Yes, but I can't blame Cosette for that given that she had a super abusive childhood followed by many years in a convent with no life experience! SHE DOESN'T KNOW.

But haha, man, if I remember right Victor Hugo's own love life was pretty super unhealthy. Weren't he and his brother madly in love with the same girl? And then Victor Hugo married her and his brother had a nervous breakdown on their wedding day?
