The Hunchback of Notre Dame is originally named 《Notre Dame de Paris》, because the backround story happened at Paris's most famous gothic cathedral. This Novel was written by Victor Hugo in 1830, it is talking about a story that happened in the 15th century in Paris. The main characters name is Quasimodo, in french it means 『To be deformed』, he was benamed by his cruel guardian the owner of the cathedral Claude Frollo. From the moment he was born Frollo had trapped him the belle tower where he would never be able to see the light of day, thus telling him "You are a monster for which no one loves". But even though he had suffered in that harsh enviroment, he grew up to be a kind-hearted young man.
《The Hunchback of Natre Dame》's most touching part was that Hugo had used the book to criticise the darkness and lies of socialism, also the unfairness.
Although Quasimodo was born ugly, he had a kind heart, reflecting to that, the cathedral owner Frollo had an ugly heart, but a high standard appearance. This was because Hugo had wanted people to know the reflect on ones self and to be viligant.
Till now, 《The Hunchback of Notre Dame》was not only made into an animated cartoon, but was also made into a musical, and both are very popular.
