Is there kissing in Les Miserables?

Answer 1

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! :)

Answer 2

Yes, but not much.

Marius kisses Eponine on the forehead (in most productions) as she dies.

I believe that at some point Marius also kisses Cosette (aside from their wedding), but I'm not sure.

Answer 3

No, there is no kissing in Les Miserables. The story is centered around themes of redemption, sacrifice, and revolution rather than romantic relationships.
