when victor hugo said “If you have ever seen a loved one vanish in the grave, never believe that you have been deserted. that loved one is still there, beside you more than ever. the beauty of death is presence–the indescribable presence of loved souls smiling at our tears. the creature we mourn is vanished, but not gone. we can no longer see her lovely face; but we sense that we are under her wings. the dead are invisible, but not absent.”

So THAT’S why he killed so many characters… he just wanted them to beside Cosette and Marius forever :,))
