It’s also nice that Les Miserables never blames Fantine for her dreadful plight, but rather total asshole Felix Tholomyes who abandoned her and a society that had no sympathy for a poor, unwed mother or her child. A lot of media even nowadays is like “it’s the woman’s fault for (everything bad that happens to her)!” but Les Mis doesn’t do that and both its audience and itself weeps for her.
