About This Novel
"Notre Dame de Paris" tells the story of Esmeralda, a beautiful and pure Gypsy girl who performs on the street. Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame, covets her beauty and wants to take it for himself. Later, he discovered that she had another lover, so he assassinated her lover and blamed him, causing her to be sentenced to death. Cassimordo, the ugly bell ringer who was favored by Esmeralda by chance, was full of love and humility for her. He rescued her and took refuge in Notre Dame. Later, Frollo kidnapped her and after failing to force her to succumb to his bestial desires, he handed her over to the officers and soldiers and watched her being hanged upstairs in Notre Dame. In despair, Cassimordor angrily pushed Frollo, who raised him, down the stairs and fell to death. He went to the Eagle Mountain Crypt to hug Esmeralda's body and die with her, completing his "wedding".
