Erm...the general idea is that this lil' tyke, just this ONE (out of millions similarly neglected), is the basis for so much sacrifice, love, life-altering love, decisions, and all the while, she is oblivious to it all. She spends the whole of her childhood wishing for that fantasy world where nobody cries and is all the while being given the next best thing by the slew of characters that surround her. Even Eponine makes it happen for Cosette. Cosette is at the center and the unlikely main character. In my eyes, at least. The way she is kept low-key but is THE face of the musical, the reason for so much love, is haunting.
