THENARDIER'S -characterization-



The Thenardiers where degraded from their mind that they became so evil in order to get more money. Being degraded by poverty made this family have different characteristics: they became more greedy and cruel. They would abuse Cosette their "child", becuase since she was basically paying to live their with the whole family they would all treat her badly. "Better not let me catch you slacking Better not let you catch my eye! Ten rotten francs your mother send me what is that going to buy? Now take that pail My little 'Mademoiselle' And go and draw some water from that well!"(Castle on a cloud). They would treat so badly this child that she would even dream about places where she wouldnt have to clean. Apart from being cruel the Thenardiers were snobs they knew all the thing they had to do in order to get more money. "Quick off the bed, good for nothing! Will you never do anything? break a pane of glass!"(Hugo 208). The Thenardiers have been so degraded by poverty that they will do everything it takes so that when Jean Valjean comes to their home which looks terrible they will receive more money out of pity from Jean Valjean. The Thenardiers would even risk the chance that Jean Valjean wouldnt come and they were already tearing the house up. "You unbottom the chair"(Hugo 208). Another thing is that the whole family didnt even mind the fact that the daughter got a cut from breaking the glass, they just saw this as another chance to get more money from Jean Valjean. These actions were made from the family becuase they were so greedy that they wanted to pay for rent but they didnt want to work, they wanted everything to be done for them.
