1. Notre Dame de Paris

The story takes place in the Middle Ages. "On April Fool's Day, wandering gypsies performed songs and dances in a square, and a gypsy girl named Esmeralda attracted passers-by with her beautiful face and graceful dance.

At that moment, Claude Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame de Paris, was instantly enamored of the beautiful Melada, and, with the fire of lust burning within him, fell madly in love with her. So he ordered the church bell-ringer, the strangely ugly-looking Quasimodo, to snatch Esmeralda. As it turned out, Fabi, the captain of the French king's bow, saved Esmeralda and captured Quasimodo. He takes the bell-ringer to the square to be flogged, and the kind Gypsy girl brings water to Quasimodo to drink instead of forgetting her former grudge.

The bell-ringer, who was ugly on the outside but pure and noble on the inside, was very grateful to Esmeralda and fell in love with her. Naive Esmeralda falls in love with Fabi at first sight, and when the two go out on a date, Frollo quietly follows behind, and out of jealousy, he stabs Fabi with a knife and escapes. Esmeralda, however, was sentenced to death for murder.

Casimodo snatched Esmeralda from under the gallows and hid her in Notre Dame de Paris, where Frollo took advantage of the situation to threaten the Gypsy girl to fulfill his lust, and when he was refused, handed her over to the king's army, and the innocent girl was hanged. Enraged, Quasimodo pushes Frollo off the church and falls to his death, and he embraces Esmeralda's body and dies as well.
