βCosette only exists because they needed a sopranoβ
yes
I can see it now
Victor Hugo, fully aware that his literary masterpiece will be given a musical adaption over a century into the future, plans out all the vocal ranges of each of his characters
He realizes that he lacks a soprano and from there Cosette is born
Why are ppl so bitter abt jean valjean tho like? Specifically his relationship w/cosette. Like i always see ppl talking shit but like this was a guy with nothing? Cosette was all that he had and his greatest motivation and i just dont understand why ppl think his reaction to noticing that she was growing up n shit is creepy? Like let Jean Valjean be he deserves the world.
