A lot of francs. Enough to put them out of debt when they were severely in debt.
While this question is slightly vague, I will do my best to provide as much information as I can. Note that this information is based on the book, not the musical and may differ slightly.Fantine had a child, who she named Cosette. So, obviously, she kissed Cosette's father who was Felix Tholomyes. Fantine had Cosette out of wedlock, and Tholomyes disregarded Fantine and did nothing to help her when she became pregnant.So, eventually Fantine, unable to care for her child, put Cosette into the care of a couple by the name of Thenardier. This couple were innkeepers. These people were complete strangers to Fantine but because their two daughters looked well cared for, she left Cosette in their care.Fantine then leaves her child and settles down elsewhere. She is extremely poor but eventually procures a job at a factory. Meanwhile, the Thenardiers prove themselves to be bad people and continuously extort Fantine for money, claiming the money is required for Cosette's upbringing. Afraid her daughter will be turned out on the street, Fantine manages to send the money. However, Fantine is fired from her job at the factory because it has been learned that she had an illegitimate child.Fantine is eventually forced to resort to selling her hair and her teeth to pay the Thenardiers. Unable to keep up with the innkeepers' demands, she falls into prostitution, which obviously involved kisses.I know I got a little lengthy, but I wanted to make sure I answered your question and any other's that might pop up thoroughly. Hope I helped! :)
In the book, Eponine manipulates Cosette when she is young by making her do chores and treating Cosette horribly. She also manipulates Cosette when she is older by writing a message on her house saying "Move away", so Valjean, Cosette, and Toussaint will be moving to England. In the musical, she manipulates Cosette when she is little by making her get in trouble, but she doesn't really manipulate adult Cosette. In the book, Eponine manipulates Marius by making him promise to give her what she wanted, in return for finding "the young lady's" house, which she does and Eponine takes him there. She also is the one that causes him to go to the barricades, in the hopes that the two will die together. In the musical, she manipulates Marius by making him promise to give her anything, and shows him Cosette's house. Eponine is much more manipulative in the book than musical...
Jean Valjean asked Javert for a brief period to retrieve Cosette before surrendering himself to the authorities.
somewhat. the characters that die have bittersweet deaths...Fantine gives her child to Valjean, Eponine dies in Marius' arms, the Barricade boys die fighting for a better France, Javert....well in the book he writes a list of things he doesn't like, and Valjean dies w/ Cosette and Marius beside him. i really can't answer the question right unless i know which conflicts you are talking about.

Les Miserables ran for 16 years on Broadway. The show opened on March 12, 1987 at the Broadway Theatre. It then transferred to the Imperial Theatre in October, 1990 in order to make room for the then upcoming musical Miss Saigon (written and composed by the same people that did Les Miserables). Les Miserables remained at the Imperial until it closed on May 18th, 2003. The show made a return engagement on Broadway three years later, opening at the Broadhurst Theatre on November 9, 2006. The production ran until January 6, 2008.
Hugo had many major messages in his novel Les Miserables. He criticized the injustice of the French justice system. He pointed out the incredulous suffering of the miserables, such as Eponine and Fantine. Hugo criticizes society for their harsh and unforgiving treatment of convicts, but he does make a point of not making all criminals capable of turning their lives around the way that Jean Valjean does. Hugo describes what the ideal government would consist of in Enjolras' speeches in the barricade. By reading Enjolras' major speeches, you can decipher the several major messages of Victor Hugo.
