Esmeralda
Esmeralda is pure and innocent, passionate and naive, full of longing and desire for love. Precisely because she thought that the world treats people with sincerity and honesty like her, she gave her love to Forbes when he saved her by chance during a patrol. It was because she was pure and innocent in her pursuit of pure love and happiness. So she loved Forbes to death, not suspecting that he would cheat and betray her and fantasizing that he would come back to save her, and her innocence was heartbreaking.
Esmeralda's character was steadfast and unshakable. When she was falsely accused and put on death row, when Frollo tricked her out of the bell tower of Notre Dame, Frollo asked her to choose between death or submission several times, and she preferred death to submission in the face of Frollo's tyranny. Before her execution, Frollo lures her into submission by offering her life, and she looks at the gallows and replies flatly, "It does not frighten me as much as you do," and "Dreadful, filthy demon monk!" "I'll tear off your wretched gray hairs and throw them in your face by the handful!" "Go to hell!" She preferred the gallows to the vile hypocrite Frollo, once again asserting her dignity and character.
Casimodo
Casimodo has ugly to the extreme looks: geometric face, tetrahedral nose, horseshoe-shaped mouth, uneven teeth, one-eyed, deaf, hunchbacked ...... it seems that God will be all the misfortunes in his body. Hugo molded is not only a simple "ugly monster", he gave Quasimodo a "beautiful", an implied inner beauty. Quasimodo's appearance is ugly, but his heart is noble. He bravely rescued Esmeralda from the "tiger's mouth" of the feudal church, and saved the girl's life by "taking refuge in the temple". In Notre Dame, Quasimodo took care of Esmeralda in every possible way. In the end, Quasimodo puts on the garland of the "King of Uglies" amidst the jeers of the crowd; he swears to protect Esmeralda but is an accomplice of the moralistic Claude; he has just watched his beloved girl married to the "gallows" from the bell tower, but he is compelled to Will his own "regeneration parents" into pieces ...... As a romantic work, the dramatic scenes that give us a heart-stopping shock, but also between the characters and their own inner and the contradictions of the conflict is expressed to the fullest extent.
