The two take shelter in the Petit-Picpus convent, and Cosette grows into a young woman. They start a new life in Paris that is soon interrupted by Javert, who has discovered that Valjean escaped from prison alive.
Valjean escapes prison after falling from a rope, and he rescues Cosette from the wicked Thénardiers. Fantine dies, and Valjean is imprisoned once again. After much soul-searching, Valjean testifies in front of the court that he is actually Valjean. Valjean promises Fantine that he will take care of her daughter Cosette, but this task is interrupted when Valjean hears that a man named Champmathieu has been mistakenly identified as him, and faces life imprisonment as a recidivist convict. Valjean intervenes and brings Fantine to a hospital she is deathly ill after the snowball incident. Javert takes her into custody after she assaults a young man who shoves a snowball down her blouse. After her illegitimate child is discovered, she loses her job at Valjean's factory and is forced to turn to prostitution. The Thénardiers treat Cosette cruelly, and charge Fantine high sums of money for the care of her daughter. Fantine names this daughter Cosette, and leaves her in the care of the Thénardiers in order to find work. However, he is hunted by the dogged police officer Javert, who believes that no criminal can ever truly reform.įantine is an impoverished but beautiful young woman who falls in love with a pompous young student, who eventually abandons her shortly after she gives birth to their child. He adopts the name Monsieur Madeleine, and becomes a successful factory owner. Upon his release, he finds that he is treated like an outcast everywhere he goes, until the Bishop Myriel helps him to create a new life for himself.
Jean Valjean is an ex-convict who was imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread.
