'Stories of about the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and the hunchback of and the priest passes from person to person through Paris.' (p.52)
This is a story of an ugly man who rings a bell in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame.
Quasimodo is the man who has the job. When he was a infant, he was left on a road and adopted by the priest of the cathedral. As time passes, a beautiful gypsy dancer, Esmeralda appears in Paris, and then the priest feels passion for her. The priest let the hideous Quasimodo abduct on purpose, and plans to become a hero to help her. However, Esmeralda has a lovely husband. Above all, she learns that Quasimodo just follows the priest's. Soon after the priest knows that Esmeralda hates the priest, he tries to kill her husband... By using the power of the church to obtain inquired love, he is getting insane. What is going to happen to them?
The ending of the original story is totally different from a movie produced by Disney animation. Although the Disney version is got rid of scenes and settings relevant to religion and brutality, actually there are a lot of strange points in the traditional version. For instance, the whole story centers the authority of the church in the 15th century, however the characters appears not to have faith in God, rather the priest abuses his status and trust from citizens for his sided-love. In addition, at that time, the court indicates the present one as we can imagine. That is witch hunt. When I read this part of the court, this did not come to mind and considered it just a punishment. However, the witch hunt was meaningful to keep the society peaceful and ordered. If you would like to compare the two stories, please take a look at the website on the bottom.
