is is so important to me that OFaPD wasn’t about Grantaire buying in to the revolutionary mindset or converting to republicanism or any real transformation in his beliefs. It was about him embracing his own beliefs and standing up for what was important to him.
Enjolras didn’t respect him for converting to Enjolras’ way of thinking, he respected him for committing as strongly to his own convictions as Enjolras did his. He saw the value in Grantaire’s values.
OFaPD was as much about Grantaire converting Enjolras as Enjolras converting Grantaire and that’s pretty integral to my understanding of the Brick as a whole
