This page was last modified on 24 December , at But he has read a lot about it and identifies with its cause so deeply that he feels like he was there: "He was familiar with every detail of that great event [The Revolution]; he had it in his blood as though he had been there" 3.
But perhaps the most important thing to know about Enjolras is that he always acts out of principle and never out of petty emotion. Even at the end of the book, he criticizes the French army for letting its soldiers die too easily, even though they are his enemies. Enjolras has high standards even for his enemies.
This is why you could never actually date Enjolras—you'd constantly be letting him down. It would be exhausting. In the end, Enjolras gets gunned down for sticking to his beliefs and rebelling. But from what we can tell, he knew this was going to happen from the moment he picked up a gun.
He also knows that the revolt won't be successful. For him, the symbolic act of defiance is more important than his life. Woe to the love affair that should venture to intrude on him!
