What Is This Feeling?

Isn't Ironic...? Don't ya think?...Ok, I've always realized this, and I need to bring this to the board's attention. I coul've titled this thread be careful what you wish for, but I found it supremely ironic. Marius just did what Epoinine asked him to do, look:
Eponine: Stay out of this.
Marius: But Epinine...
Eponine: You'll be in trouble here. It's not your concern. You'll be in the clear.
She pushes Marius away.
Marius: Who is this man?
Eponine: Leave me alone!
Marius: Why is here? Hey Eponine!
*marius bumps into Cosette*
Am I just going on, or did we all know this, but just never really thought it was worth discussing? I just find it kinda ironic. Because Eponine in a way gets her request.

Yes.
Well, let's be honest. If you liked a nice, respectable guy but were in the middle of a robbery on a decent, old-ish guy. Saying 'Sure, come along! Let's rob someone!' is hardly going to win his affection. Eponine's also a street-wise girl. She probably knew the Police would come so she didn't want Marius to get involved. I don't think she meant 'Stay away from me forever'. Just for him to stay away from the robbery.
Also, Marius also stayed away as he bumped into Cosette and fell in love with her. If they hadn't bumped into eachother who knows what might have happened between Marius and Eponine?

I agree, I think Eponine said what she did is because she didn't want Marius around during the robbery. She was probably concerned he might get in trobule with the police, if they mistakenly thought he was part of it, or the gang if he tried to interfer. Also, she probably didn't want Marius to see her being a part of it.

well yeh, i thought that as wll, but I'm saying, isn't Ironic that that is the last thing she says to him, before he falls in love with Cosette?

LOL! I thought of something very similar except... not as cleverly phrased. Heehee.
I don't really think it's that real irony and I doubt it's done on puprose, but it is interesting.

In that case, you could take ANY lyric or mildly suggestive situation in the show and say..."Oooooh, soooo IRONIC!"
Come on people, really.

It's like, OMG when Fantine sings: "And tell Cosette I love her and I'll see her when I wake!" which is ironic since she dies and n3ver seez Costett Again!!1

Yeah, the book and the musical are both chock-full of ironic statements and situations, but I really don't think this is one of 'em.  Now, I'd personally find it more interesting if we wanted to discuss about those ironies, but there are probably too many to cover.

Oh hahha, I found it intersting enough. It just caught me one day when I was listening to it, but I just wanted to hear what you all thought about it.

That line does make sense if you are a Christain or any other reglion that believes in heaven or life after death.

I think its a valid idea to start a thread, as EponinesRain said there are loads of ideas.
Come on people, lets stop being a tiny bit mean and get our minds going, where are these other times?
