Why he's
so awesome:
Mario Vargas Llosa
calls Gavroche "one of the most appealing and tender characters in
fiction", who, despite his relatively small role in the novel, "brings a
breath of happiness and humanity a love of life, wit, goodness, and
courage in the face of adversity. His purity of spirit is strengthened
rather than diminished by poverty, homelessness, and injustice." Where
other characters are hardened by experience, Gavroche lives by his wits
and shows kindness to everyone he encounters. In his view, as Javert
embodies rigor and order, Gavroche represents the unruly, eccentric, and
imaginative.
Also, this is funny as hell.
