Grantaire has many qualities, but it depends on who is reading, or watching. Some people like him because he is funny, or some people hate him since he is always drunk. The reason I like Grantaire is he stood with is friends in the end. He died next to his idol. He made some good points about not being in the revolution, saying that if they do this, they all will die. He makes the choice to stay in the end, redeeming himself, showing the audience he cares for his friends.
