My entry for :iconlesmisclub:'s contest "Les Heureux".

Well, before anything, I apologise for anatomy errors, lack of backrounds,colour, etc. I don't have much time, but I did my best and I hope you like it :)

Anyway...I thought of Les Heureux (meaning Tha Happy Ones) is: Who are the happy ones in the story?
From my point of view, the main characters have their moments of happiness. Not all the story is about misery and sadness, it also talks about love, friendship.... And that's what I tried to explain in my picture :)

So, let's start with the upper left picture. This is about the relationship between Jean Valjean and Cosette. She's a poor girl who has suffered a lot in her short life, being treated as a servant and without even remember the love and care of a mother. He's a man who has never known love. When both met, Cosette sees in Jean Valjean the father she never had, and she was a daughter for JV, who felt that his life began after meeting her.
Next is Enjolras, and also Les Amis ( sorry that they aren't in the picture :( ). What does their happiness consist on? They're a group of friends whose aim is bringing freedom to people. This is really important to them, they'd even loose their lives trying it.
On the down left corner are Cosette and Marius. I don't think I have to explain this one ;P
Finally, the last picture. Why Eponine's death? She was deeply in love with Marius, though he only saw her as a friend. However, she tried until the very end, but she finally accepts that he loves Cosette. Why is she a happy one, then? Because (always in my opinion), she would die in peace, knowing that she saved his life and that she died next to him :)

So! This is my entry! Hope you like it! (and sorry for the looong introduction xD)
And some of them, like Enjolras, Marius and Eponine are based on the Spanish actors.
