The bit about Eponine trying to lead Marius to his death, "She died with the tragic joy of jealous hearts who drag the beloved being into their own death, and who say: 'No one shall have him!'" - IMMEDIATELY followed with the chapter where Valjean discovers Cosette's in love with Marius and plunges into despair about it, mirroring Eponine, when ultimately he'll save Marius from the death she tried to lead him to. !!!

Marius agrees to regular visits between Cosette and Valjean, proceeds to make these visits as uncomfortable as possible in a passive aggressive attempt to try to get Valjean to stop visiting without having to actually come out and say that, and then this line: "Let us say, however, that the reader would do wrong were he to blame Marius." Okay. I'm gonna though.
