One of the famous
lines from Les Miserables song is “ To love another person is to see the face of
god”. I think the context in this film and its characters is that since they all lead such difficult
lives the only thing they have is “love”. It is the. closest thing to go that
we have to god. In the song before that part it says “Take my love For love is
everlasting And remember The truth that once was spoken To love another
person”. I believe that Fantine saying this also gives context to the film. The
love that Valjean had for had for Cosette is also considered the face of god
because she changed his life. And in return she loved him back as a father
since he also changed her life for the better.
