Les Misérables

Fantine is fired from her job at the factory in "Les Misérables" because her foreman discovers that she has an illegitimate child, Cosette. The foreman dismisses her under pressure from a jealous coworker who resents Fantine for refusing his advances.

Anne Hathaway portrayed Fantine in the 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables.

To Javert, a man obsessed with the law, to find a criminal who fools everyone, seems to rise above the law itself and command it, the idea would be maddening. On top of that, Javert and Valjean have history; Javert remembers him from the chain gang. So if someone you had once known and detested made a mockery of everything you fought to defend, you'd want to learn about them, too.

By "that" I assume you mean take her in and care for her as she died and then look after her daughter.

Well, after the bishop gives Valjean his candlesticks he basically swears to become a better person.

So he basically goes out and helps a town thrive through his factory. In the song "At the end of the day," Valjean turns a blind eye to Fantine being fired.

When he sees what she has become he is saddened because he is trying to be a good person and feels guilty about what he has done so he takes her in and looks after her.

"Les Misérables" was created by French author Victor Hugo and was first published in 1862. The novel is considered one of the greatest works of Western literature.

One day more is a fantastic song about...one day more! This song takes place the day before the students are ready to fight. But all the characters are taling about what happens tomorrow. The students are talking about the battle, Ebine is talking about another day alone without her true love not wanting her. Javert is talking about how he will finally catch Jean Vealjan, and everyone is talking about something. It's all really talking about there's just "one more day" of something for each person.
