Notre Dame De Paris
About This Novel
The plot of this work is bizarre, the characters are grotesque, and it is full of coincidences and exaggerations. Especially the use of the principle of contrast between beauty and ugliness adds to the romantic atmosphere. For example, Esmeralda was abducted sixteen years ago, and the day when mother and daughter reunited was the time of farewell; Quasimodo alone withstood the attack of hundreds of people on the top floor of Notre Dame; when the bones of Esmeralda and Quasimodo hugging each other in the cemetery were separated, they immediately weathered. Another example is the contrast between two "dynasties", two "kings", and two "tribunals". One is filled with the kindness and friendship of the common people, while the other is filled with cruelty, stupidity, and hypocrisy; the contrast between the goodness of Esmeralda and Quasimodo and the evil of the archdeacon and Phoebus, as well as the contrast between the light and darkness, the noble and the humble of the characters themselves, etc. The author's presentation of the colorful scenery of the Middle Ages and his praise of the medieval Gothic building of Notre Dame de Paris also make the work more romantic.
