The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo is a powerful novel set in 15th-century Paris that explores themes of love, isolation, and social justice. The story centers around Quasimodo, a deformed and isolated bell-ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral, who becomes intertwined with the beautiful and compassionate Romani girl, Esmeralda. As Quasimodo’s devotion to Esmeralda grows, he must confront the cruelty of society, embodied by the morally complex antagonist, Claude Frollo. Through richly detailed settings and complex characters, Hugo presents a vivid portrait of medieval Paris, while also offering a critique of societal prejudice, corruption, and the struggles of marginalized individuals. Ultimately, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a tragic tale of unrequited love and human dignity, revealing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression.
