Love Legend of Notre Dame de Paris

In 1482, the city of Paris, under the rule of King Louis XI, was immersed in the carnival atmosphere of "April Fools' Day". On the square in front of Notre Dame, Esmeralda, a gypsy girl from Egypt, won the applause of the people with her beautiful face and graceful dance. She took the money they gave her and gave it to the poor children, saying to them, "Take all this money and go to your festival!" The children asked her, "What about you?" She said, "Leave me alone, I'm having a festival every day." In the midst of the many spectators, a pale, middle-aged man, dressed in a black clerical robe, hid behind a glass window and peeped in to watch Esmeralda dance, too. He was Claude Frollo, the vice-priest and alchemist of Notre Dame de Paris. When he saw the colorful gypsy girl singing and dancing, her brisk steps and exquisite dance suddenly awakened the lust he had buried in his heart for more than ten years. He was unable to control himself, unable to cast away the devil that had captured his soul. In order to get rid of the boredom in his heart, he went to the square to drive away the vendors who were hawking, claiming that they were not allowed to fool around in front of the church. The vendors did not take him seriously and attacked him. At that moment, from inside the church rushed out a man of ugly appearance, tall stature and great strength, who pushed away the crowd and saved the priest. The man's name was Quasimodo. It turned out that he was a deformed child abandoned by his parents in front of Notre Dame, and Frollo raised him out of pity, deafened by his daily bell ringing. The revelers were looking for a "Pope of Fools", and Esmeralda spotted Quasimodo, the deaf and ugly bell-tower monster. He was crowned, robed, and whistled, and was paraded through the streets on a high palanquin. Quasimodo was whistling happily when he suddenly saw the grim-faced Frollo standing in front of the palanquin. The priest knocks off his crown and drags him back to Notre Dame. But Frollo could not sleep in his lust, for Esmeralda, who was leading the little goat, was still singing in the square before the church door. He said aloud to himself, "In the world of men I have nothing but pain. Is it my fault that she looks so beautiful? Is it my fault that she dances so well? Is it my fault that she can drive people crazy?" He couldn't help himself, "Go!" He ordered Quasimodo, "Go get her!" The clock tower monster ran quickly to Esmeralda, picked her up and ran towards Notre Dame. Esmeralda fought back and cried out, "Help!" The captain of the guards, Phoebus, who was on patrol, heard the cries and rode his horse to the rescue of the gypsy girl and captured Quasimodo. Phoebus took Esmeralda to an inn, asked for a room, and was about to molest her, the vigilant girl got rid of his entanglement, and ran back to the Parisian vagabonds and beggars gathered in the "Dynasty of Miracles". In this "miracle dynasty" under the rule of the "kingdom of black words", the beggar king Klauban is trying to understand the incision and mistakenly into the "kingdom territory" of the poor poet dry Goa. According to the rules of the dynasty, he has only two choices: to be paired with a noose, or to get married to one of the women of the kingdom. But none of the older women want him because they think he is too thin. Thus, Gangua is left to hang. In the nick of time, Esmeralda stepped forward and cried out, "I want him". Thus, the two were married on the spot. The kind-hearted maiden agreed to marry him, but only to save his life by taking him back to her home, where she gave him food and lodging, but did not share her room with him. Quasimodo, who was guilty of forcibly robbing the people's women, was taken to the square for a public flogging after a cursory trial. Kneeling under the scorching sun on behalf of the people suffered from the thirst of the bell tower monster, he shouted to the soldiers and the crowd of onlookers for water, answered him with a piece of teasing and insults. At this point, the beautiful Esmeralda, who had been a part of the crowd, brought the water to Quasimodo's mouth. Heart full of gratitude, Quasimodo with tears in his eyes, could not help saying: "Beautiful ...... beautiful ...... beautiful" In the square, the poor poet helped Esmeralda to put on a program of the little goat to recognize words. The little goat picked up the name of the sun god Faubus in a pile of Latin letters. At this time Faubus is pandering to the queen and her daughter for favor in the royal palace next to the square. Princess Lily told Faubus to go to the square and drive Esmeralda away to confirm his love for her. Phobos rides to the square, loudly booming out the entertainers who are performing, and whispering to the girl that he has booked a rendezvous with her to meet her at the usual place tonight. The distraught Frollo is furious and angry when he hears that the dried Goa'uld and the girl are married, and then turns sad when he learns that they are only husband and wife in name only. He meets the drunken captain of the guards, Phoebus, in the street, and, hearing him say that he is going to meet the girl, immediately urges him to prevent him from doing so, claiming that the girl is already married, but Phoebus retorts, "Why do you confuse love with marriage?" He went straight to the inn, followed by Frollo like a shadow. When Furbis arrived at the small upstairs of the inn, Esmeralda was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for him. As they kissed and embraced passionately, Faubus handed the girl the dagger he had strapped to his body, and she threw it out of the window in a smooth motion. It so happened that the dagger landed in front of the eyes of Frollo, who was eavesdropping outside the window. As the lovers embrace again in a passionate embrace, Frollo picks up the dagger and stabs it through the window into the back of Faubus. In the courtroom at Esmeralda's trial, the gnome owner of the inn testifies to seeing a black-clad man who smelled of sulfur and, like the devil, turned silver coins into dried leaves. Frollo, who sat on the judgment seat, said, "It was the devil, not the girl, who stabbed the captain of the guard." Innocent Esmeralda cares only for the life or death of the captain of the guard, for Furbis can prove that she threw the dagger out of the window. But the court told her that the captain of the guard was not only alive, but knew nothing of the murder. He refused to exonerate the girl, much to Esmeralda's dismay. Under torture, the girl confessed that she had used magic to drive the devil in black to assassinate the captain of the guard. The court sentenced the girl to be hanged and executed the next day. After Quasimodo rings the bell, from the tower he sees Frollo gazing nervously at the square in front of Notre Dame. Esmeralda, in her white condemned robe, stood under the gallows, hastily erected during the night, the noose around her neck, calmly awaiting the moment of execution. Quasimodo rushed recklessly through the door and snatched the girl into Notre Dame de Paris. The soldiers at the execution were shocked and dumbfounded as they watched the Clock Tower Monster hijack the phalanx all by himself. Because of Notre Dame's right of asylum, the soldiers dare not trespass. Quasimodo hides the girl in his own housing, where he sleeps like a patron saint at the door. He gives the girl the whistle he got on April Fool's Day and tells her that when she is in distress, she can blow the whistle and he will come to her rescue. Frollo goes out into the countryside and, after running around like a madman, returns to Notre Dame. He found that Esmeralda had not only not been put to death, but was close by. He follows her into Quasimodo's room, and Esmeralda is furious when she realizes that this man is the man in black who assassinated Faubus. As Frollo is about to rape her, she blows a whistle. Quasimodo arrives at the sound of the whistle, drives away his former benefactor, and tells the girl that it was his idea to rob her that time. Quasimodo felt infinite gratitude and pure adoration for Esmeralda. He looks rapturously at the sleeping beauty, and the girl, suddenly awakening, is horrified by his ugly face. Quasimodo makes haste to escape, and runs to the belfry and bangs his head desperately against the great bell, which chimes low as a sob. Esmeralda came to him, and Quasimodo, covering his face with his hands, murmured, "My face is ugly and always frightens people." To comfort him, the girl dances for him with a cheerful rhythm. Quasimodo, who was so excited, rang the bell of Notre Dame for the girl with the weight of his body as if he were on a swing. His hearty laughter fills the entire bell tower. Quasimodo flew around the bell tower on a rope, picking blooming flowers for Esmeralda. Suddenly the girl spots the captain of the guards in the square, and she calls his name, but he does not look up at her. She asked Quasimodo to go to him, but he ignored the girl's request and galloped away in order to get the princess's rich dowry and his domain in St. Paul. The kind-hearted Quasimodo felt that he had dishonored the girl's mission. Holding a grudge against Frollo, who had failed to take the girl by force, he knelt down to the king and asked for advice on how to solve the problem of the right of refuge in Notre Dame. The king consults an old scholar who is still in prison and finally decides that he can force his way into Notre Dame to capture the witch despite the right of asylum. Quasimodo shuts the doors of the church tightly while Frollo is out. Hearing that the right of asylum in Notre Dame is about to end, Crowban, the King of Beggars, leads thousands of Parisian vagabonds and beggars to attack Notre Dame in Paris and rescue the sisters in great distress. Unknown to Quasimodo how to allow these people rushed into the church, he threw from the roof of the building of huge stones and rocks, pouring hot metal liquid, trying to disperse the crowd. The brave beggar finally broke through the doors and rescued Esmeralda. Unexpectedly, the king's soldiers who were waiting in the back door had already entered the church, raining arrows on Esmeralda and the vagabonds. The beggar king was also killed in the melee. Quasimodo stands on the roof of the building and watches in pain as his beloved girl is hung on the gallows again. When he finds Frollo grinning at Esmeralda from the belfry, he lifts the moralizing beast over his head and throws him down. Esmeralda's body, freed from the gallows, was placed in the great grave grotto of Monfougon, where Quasimodo lay quietly beside her when he found her. Two years later, two corpses were found clasped together. When people tried to separate them, the bones turned to dust.
