Hunchback of Notre Dame

A story made popular by Disney however, the whole entire movie was highly fabricated to make it watchable for kids.

-

In the movie, it was said that Frollo was appointed as a court judge and inflict great sufferings upon the gypsy population because he believes that they live 'outside natural order'.One night, a group of gypsies attempt to enter Paris but is stopped by Frollo and his soldiers. When a gypsy woman attempts to flee, he thinks that she has stolen something, chases her and knocks her down causing her death. When he saw that deformed child that the woman was holding, he believed that the child was an unholy demon and tries to drown him but is stopped by the Archdeacon that to save his soul from eternal damnation, he must adopt the child and raise it as his own. Hence, Quasimodo.

-

In the book, Frollo WAS the Archdeacon of Josas of Notre-Dame Cathedral who adopted Quasimodo from the cathedral's foundling bed and raises him like a son. Frollo was an intelligent man who studies several languages, law, medicine, science and techonology. But when he became infactuated with alchemy, people believe that HE was a sorcerer.

SEE HOW THEY CHANGED THE WHOLE THING!??!!

I think most of you have watched the movie so I'll just tell you how the book actually ends.
-
Esmeralda captured the heart of Frollo who was torn between his lust and the rules of the church. He orders Quasimodo to get her. Quasimodo is caught and whipped and ordered to be tied down in the heat.

Esmeralda, seeing his thirst, offers him water. (Remember the part where Quasimodo was tied down and pelted with tomatoes?!) It saves her, for she captures the heart of the hunchback.

She is later accused of the attempted murder of Phoebus, whom Frollo attempted to kill in jealousy, and is sentenced to death by hanging. Quasimodo saves her by bringing her to the cathedral under the law of sanctuary. Clopin rallies the Truands (criminals of Paris) to charge the cathedral and rescue Esmeralda.

The king, seeing the chaos, vetoes the law of sanctuary and commands his troops to take Esmeralda out and kill her.

When Quasimodo sees the Truands, he assumes they are there to hurt Esmeralda, so he drives them off. Frollo betrays Esmeralda by handing her to the troops and watches while she is hanged. (It was either that she loved him or she goes away forever in death)

Quasimodo pushes Frollo from Notre-Dame to his death because he saw Frollo laughing at her being hanged.

Quasimodo then goes to Mount Faucon (a huge graveyard in Paris where all hanged bodies are thrown), lies next to her corpse and eventually dies of starvation.

Two years later, excavationists find the skeletons of Esmeralda with a broken neck and Quasimodo locked in an embrace.

The sick and perverted part of Frollo:

• he attempts killing Captain Phoebus as he was the 'competition' by stabbing him in the back (but he did recover)
• he kissed her when she fainted
• he stabs himself at the sight of her toture as he handed her over to the magistrate
• he attempted to rape Esmeralda when she seeked sanctuary in the cathedral

we should sue disney for making us believe that there are happy endings in life when the story was completely changed and ripped apart.
