She lost her job, fell deeper into poverty, had to sell her hair, teeth, and who knows what else, til she ultimately got lured/forced into prostitution because she has a young daughter to feed and care for. This song shows her descent.
she loses her job at the factory, is a single mother, and can’t figure out how to provide for her daughter that is basically in slavery (she doesn’t know this) but she gave her daughter to an innkeeper paying them to provide for her which they never do. So then in order to meet their raised fee, she becomes a prostitute after selling her teeth, hair, and if I remember correctly also her fingernails or something wild. She truly lost everything including her life.
to add to the other comments, the innkeepers who are housing her daughter told her that her daughter is sick, when she actually is not. so they tell her to send money to help care for her sick daughter, and instead use all of the money on themselves because they are greedy.
2:25 after finding out she's played by frances ruffelle eponine is literally all i can hear here now
I am confused

In the book it is even worse as she sold her front two teeth

Why is this the first comment-- the idiot comment I see?
