Les Misérables: Shoujo Cosette

Fantine and Cosette seek work in Montfermeil before parting ways for Montreuil-sur-Mer

In the French countryside, Fantine and her daughter Cosette travel to Montfermeil seeking employment. After facing repeated rejections from locals who refuse to hire a mother with a child, they visit the Thénardier inn. Madame Thénardier and her husband suggest leaving Cosette behind to improve Fantine’s job prospects. Fantine pays 57 francs for the arrangement, causing a tearful separation as Cosette is forced into servitude. Fantine journeys to Montreuil-sur-Mer, where she witnesses Mayor Madeleine intervene in a bread theft by a boy named Alain. Madeleine shows compassion by feeding Alain and his siblings. Fantine secures a job at a black glass factory by lying about having a family. Meanwhile, Cosette endures harsh treatment at the inn, sweeping the courtyard in rags while longing for her mother.

Cosette Endures Hard Labor and Abuse Under the Thénardiers' Cruel Watch

The day after previous events, Cosette performs strenuous chores for the Thénardiers, including sweeping, cleaning tables, and polishing the inn sign. Azelma approaches to play, but Éponine intervenes, citing their mother’s prohibition and asserting their status as inn princesses while excluding Cosette. They order her back to work until baby Gavroche’s cries interrupt. Inside, Madame Thénardier harshly silences the infant, kicking his cradle. When Cosette attempts to protest, she is silenced too late. Madame Thénardier forces Cosette to watch the baby while she works, shoving Cosette to the floor in the process.
