Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the main convict character in this book?

Answer: Jean Valjean

All of these are characters in the book. However, only Jean Valjean was a convict. Javert is with the police and is the main character who hunts Jean Valjean.

2. Who was the leader of the 'Friends of the ABC'?

Answer: Enjolras

Enjolras was the leader of this revolutionary movement. Other key members are Combeferre, Courfeyrac(who introduced Marius into the group), and Grantaire. Gustave Flaubert wrote 'Madame Bovary'.

3. Who is Fantine's daughter?

Answer: Cosette

She is the only child of Fantine. Poor Cosette! Her early childhood was wretched. At least she found love in the end when she married Marius.

4. Who is Eponine's sister?

Answer: Azelma

Joly is a boy and Eleanor isn't even in the book! Azelma, who is Eponine's little sister, goes unnoticed most of the book and is entirely overlooked on Broadway.

5. Who is Cosette's father?

Answer: Tholomyes

Tholomyes was one of the four rich students who courted Fantine and her three friends. This was Fantine's first love and she gave herself completely to Tholomyes. Unfortunately, the relationship between these two lovers ended badly!

6. How did Cosette's father and Fantine's relationship end?

Answer: He left Fantine by telling her that he was going to get her a special suprise, but instead ran home to his rich family.

Tholomyes and his three friends left Fantine and her three friends stranded by the side of the road. He and his friends explained in a note to Fantine and her friends that they were going back to their rich families who would never approve of the likes of Fantine and her friends. Fantine was left with an unborn baby, no money, and her heart broken.

7. Who did Jean Valjean "adopt"?

Answer: Cosette

After Fantine had died, Jean Valjean made good on his promise to Fantine and picked up Cosette. Jean Valjean soon came to adore and love Cosette as his own. He passed himself off as her father or grandfather to all those they met.

8. Who does Cosette marry?

Answer: Marius

Cosette ends up marring Marius Pontmercy. Unfortunately, she loses Jean Valjean in doing so. He dies shortly after.

9. What is the name of Jean Valjean's sister?

Answer: Jeanne

Jean Valjean never sees his sister or her children again after he gets convicted for stealing food to support them. After he gets out he looks for them, but since he couldn't find them their memory eventually started to fade.

10. What is the last name of the couple Fantine pays to "raise Cosette away from the horrors" where she is trying to make her living?

Answer: Thenardier

The Thenardiers also go by Jondrettes, Fabantou, Thenard, and the Thenardiess. These lovely people are able to squeeze every cent, tooth, and hair out of Fantine in order to "raise Cosette and pay for her expensive medical bills" that don't even exist. They treated Cosette like a slave and was very upset that Jean Valjean came to collect her at last.
