Insight into Eponine

Instead of being loyal to her family, she decided to be loyal to Marius instead. I have this growing love for the character and have no idea why. Eponine’s story is so heartbreaking because she has to face abuse and extreme poverty. On top of that, she is dealing with unrequited love for Marius, but it is the love for him that keeps her going. I really love the songs “On My Own” and “A Little Fall of Rain”, which are two of her songs.

I heard “On My Own” while watching said beauty pageant.  Not knowing much of anything about the storyline I asked my older sister to explain it to me.  As she relayed the story and I…
