In Chapter 2, Marius Pontmercy supports himself through publishing work, keeps his expenses low, and protects his independence by refusing to borrow money. His devotion to his father also sustains a three-year search for Thénardier, whom he believes saves his father at Waterloo and whom he longs to help.

  2. He rents a bare room, eats inexpensive meals, and keeps his yearly expenses below his income.
  3. He maintains only a small wardrobe and refuses debt, even when avoiding it means going hungry.
  4. Marius reveres Thénardier because he believes the man rescues his father at Waterloo.
  5. He spends his savings searching for the ruined innkeeper, but neither he nor Thénardier’s creditors can locate him.
