Fantine is dismissed from her job

The dismissal of Cosette's mother is presented as an act of deliberate interference: Mme Victurnien is identified as the person who has her driven out of her work. The entry establishes the loss of employment and who caused it, without specifying the circumstances of the decision or its immediate consequences.

The Dismissal

The available account records a direct change in Cosette's mother's working life: she is made to leave her job. It does not describe a confrontation or explain how the dismissal is carried out.

Responsibility

Mme Victurnien is named as responsible. Her role makes the dismissal more than an unexplained change of employment, but the account gives no further motive or response from Cosette's mother.
