friends over ALL. THE. TIME.
Feuilly: That guy who isn’t a student and who is illegally staying in his “friend’s” room for “just a few days” for the whole year.
Courfeyrac: That guy who always has really loud sex.
Bahorel: That guy who is trying to hook up with everyone in the flat.
Éponine: That guy who steals everyone’s food and cutlery all the time.
Combeferre: That guy who seems to live of Pot Noodles and coffee.
Grantaire: That guy who never wears proper clothes.
Marius: That guy who passes out in the hallway every weekend.
Les amis are actual students okay
