When the lucky King of Fools was brought out, amazement and appreciation were at their peak. He was seen to have a tetrahedral nose, a horseshoe-shaped mouth, one eye, a hunchback, a limp, a body about as high as it was wide, the lower part of his body squared off, and his two legs, when viewed from the front, looked as if they were two scythes, with the hilts joined to the handles of the blades. In the midst of all his deformities there was a firmness, a seriousness, a bravery that could not be questioned, and he was Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of Notre Dame de Paris, to whom the people dressed in a crown and doily made of cardboard, and carried him in a palanquin painted with flowers towards the Place de la Grève time.
In Greyfriars Square, Esmeralda, a gypsy girl who made her living as a street performer, attracted a lot of onlookers by her wonderful performance with her lamb Gary, and from time to time she won people's applause and hoots of applause, Esmeralda was dancing on a Persian carpet that was casually spread at her feet, and she was so light, airy, and joyful, that all the onlookers were transfixed, with wide-open mouths, by the splendid sight before them. mesmerized. In the dense crowd, there was a middle-aged man who was unimpressive but distinctive. His greedy eyes were fixed on Esmeralda, but his mouth was uttering cold, almost unheard curses, and his look was truly intimidating. This man was Kegerd Foullolou, the sub-prior of Notre Dame in Paris.
Florent has always shunned all worldly pleasures. But when he saw Esmeralda dancing tonight, he immediately fell in love with her unrivaled beauty. The latent lust in him was like a beast that had been sleeping for many years suddenly awakening so that he lost all self-control. Although he knew that if he did not restrain himself, he would fall into an extremely terrible abyss, but the desire seems to be irresistible. He clearly saw two paths before him to choose from: either to possess her at all costs, or to put her to death in order to find peace in his soul. At this point, the first option prevailed.
In the Dutch tower at the corner of the square, the abbess Gündil, having lost her daughter to the gypsies fifteen years earlier, is berating Esmeralda to go away in a pious, abhorrent voice, and Esmeralda is y horrified and disturbed by the curses of the vicar-general and the abbess.
When the members of the Society of the Friends of the Fools arrived in the square carrying Quasimodo, it was instantly the new hot spot of attention. The Fools defended their King of Fools from the swarming crowds, while the triumphant Quasimodo was as meek as a lamb when he caught a glimpse of Fulvio. It turns out that 16 years ago, as a deformed baby Gazimodo was abandoned in front of Notre Dame in Paris, the vice bishop out of pity to adopt him, and named him Gazimodo. Garcimodo was ashamed to know what he was doing, and was grateful and obedient to Lord Frollo.
By evening, the high point of the Feast of Fools had passed, and the people were dispersing. Esmeralda with her beloved little goat left the festival square, walking to the alley next to the square, authorized by Lord Fulloilo's Quasimodo is ready to seize Esmeralda, Esmeralda fought back, shouting for help. At that moment, the king's captain of archery, Furbyth, led his soldiers through the neighborhood and arrived to rescue Esmeralda and capture Gazimodo. Esmeralda, impressed by Vorbis's handsome features and the kindness of his rescue, asked the young officer his honorable name and then scampered back to the Miracle Dynasty, a gathering place for vagabonds and beggars.
"Miracle Dynasty" is a very large square, inhabited by the lower classes of people, they are French, Spanish, Italian, Germans, they have different religious beliefs, beggars by day, thieves by night. It is a fantastic world, a realm of hellish poetry. Esmeralda had great magic here, and when she returned the beggars of both sexes were gently arrayed, and their fierce countenances were cheered by the sight of her. At this time, the beggar king of the dynasty, Klopan, was judging the poor poet, Gangowar, who had strayed into this place. According to the law of the "dynasty", Gangowa will be hanged unless someone is willing to marry him. Time passes, and Gandharva's life is in danger. The kind and beautiful Esmeralda unexpectedly stepped forward and announced that she was willing to marry this man, thus sparing Gandharva's life.
The next day, a makeshift execution platform was set up in Grave's Square. Quasimodo, who yesterday was the King of Fools, today knelt on the turnstile to be flogged. When Furlough passed by and witnessed the scene, he knew of course what had brought Quasimodo to this state, but in order to save his own identity, he was so indifferent that he let it happen. Gazimodo saw Fulollo in the crowd, his heart rejoiced, but this righteous father who had adopted him back then panicked and avoided his gaze. More than an hour passed, and Garcimodo's thirst was so great that he roared angrily, "Give me water!" Not only did the onlookers pay no attention, but instead there was a chorus of teasing and cursing.
