What makes him really scary is that he doesn't have superpowers, he's not an over the top fun vilain like in most Disney movies. He's simply a man in a position of power, and he is VERY realistic.

I like that Esmeralda and Quasi didn't end up together. It fits with the movie's themes. Both Quasi and Frollo want Esmeralda, but Frollo wants to possess her and would rather kill her than see her free of him, while Quasi just hopes that she might return his affection, but will let her go and stay friends with her if she doesn't. Quasi sees her as her own person, with her own free will, and he respects her, but he also somewhat idealizes her, literally referring to her as an angel. They wouldn't be on equal footing in a relationship. Frollo doesn't see her as a person, he sees her as either a thing he wants to own or a witch he must destroy, but not a human being. Phoebus is the only one who treats her as an equal, as nothing more or less than human, not an angel or demon. That's why them ending up together makes sense in my opinion.

Simply the point is that getting Esmeralda's love was never Quasi's dream, his dream was to live among other people, as everyone else. That was his dream, not Esmeralda. His dream is fulfilled at the end of the story so it's 100% an happy ending for him, he got what he always wanted. This movies is not a love story, there is love, but it's not about it. Plus a lot of people think that Quasi deserved Esmeralda because he suffered a lot, what's realistic about that? You're unlucky so you have to get a woman as a prize for it? It's just stupid, especially because Phoebus is absolutely the best person of the entire movie, he is generous, helps people, disrespects authority when they are evildoing even is it means death for him if he does, he never judges anyone according to their look or race (and he is the only relevant character who doesn't have any prejudice), only by their actions, always ready to step up to protect the innocents. Even without considering the look, Phoebus is absolutely the perfect man.

​@@Kal911 *Is* he living 'as everyone else' does? There are several degrees of difference between 'not being lynched on sight', to 'being tolerated', to 'living like everyone else'. Why is Esmeralda the fixation of praise and adoration for so many of the viewers here, with only a cursory acknowledgement spared for Quasimodo? Not that you can't have it, but to such a disproportional extent that the supposed main protagonist becomes more of an afterthrought, which isn't a common trend for other Disney protagonists. Why are those same viewers also so keen on promoting the theory that Esmeralda did not reciprocate toward Quasimodo for 'putting her too much on a pedestal', while Phoebus saw her as an equal, when in reality they aren't really privy to Esmeralda's considerations? Even putting aside the sincerity behind that rosy presumption in and of itself, the closest we'd get to establishing the motivations of a fictional character would be through canon and the author's intent: Now, this whole popular culture surrounding the notion of "Don't put me on the pedestal" that most of the young viewers probably also heard from somewhere else the first time around is a relatively recent concept. Hunchback of Notre Dame, the source book, was written *more than 200 years ago*. At least half the fairy-tales or more mature romance tales form that period are *all about* putting the courted 'damsel' or 'lady' on a pedestal, with pompous and grandiose displays of affection, suitors saying how they'd fight the whole word for her, love her forever, etc, even during the first stages of meeting. So this cautionary dating advice from the 2000's about pedestals and equality definitely wasn't much of a thing back then, but you know what was? Not marrying deformed people. So these are all questions that need to be asked, which are apparently too uncomfortable for most people to ask themselves lest they realize that they've actually learned nothing from the movie's core lesson.

@@KaizerHiwatari I think the most substantiated theory, which could be deduced both from the film's explicit illustration itself a-la Occam's Razor and from psychoanalytical speculation is that it was *both*. Romantic love, distinctly from lust, is an extension of platonic love - with sexual attraction as an addendum. It's safe to say that you would feel compatible with and enjoy the company as well as the personality of your romantic love interest at least as much as anyone you would consider a friend. In order to discard what Quasimodo himself defines his sentiment as, it would be incumbent on the critic to present strong supporting evidence that Quasimodo does not truly feel a mental and physical attraction toward Esmeralda on top of a platonic connection. Employing all that we know about human psychology and sexuality to a young man who's been couped in a prison from which he can observe standard human affairs but never participate in them, I'd say the odds are heavily in favor of the classical interpretation: He felt the platonic love, gratitude, and the attraction, but Esmeralda only felt the former.

Sure some villains look to world domination, control a person who is the object of their obsessions, or hell, just plain old greed, but Frollo? Sure the focus is that he wants Esmeralda in some sick twisted fantasy of owning her, but his magnum opus? Genocide of an entire race who he openly regards as sub human if not human at all.

Fun fact: Apparently the Romani (Gypsy) community had an issue with Esmeralda's red dancing dress. Apparently in their culture, red is not considered a lucky color. They associate it with misfortune, so they avoid having anything to do with red at all costs. Anything they have that has 'red' is usually an offshoot of the color, like pink or burgundy. It's a pretty dress no denying that and it looks good on her. Just thought I throw that bit in there.

@@RukiyaReacts Personally I don't really think there's racism in this movie. Back then, gypsies were notorious for being bands of cut throats and thieves (as we see in the Court of Miracles; heck, the movie begins with gypsies trying to smuggle themselves into Paris illegally) Because they lived outside the law, they were taking food and other goods that would be distributed among law abiding citizens, and in order to compensate importing additional goods that the citizens would need, the officials would raise taxes, which of course, gypsies would not pay. Then you have gypsies who were believed to be practitioners of black magic and conjurings aka witchcraft; something that most people were highly afraid of back then. In the musical, Frollo had a brother named Jehan; both of whom grew up as orphans who were taken in by Notre Dame. But Jehan was lured away by a gypsy girl and forsook the church in exchange for a life living in shallow drunken stupor that ultimately resulted in his death. So technically Frollo's hatred of gypsies stems not out of racial prejudice, but out of justified intolerance.

Normally the villain gets an “I am” song (which is very narcissistic of them) but since Frollo’s is an “I want” song, it lures you into his dark and twisted mind and makes you see just how messed up he is.

My favorite low-key part of this movie that doesn't get so much attention is how Quasimodo doesn't end up with Esmerelda. You really see this when he puts her hand and Phoebus's together. I love that Quasi doesn't "get" her for a few reasons. Women are people and "getting" one shouldn't be a reward for the hero. He sees what there is between her and Phoebus and her, and his approval really caps off their bromance nicely. And ending a note of friendship between him and Esmerelda seems important considering how many people still (ridiculously) think men and women somehow can't just be good friends. All of this is packed into a really cute, wholesome moment between this couple and their pal. BTW in my mind, it is now officially called a "trambone." 8)

Frollo is actually my favorite Disney villain because he’s so human. Not only does he crave power and commit suicide (like every other Disney villain) but he also feels lust.

You know, a gargoyle's symbolism is to scare away evil spirits and demons so Frollo being scared of one is very fitting. I always imagined the gargoyle being like: "Oh no, not this bitch on MY Notre Dame you're going to a new home, IN HELL!" Also I've always wondered if Frollo is schizophrenic, I mean all those hallucinations during the Hellfire song, makes you think.

"I just love her! I want to be her!" You certainly got the look Rukiya 😍 All you need is a little 🐐 Love those editor-Rukiya interjections 🤣🤣🤣 Notre Dame stands out to me not only as a beautiful work of animation and song, but also as a passable adaptation of a very dark, very dense novel into something for children without losing the themes of anti-bigotry and religious hypocrisy.

The Deformed being ostracized along with the Roma (gypsies) and being killed/executed in genocide. Esmeralda and Quasi were switched at birth. Her real name is Agnes. Numerous men "love" her. Quasi kidnaps her and falls for her. Phoebes rescues her and she becomes smitten with him but he is engaged and only wants her as a bootycall. Frollo, in a rage calls for her execution. Esmeralda sadly ends up executed even though quasi initially saved her. Quasi throws frollo over the edge when he sees him smiling cruelly as she hangs. Quasimodo ends up laying next to esmeralda corpse in a mass grave. Their bodies become intertwined. Years later an excavation crew attempts to pry them apart and Quasimodo turns to dust. Tragic 😥 I must say I like the direction Disney went with it much better.

the stage version of this follows the original story a bit more, then! (minus quasi kidnapping her, and phoebus is generally similar to the movie version but less of a "knight in shining armor" type, but he does care for esmerelda and still follows the movie by refusing to murder innocents and helps save her etc) i watched a recording of the stage musical first before watching the movie (i either had never watched the movie before or it had been so long i can't remember if i'd watched it) and was honestly shocked at how dark the ending was - i figured they must've taken liberties or taken from another version of the story rather than the film. they also made quasi hard of hearing/partially deaf which is a nice touch as it's more realistic to how someone spending 20 years so close to loud bells. it follows a lot of the same beats as the movie with some elements from the original story and some new backstory for frollo and quasi thrown in - in the stage musical, quasi is frollo's nephew, the son of his estranged brother and a gypsy woman and frollo reluctantly takes him in after his brother dies despite finding him repulsive. they make frollo less of a irredeemable character and have him actually being more religious and caring about the rules of the church etc (they also show him actually kind of caring abt quasi, at least a little bit - there's still ). at the end, quasi initially saves esmerelda and claims sanctuary in the cathedral, but then esmeralda dies (i believe it's meant to be from smoke inhalation), and quasi blames frollo and throws him off the cathedral. it's a much more sadder and tragic ending as none of the characters get the happier ending we see in the film.

you will be pleased to know, quasi does unalive frollo in the original story, as well as in the stage musical bc esmeralda ends up dying because of frollo's actions. i believe the way she dies is different in both - hanging in the original and smoke inhalation after quasi "saves" her from being burned at the stake in the stage musical - though the stage musical does paint frollo in a slightly more sympathetic light (while still remaining a disgusting human being and quasi 100% deserved the right to unalive him at the end)

I love this movie. I seriously think this movie is underrated and it’s my favorite Disney movie of all time. There’s a lot of stuff I love in this movie. I feel as though Quasimodo is the most relatable Disney protagonist ever because there’s kids who are often shut indoors who can relate to him. Frollo is an amazing villain and I love how they made him so complex. The music overall is amazing and probably the best Disney soundtrack ever. This movie gets a 9/10 for me

Something interesting I heard, during Hellfire with that little break of someone telling Frollo that Esmerelda escaped That was like God answering his prayers, before Frollo was deadset on either killing her or having her, he asked for her to disappear. The white light the guard came in with could be seen as "heavenly light" as the guard basically TELLS frollo "She's gone, let it go"

This is a film I saw regularly as a child and have found a new appreciation for as I've gotten older, especially after 5 semesters of Latin in college. The music is also some of the best of the Disney Renaissance. •Quasimodo-Patron Saint of the Friend Zone •I looked it up; in France, serfdom did not end until 1789, when the feudal rights of the French nobility were abolished as part of the French Revolution. This film is set in the 15th Century. •Note that most Romani are actually Catholic too. •Prior to theaters, public torture/execution was entertainment, especially in medieval times. •Yes, Notre Dame is a church and one of the most famous cathedrals in the world. Even in the opening song, they say its bells are the soul of Paris. •In times when illiteracy was high, the stained glass was meant to help teach people the stories of the Bible. And yes, it is beautiful. •He has, but not with someone on his back. •Hellfire is one of the best villain songs in the Disney canon and one of Disney's darkest. •In French literature, the Court of Miracles was a slum in Paris, so named because of beggars who fakes being blind or lame to try to get money from people. •Actually, he's not; he knew if he told Quasimodo about his attack, that Quasimodo would seek out the Court of Miracles, so he followed Quasimodo and Phoebus. Quasimodo unintentially lead Frollo there. •He's an archdeacon. •In the book, the ending is a lot darker. •"And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit." - not a direct quote from the Bible. •"I will not say 'do not weep,' for not all tears are an evil." - Gandalf the White

When I first saw this, I was shocked to see how Frollo tried to burn people alive if they didn't comply with the law

To be fair, it was the original Hunchback novel that made Notre Dame what it is today. It was falling into disrepair and might have been torn down. Then Victor Hugo brought attention to it in his novel and people started to campaign to preserve & restore it.

I’ve always loved Esmeralda too. I want her “God bless the Outcast” at my funeral 💗

The priest in the movie seemed so understanding and kind about everything

There's a gentleman on Tik-Tok that said it concisely, " if you are incapable of great violence you're not peaceful you're harmless, know the difference." He then went on to say that basically people who are peaceful or not that way simply because they lack any understanding of what is going on but is because they have mastered themselves so much so that anyone who seeks to undo their peace will basically be cut out from their lives any which way possible even if it means being violent for self-protection. Or protection of those you deeply care about.

The fact that this movie was hand drawn is still unbelievable to me

I was a Quasimodo and Esmeralda Stan as a kid! I had a Quasimodo plushie that I took everywhere with me and an Esmeralda Barbie doll! I even went as Esmeralda one year for Halloween and I thought her purple Gypsy dress was the prettiest thing! It might have been where I got my life of off-shoulder sleeves, haha!

15:20 The hooded figures are chanting "mea culpa" (latin for "my fault") and "mea maxima culpa" (Latin for "my most grievous fault"), so even Frollo's own subconscious doesn't buy his BS

Hunchback of Notre Dame is my favorite Disney movie. I always loved how they subtly showed Quasi's super strength he acquired from a lifetime of ringing those bells. Like when he lifted Pheobus off the ground with one hand while Pheobus was still in his full plate armor, or when he tossed the stone cover of the crypt as if it was a piece of paper. That its subtle because he's been mentally and probably physically abused his whole life to be timid. That he had the metaphorical & literal strength all along when he starts getting away from Frollo. This movie is so underrated in my opinion and needs more love. The music of this movie is top tier and more people need to listen to it. Quasi's "I Want" song should be among the top ten of Disney I Want songs. :) I could go on and on about this movie.

when i watched this with my mom my mom said "GO QAUSI YOUR SUCH A BADDIE"

This is one of if not my absolute favorite Disney films so I am sorry for the long comment. It always makes me cry at least twice, the scene where Quasi is tied down and tortured at the festival and then the scene at the end where he holds her over his head and yells sanctuary. Esmeralda will always be my favorite Disney leading lady and I have told myself for years that the only reason she isn't an official "disney princess" for merch is because she's actually a Queen. I also have to say I think this film was rather gutsy for Disney. The main villain in a man of the church. He was elected as a Judge but during Hellfire you hear a soldier call him Minister. His entire villain song (one of the best villain songs disney's ever done) was a prayer. He was praying. His villainy is also realistic. People like him have and still do exist. Racist, sexist, ableist, xenophobic people who use their faith to excuse their hatred, use their faith to point blame onto others. Example, he was only committing the sin of lust because of Esmeralda's "spell" and the only way to make it right was to purify her (she becomes his) or kill her to break said spell. Also, there was a secondary villain. Society as a whole. He was an ELECTED official. Frollo forbid him from going to the festival and when Quasi went... it wasn't Frollo who tortured him. He didn't stop it but he didn't start it or even participate. That was the crowd. That was everyone around him laughing along. There's also so much morbid humor in the Court of Miracles song (real place btw with a really interesting history)) where the people Quasi & Phoebus are trying to save, without listening, without thinking, without questioning, jump to conclusions and are about to kill them with no questions asked. Like the lyrics of that song "We like to get the trial over with quickly because it's the sentence that's really the fun" and "But the dead don't talk, So you won't be around to reveal what you've found." or "here in the court of miracles where it's a miracle if you get out alive".... these are sung by the good guy side characters... the main singer is the frickin narrator As for Quasi not getting the girl, I actually like that. He didn't see Esmeralda as a person fully. He saw her more like an angel, a savior, the first person who showed him genuine kindness. He idolized her, while Frollo objectified her. Phoebus (in this film, not the book, book phoebus was an ass, but so was everyone) treated her more like a person. I didn't like the sequel but I'm glad he found love that made more sense and felt more real. I don't think in this film, he would have been ready to have real romantic feelings that are coming from a healthy place quite yet. I also appreciated how he handled it. He didn't get mad at her. He felt his pain, had a moment here or there of annoyance but he still helped her, still cherished her friendship because that was what was most important to him. I also think that, while the writers didnt intend him to be, I think the Priest is also a villain. Not a malicious one but he is responsible for Quasi having been isolated, emotionally manipulated and abused all his life. In WHAT WORLD does something think it is okay to punish a man, for trying to throw a baby down a well after murdering his mother, by forcing him to raise said baby. THEN allowing him to isolate the baby in the towers the priest controls. ANd THEN doesnt even check in!!! There's no indication that the Priest ever went to visit Quasi or invited him down to mass. Never. In fact it is shown he's explicitly not supposed to come down to church service. Not a fan. No.

(Sorry for this long reply, but anyway) I always thought about the same thing you said in the last paragraph. I guess he’s definitely meant to be a good character, it’s just that they needed to find a way to make a good priest at Notre Dame (for the sake of not misleading people into viewing all Christian leaders in a negative light) while also having a reason that Frollo would adopt Quasimodo and a dramatic “stop!” scene play out. I think the creators might have considered having Frollo decide not to kill the baby without prompting from another character, but that would have risked making Frollo look moreso like he might have a glimmer of goodness which is probably something they wanted to avoid. For “children’s” movies especially (although this is arguably not a children’s movie) you want to make the people committing horrific acts as totally evil as possible, because making them a little bit merciful can upset people since it might lead to too much audience empathizing. For children evil is made evil and good is good, usually as little mixing as possible is done. If they are to make the live action more complex and even less kid-friendly in the writing (which I would love, if done right) then maybe they *could* have Frollo decide on his own to spare Quasimodo. Maybe a beam of light with a sudden gust of wind suddenly appears or something, leading to a Hellish statue (reminds him of the risk of Hell) and then his eyes glance upwards towards the Godly eyes of Notre Dame. But anyway yeah when you actually think about the situation more, the priest seems like a cold idiot for thinking it’s a good idea for evil Frollo to raise him and to also not really check up on him in life or anything, like you said. But I just ignore that because like I mentioned, I feel like him being at the Notre Dame and saying “stop!” and everything was necessary for reasons of not offending or misleading the audience to dislike Christianity. Because it’s worse look for Christianity if you have only an evil Christian leader without any Christian leader in the movie who shows goodness, than if you have both the evil and the good Christian leaders, and the Christian leader just made a stupid recommendation you’re supposed to ignore, and he is just kind of not involved so much in helping out Quasimodo, which you’re also supposed to ignore for plot reasons.

I loved your reaction to this movie! I've always loved the moment just after he breaks free of the chains where he stands, and you watch the chains slink off of him. It's the one shot in the whole movie where Quasimodo actually looks monstrous and ugly, and I feel like it was intentional on the part of the animators because it's the precise moment that he is finally claiming his power and his identity. It's like he's thinking, "If you want to call me a monster, then fine. You better be ready for me to terrify you."

"i had the biggest girlcrush on esmeralda growing up" me, a lesbian: sweating nervousely

Rukiya, thanks so much for reacting to this Disney version of Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Honestly, I can see why it deviated from the book in so many ways. Seeing as the novel was much darker, I can see why they made the changes for this film that they did. Honestly, Hunchback Of Notre Dame is in my top ten favorite Disney animated films. I loved the songs, the animation, and the characters. I’m sad that many people bash on the gargoyles. I mean for crying out loud, they seemed to help out with Quasimodo’s character arc, especially Laverne. My favorite songs of this film were especially “God Help The Outcast,” Heaven’s Light/Hellfire,” “The Court Of Miracles,” and “Someday.” Does part of me have mixed feelings about Esmeralda marrying Phoebus instead of Quasimodo? Yes! Still, I can see why the writers went that route, especially with the whole riddle about who the monster is, and who the man is. I also felt like Hunchback Of Notre Dame had some really good symbolism, including when Quasimodo , and his chains symbolizing not only breaking free of Frollo, but maybe even his jealousy towards people like Phoebus, you know? And how could we not mention how symbolic Frollo’s death was, you know? Oh, and one other thing that I loved was how we had people like Frollo who had the legalistic attitude of Christianity, while people such as the Archdeacon had the love, grace, and mercy side of Christianity. And there are a couple things that I’d like to mention. One, I liked how Quasimodo soared Frollo’s life when one, he threw Frollo’s sword on the ground, and two, how he held onto Frollo’s cape, and saved his life once again. Yes, Frollo was clearly an evil man. Still, I liked how when Quasimodo did both of those things, he showed that he still loved , and cared for Frollo, and that he basically wasn’t going to repay Frollo evil for evil, but rather repay Frollo evil with good. That is despite Frollo still choosing to remain evil, and getting judged as a result. Finally, I think it’s cool that Kirk Wise, and Gary Trousdale directed 1991’s Beauty & The Beast, this 1996 film, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, and 2001’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Speaking of which, I hope you react to those two fairly soon as well. Well, thanks again for reacting to this version of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame!

I remember Tony Jay, the voice actor for Frollo, saying that the Hellfire song took a lot out of him to perform. I wish there was a live video recording of him performing it somewhere out there- I loved that song so much when I first watched the movie, I asked my mom to rewind the scene. XD The Archdeacon thought that Frollo would grow to be a better person by raising a child, but he was very mistaken. Also, if you want to see Quasimodo unaliving Frollo, read the original book. =D

Frollo is not as cruel in the book as he is here. He taught Quasimodo sign language when he went deaf from constant exposure to the ringing bells.

Esmeralda is my favorite Disney girl because she is kind, warm harted, bedass, gorgeous and so graceful are every of her moves. Also she is a socially conscious character, and I love her song a lot. I am pretty curious who will they cast for the live action movie. I hope they stick to the plot of the Disney version.

In my grade twelve year, I was in a production of Hunchback (the stage play) and the vocals were intense but a lot of fun. Also, a lot more darkness than in this movie (obviously, Disney would leave out some of the more not child friendly things). SPOILER FOR STAGE PLAY I'm sure others have probably commented this before but in the show, Quasimodo is actually Frollo's nephew who was born after the brother ran away from the church to live with the Romani (Gypsies). Also at the end of the theatre production, Esmeralda actually dies...

Fun fact about this movie: Ezmeralda is only 15 years old. Just 1 year older than Snow White. Also, Here is the thing that happens in original book: Ezmeralda was afraid of Quasimodo cause of the way he looked but he still loved her and so did Frollo of course. But when Frollo could not have her, he actually manage to kill her and then years pass and when a person visit Ezmeralda’s grave, they noticed another skeleton hugging her and that was Quasimodo. When she died, he could not live without her, so he crawl into her grave, hugged her corpse and stayed like that until he died. So to summarize: the book is dark but memorable.

If you are unsatisfied with the ending of the movie with Frollo I'd recommend watching the Hunchback of Notre Dame musical, the La Jolla production is here on youtube and it is the Disney version but a bit darker and truer to the plot beats of the novel.

Frolo: "And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!" God: Well, if you insist... The thing about the idea of Quasimodo un-aliving Frolo is that Disney is always very careful not to have the heroes commit flat-out murder, with very few exceptions. The dwarves don't kill the evil queen. A random lightning bolt makes her fall off a cliff. Simba doesn't kill Scar. The hyenas do. Beast doesn't intentionally kill Gaston, he just thrashes when he gets stabbed and Gaston falls. Tarzan doesn't kill Clayton. His dumb @$$ accidentally hangs himself, etc. The only exceptions that I can think of are Prince Philip vs. Maleficent, and Prince Eric vs. Ursula. (Before you guys come at me too hard, it's almost 1 am, I'm tired, and I'm not racking my brain too hard over this. Feel free to add more examples if you want but be nice) Point is, Disney tries not to have the heroes kill the villains because that's part of what separates them FROM the villains.

(This information about Hellfire isn't mine): First of all, Frollo doesn't speak or sing to God, or Christ, but to Virgin Mary. Why? Because, in the first scene that Clopin sings about, when the archdeacon points out the statues, Frollo focuses above all in Virgin Mary. Then, a thunder resonantes, and for a very short time (and almost invisible), Virgin Mary opens his eyes and stares at him like saying "You've done a bad thing". Also, the Cathedral's name is "Notre Dame", which means "Our Lady" so... Secondly, now focusing on Hellfire, the dark blue colour simbolizes good, and Heaven. The red colour, Hell. That is why you see a big Cross above the chimney, but the fire's red light doesn't reach it, it's dark blue. Also, Frollo wants to be "pious" as those cardinals dressed in red, who are judging him ("Mea culpa"/"My fault"). But, as his actions aren't pious, in the end, when he positions himself against the wall, forming a very little cross ( which is very little compared to the shadows of the good cardinals and Saints that ascend to the blue side ) he stays in the red side. The scene when the soldier appears to tell Frollo that Esmeralda is gone. That solider is surrounded by dark blue colour. He's an angel who comes to give him an ultimatum: "leave her and come with me, or continue and you're doomed.

Fun fact: Frollo’s last words, “And he shall smight the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit.” are a pretty loose adaptation of Isaiah 11:4 in the Bible. And before anyone says it, yes I know I’m named after that chapter.

I would recommend you listen to the soundtrack of the actual play of the hunchback of Notre dame. Just the soundtrack alone will tell you in their songs the background of Frollo, the song tambourine which is Esmeralda’s songs describing how she welcomes her guests in her performances, the song named “esmeralda” which is a song describing how the whole town wants to kill her and at the same time the three different perspectives of Frollo, Quasi and Phoebus, AND as well the song that Quasi sings about being chained up it’s called something like “ Man of stone “. Really good music and really good awesome background story to all of these characters.
