      This isn't a great take, considering part of the reason he wrote the novel was asking why the 1830 rebellion, which he was around for, was such a failure while the 1848 rebellion was a success

      I mean, yeah, though it is something that the most iconic musical about revolutionary fervor is about a failed revolution, and nobody seems to acknowledge it.

      It was certainly interesting when the Hong Kong protesters adopted "Can You Hear the People Sing?" as their theme song

      Does Le Mis, the musical, have the same politics as Hugo's novel? I'm asking as somebody unfamiliar with both.

      One BIG departure is Fantine. In the book, much of what befalls her is because she borrowed money (Hugo was very "neither a borrower or a lender be"). The musical has significantly more sympathy for Fantine, giving her one of it's most emotionally arresting songs.

      Yes, the book is very interested in acting as a cautionary tale and doing a deep dive into exactly what bad decisions and negative social circumstances caused each person's tragedy

      Also the musical is transparently far more interested in Photogenic Opera Sad Woman Eponine than the book, where she is a sympathetic but selfish creep.

      Yeah everyone gets mad at Marius for picking Eponine over Cosette in the musical, because the musical interprets Eponine's "unfeminine" traits as making her cool and tomboyish and therefore actually more attractive than Cosette by modern standards

      Whereas in the novel we get a physical description of her and how she's emaciated, covered in lice, has patchy falling-out hair, is illiterate and has a street accent so thick Marius can barely understand her, etc

      The book makes it pretty clear there is no "choice" and Marius would never actually consider dating her Which, you know, is what actually sharpens the tragedy over it coming off as him just preferring blondes to brunettes

      I liked Starkid making fun of this with Starship, where February meets everyone's criticisms of Cosette - a spoiled vapid ditzy blonde chick - but Buggette is, well, a bug
