So -- I don't like Marius (except, okay, sometimes when he's with the Amis I just want to pat him on the head), but I do recognize myself in him (especially with respect to the Valjean stuff) and it infuriates me -- which I think is Hugo's intention. (More on what I thought about this here.
But yeah, the whole Cosette thing, can't help you there. I mean, I'm still willing to give him some "yes, you have no practice in actual human interaction" slack, but the narrative seems to think what he's doing is fine, which... not so much.
