A New Beggining

A new beginning had started in Marius life he was not alone anymore but united in heart and soul to Cosette. After his horrible accident Marius remained in bed for several months and when he was finally able to recover he constantly asked to see Cosette even though his grandfather objected. Though as time past by his grandfather started to accept the idea of Cosette and Marius being a couple and permitted regular visits. Cosette came accompanied by her loyal companion who was truly Jean disguised as Costte’s father. Cosette enjoyed Marius delightful company. Marius and Jean were always very cold and kept their distance. While Marius and Cosette’s love grew by the second. They finally decided to get married and all the arrangements were made, the only issued lived in Jean’s head. Jean knew he had to tell Marius the truth about his identity if he was going to marry his “daughter”. He soon revealed the truth to poor Marius and a surprised Marius took it smoothly and after the wedding let Cosette maintain a relationship with her “father”. Though Jean began to visit less often and his health began to decrease, Jean became terribly ill without Cosette and Marius being aware. One evening Thenardier arrived and talked to Marius, he was going to reveal to him the truth about Valjean’s identity. Though little did he know Marius was already aware the only thing Thenardier did was reveal to Marius who had really saved him in the barricade “While he was talking, he found means to cut and tear off from behind, without the assessing perceiving it, a apiece of the coat. A piece of evidence” (Hugo 387). At the sight of this alarming news Marius realized Jean was truly a good man and immediately wanted to apologize with Cosette by his side. They soon arrived at Jean’s sight but it was sadly too late he had only a few time left by their side. Marius quickly apologized and revealed to Cosette what was occurring. Jean died by Cosette and Marius side but his soul, spirit, and noble heart will always live in Marius. “ I die happy. Let me put my hands your dear beloved head” (Hugo 399).
