Dialectical Journal for Cosette-
Quote: “Cosette was going away. With whom? She was ignorant. Where? She knew not. All she understood was, that she was leaving behind the Thenardiers
chophouse. Nobody had thought of bidding her good-by, nor had she of bidding good-by to anybody. She went out of that house hated and hating (Hugo 157).
Paraphrase: I think this quote mean that Cosette did not know where she was
going, but she didn’t care where she was going. As long as she was away from
the Thenardiers. They hate that she is leaving because she was their built in
slave. The Thernardiers also received money for keeping her. Why would they
want her to leave? She hated them for the many wrong doings that they did to
her.
Analysis: Let’s be honest, if you were in the care of the Thenardiers,
wouldn’t you want to leave by any means? I could understand why she had hatred
for them. I could also see a different perspective. Instead of feeling that
Cosette is getting away from her enemys, she was given a new chance at life.
This is why Cosette represents the meaning of hope.
ATTENTION: Lisseth- I think that your quote really shows how little the
Thenardiers really thought of Cosette. It is pretty sad.
