Club Ninety-Three 1.2.3: Noblesse et roture mêlées
Don’t think I have anything to add that hasn’t already been mentioned! You guys are great :)

But! My edition has a footnote about a footnote, and that’s too good to pass up on:

"I have written a book titled Les Miserables; this one could have been titled Les Inexorables." The source is listed as XV, 511, which I think refers to Actes et Paroles? Anyway, it’s clear Hugo wrote it at some point.

The editor goes on to thoroughly spoil the reader by pointing out all the book’s instances of inexorable-ness, in addition to these two aristocrats wanting an inexorable general. Thanks, dude.

Commentary
Pilferingapples WOW WHAT AN AWESOME FOOTNOTE. XD I guess we know one theme to look for, then! (sorry about your spoilers!)
