The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Victor Hugo
Manage episode 433645655 series 3592507
"In 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame,' there is the ugly yet sincere Quasimodo, and the hypocritical Claude; the brave Esmeralda, and the deceitful Phoebus. Kind and ordinary people are weak and helpless under the rampant despotic rule of the church, which is precisely what Hugo depicts—the tragedy of fate that people cannot escape.
