Notre Dame de Paris translated from Hongkong's Camel Man in the Bell Tower and Taiwan Province's Humpback of Notre Dame de Paris are romantic novels written by French writer victor hugo. Let's have a look!

The story of the novel takes place in Paris in the15th century, and the central location of the plot clue is Notre Dame de Paris. Quasimodo, the protagonist, is an abandoned child of a wandering gypsy. He was born deformed: one-eyed, hunchbacked and lame. Gypsies secretly traded him for a woman's little daughter Agnes. Claude, the vice bishop of Notre Dame, adopted quasimodo and asked him to ring the bell in Notre Dame as an adult. He is deaf again because he has been ringing the bell for many years. Quasimodo was loyal to his post, had great respect for the archdeacon, and was obedient.

One holiday night, the vice bishop ordered quasimodo to rob the gypsy girl Esme Halda. She was hit by the king's guards, and captain Fabi saved the girl. The next day, quasimodo was sentenced and flogged under the drum in the gray square. Quasimodo is in great pain and wants water to drink. The vice bishop saw it and slipped away, but the gypsy girl boldly sent water to the victim quasimodo. The poor bell ringer never thanked her again. It turned out that Agnes was stolen by a tramp. She is young, beautiful and good at singing and dancing. I fell in love with Fabi, the captain of the guard, and agreed to meet him on holiday night. After learning about this, the Vice Bishop followed Fabi and hid in their tryst. When Fabi and Esme Halda confided in each other, they stabbed Fabi with a dagger and slipped away. Esme Halda, who used to be scared, was arrested. The court accused her of murdering the king's bodyguard with witchcraft and forced her to confess through torture, so she was sentenced to hang. In prison, the vice bishop repeatedly told Esme Halda that if she loved him, she would not die. But the girl was firmly in love with Fabi, and the archbishop was furious and announced the execution of the hanging. The day before the execution, Esme Halda knelt in front of Notre Dame for a confession ceremony. Suddenly, quasimodo rushed out, picked up the girl, stepped into the threshold of Notre Dame and shouted, "Holy Land!" Guards, jailers and onlookers were afraid to act, because according to the religious laws and regulations at that time, everyone in the church should be protected by God, and even if he committed a capital crime, he could not be arrested. Quasimodo hid Esme Holda in a small room in the tallest tower, gave her her own food and bedding, and kept at her door to take care of her every night. Soon, the vice bishop found the hiding place and sneaked into the room at night, thinking about the girl, quasimodo, who was the guard, and failed to find it. When these vagrants learned that Esme Holda had been unjustly sentenced to death, they were very angry. Armed themselves, they rushed to the court and surrounded Notre Dame. But quasimodo, who loves gypsy girls, is deaf and mistakenly thinks that they are coming to hunt down her enemies, leaving all kinds of building materials on the top of the church to repair houses, causing a large number of homeless casualties. King Louis Xi didn't like religious forces, but he was afraid that the people would rise up and resist, so he sent troops to suppress them. The archbishop took the opportunity to cheat Esme Halda away, dragged her to the drum stage, and forced her to make a choice: go to the guillotine or promise to love him. The girl despised him and would rather die than surrender. The archbishop dragged her to the front of the "mouse hole", told Sister Judith to catch her and ran to call the guards herself. Sister Judith is actually the girl's mother. After losing her little daughter, she ran around looking for small embroidered shoes, converted to religion in despair, entered a living coffin-"mouse hole" and became a nun. [ 1]

Esme Halda saw the little shoe and took out an identical embroidered shoe in the amulet, so mother and daughter met. The nun smashed the iron fence and hid her lost daughter 16 years in the "mouse hole". The mother and daughter were immersed in the joy of reunion. At this time, the guards and guards called by the vice bishop surrounded the "mouse hole", and maternal love gave Gudier strength and wisdom. She deceived them into believing that the gypsy girl had escaped. But when Esme Halda heard Fabi's name, she couldn't help rushing out of the window and exposing herself. So the mother and daughter were taken to the execution ground, the daughter was hanged, and the mother died miserably under the gallows. Finally, quasimodo saw through the ugly soul of the vice bishop and pushed him down the tower and fell to his death. Later, he found the body of Esme Halda and held it tightly until he died. The novel exposes the cruelty and hypocrisy of religion through the despicable behavior of the vice bishop. It is the religion that binds human nature that turns his love into a terrible desire, harming others and yourself, leading to no good end for himself. These works also contrast quasimodo's inner beauty with his ugly appearance. Gypsy woman Esme Halda is the embodiment of the author's ideal. She embodies Hugo's noblest feelings and the most beautiful image.

Introduction to the role of Notre Dame de Paris

leading part

Esmeralda

Esmeralda is innocent, passionate and naive, full of longing and yearning for love. Because she thinks that the whole world is as sincere as she is, she gave her love to Phoebe after accidentally saving her on patrol. It is precisely because of her pure pursuit of pure love and happy life. Therefore, I loved Phobos to the death, and I have no doubt that he will cheat and betray himself, imagining that he will come to save himself again. Its innocence is heartbreaking.

Esmeralda was fearless and faithful. When she was framed and sent to death row, and when frollo tricked her out of Notre Dame bell tower, frollo made her choose between death and submission several times.

Choice, in the face of frollo * * *, she would rather die than surrender. Before the execution, frollo lured her into submission on the condition of her life. She looked at the gallows and replied faintly, "You didn't scare me" and "Dirty, dirty demon monk!" "I'm going to rip your damn white hair off and throw it in your faces one by one!" "Fuck you!" She would rather choose the gallows than give in to the despicable hypocrite frollo, once again defending her dignity and personality.

Quasimodo

Quasimodo has an extremely ugly face: geometric face, tetrahedral nose, horseshoe mouth, jagged teeth, one-eyed, deaf, hunchback ... It seems that God has brought all his misfortunes to him. Hugo created more than a simple "ugliness". He endowed quasimodo with a kind of "beauty", an implicit inner beauty. Quasimodo looks ugly, but his heart is noble. He bravely rescued Esmeralda from the clutches of the feudal church and saved the girl's life by taking refuge in the temple. At Notre Dame, quasimodo took good care of Esmeralda. Finally, quasimodo put on the wreath of "ugly king" in the laughter of everyone; He vowed to protect Esmeralda, but he was also Claude's accomplice; He just watched his beloved girl marry the gallows in the bell tower, but he had to smash his "second-born parents" into pieces again ... As a romantic work, the drama scene not only gave us a gripping shock, but also showed the contradictions and conflicts between the characters and their own hearts to the fullest.

Claude frollo

Claude is the vice bishop of Notre Dame de Paris-dual role. A hypocritical, well-dressed, but dirty and poisonous hypocrite. On the one hand, he is a representative of religious evil forces, with a dignified appearance and a sinister heart, and he does whatever it takes to satisfy his desires: he instigated quasimodo to kidnap Esmeralda out of lust; He stabbed Phobos out of jealousy, but framed Esmeralda; He killed Esmeralda because he couldn't get her love. On the other hand, he is a victim of religious asceticism, and his long-term abstinence distorts his soul. The more he realized that he had lost the joy of the world, the more he hated the world and all the beautiful things in the world. This is the most profound character in the novel.
