Answer 1

Answer:

The fact Fantine uses the statement it is not cowardliness and gluttony that has made me what I am in her appeal to Javert is because she was to justify her actions as a desperate act to escape from reality and how it hurt her.

Explanation:

First of all, She is doing that to obtain pity from him. Because she begs him that her reasons have been justified. Also, that she has proofs to back she has not been a bad woman and that even when she watches her clothing she can remember how her clothes always were fit for women of morality. Nevertheless, she used brandy as a scape of reality and that it was necessary to keep living.
