A tragic hero
Quasimodo is the hero of the Disney cartoon The Hunchback of Notre Dame, very freely inspired by the novel by Victor Hugo. Quasimodo was abandoned at birth by his mother at the gates of Notre-Dame Cathedral because of his deformity. He was taken in by Frollo, the archdeacon, a hateful man who was too afraid of God not to save him. Quasimodo grew up hidden from view in the cathedral, Frollo insisting that the world was too violent for him. His life thus consists in walking in the heights to ring the bells with for only friends the gargoyles. Until the day when the bohemian Esmeralda takes refuge in the cathedral. He falls in love with her immediately, but even if she doesn’t feel the same way, she will become a faithful friend. But Esmeralda will also arouse the unhealthy love of Frollo and that of Phoebus with whom it will not happen as simply as with Quasimodo.
