Notre Dame de Paris Reading Notes I:
Notre Dame de Paris is Hugo's first major romantic novel. It is written in a bizarre and contrasting way a story that happened in the 15th century France: Claude, the vice bishop of Notre Dame de Paris, is a moralistic and snake-hearted man, who loves first and hates later, persecuting the gypsy girl Esmeralda, while Gazimodo, the ugly and kind-hearted bell-ringer, sacrifices his life to save Esmeralda. The novel exposes the hypocrisy of religion, celebrates the goodness of the lower class working people, love, and the excellent quality of giving up one's life for others, and reflects Hugo's humanitarian thought. Its plot twists and turns, character character more conflictual, is a work rich in drama. And the historical background of Notre Dame de Paris also reflects the dark reality of Louis XI era's corrupt political and power rule, which made innocent people fall into the victims.
In 1482, the city of Paris, under the rule of King Louis XI, was immersed in the carnival atmosphere of April Fool's Day. On the square in front of Notre Dame, Esmeralda, a gypsy girl from Egypt, danced to the applause of the people with her beautiful face and graceful posture. She took the reward money that the people had given her, and gave it to the poor children, and said to them, "Take all this money, and go your way to the festival!" The children asked her, "What about you?" She said, "Leave me alone, I have a holiday every day." -------- Yes, that's her Esmeralda ....... But, the gods of destiny fixed everything at this time. In the midst of the many spectators, a pale, middle-aged man, dressed in black clerical robes, hid behind a glass window and also peeped at Esmeralda dancing. He was Claude Fouloureau, the alchemist and deputy bishop 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, saying that he would not be allowed to fool around in front of the church. And all this only for the sake of his disinterested psyche ........ These vendors did not take him seriously and attacked him. While this was going on, out of the church rushed a flush-looking, tall, powerful man, who pushed his way through the crowd and saved the priest. He was Quasimodo. It turned out that he was a deformed child abandoned by his parents in front of Notre Dame in Paris, and Furlough raised him out of pity, deafened by ringing the bells all day long. For the sake of devotion, it's not his fault. The merrymakers were looking for a "Pope of Fools", and Esmeralda took a shine to the deaf and ugly bell-tower monster, Quasimodo. He was crowned, robed, whistled, and paraded through the streets on a high palanquin. Quasimodo was happily blowing the whistle when he suddenly saw the grim-faced Fouro Lou standing in front of the palanquin. The priest knocked off his crown and dragged him back to Notre Dame. Why? Perhaps only for the unbearable humility!
Is it my fault that she is so beautiful? Is it my fault that she dances so well? Is it my fault that she can drive men mad?" He couldn't help himself, "Go!" Yet this command changed her fate ..... Quasimodo, "Go get her!" The clock tower monster ran quickly to Esmeralda, picked her up and ran toward Notre Dame ...... A destiny that cannot be escaped ......
A "help", let her wander in the "miracle dynasty". And at that time in that "miracle dynasty" under the rule of the "black language kingdom", the beggar king Klauban is trying to understand the cut and mistakenly into the "kingdom territory" of the poor poet dry fruit a. And in accordance with the rules of the dynasty, he only has a few days to go to the court. 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's too thin. The only option was to be hanged by the neck. 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 fed and sheltered him, but did not share her room with him. At this point, if it were us, ask how many people would be willing to do this? How many people have such courage and guts?
And when we see Garcimodo, who committed the crime of forcibly robbing the people's women, was brought to the square for public flogging after a cursory trial. Kneeling under the scorching sun on behalf of the people suffered from the thirst of the clock tower monster, he shouted to the soldiers and the crowd of onlookers for water, but answered him a tease and abuse. At that moment, the beautiful Esmeralda, who had been a part of the crowd, brought the water to the mouth of Quasimodo. With a heart full of gratitude, Gazimodo said with tears in his eyes, "Mai Mai Mai", and at this moment he made a lifelong promise. See here, I should be happy or sad?
In the square, the poor poet helps Esmeralda put on a program of goats to recognize words. The goat picks up the name of Phoebus, the sun god, in a pile of Latin letters. At this time Phoebus is pandering to the queen and her daughter for favor in the palace next to the square. Princess Lily told Phoebus to go to the square and drive Esmeralda away to confirm his love for her. Phoebus rides to the square, loudly booms the entertainers who are performing, and whispers to the girl that he has booked a rendezvous for tonight at the usual place. But this rendezvous, who knew that what brought her was endless darkness .......
Disturbed Fulolu heard that the dry Goa and the girl to marry, angry very angry, when they learned that they are only a nominal husband and wife, and then turned to happiness. He met Phoebus, the drunken captain of the guards, on the street, and heard him say that he was going to meet with the girl, and immediately urged him to stop, claiming that the girl was already married, but Phoebus retorted, "Why do you confuse love and marriage? And who should discourage whom? Is selfishness really the soul of mankind? Evil? Darkness? The gears are still turning quietly .........
For what? Quasimodo hides the girl in his own housing and sleeps like a daemon at the door of the house? And when Esmeralda, who suddenly awoke, saw the face of Quasimodo, she was terrified. Quasimodo hastens to escape and runs to the bell tower and bangs his head desperately against the great bell, which chimes low as a sob. Esmeralda came to him, and Gazimodo, 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. Exceedingly excited, Quasimodo 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. Love in the frozen season. Suddenly the girl spots the captain of the guards in the square; she calls his name, but he doesn't look up at her. She asked Gazimodo 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 found that he had dishonored the girl's mission. And y remorseful ........
The girl forced to occupy the unavailability of Fulollo harboring resentment, kneeling to the king, to ask for advice on how to solve the problem of the right of refuge in the church. The king consults an old scholar still in prison and finally decides that he can force his way into Notre Dame to capture the witch, regardless of the right of sanctuary. Quasimodo closed the doors of the church tightly while Fulollo was out. That transcendent love breaks through the darkness, but then locks itself deep into the gatehouse non .....
The beggar king Crowban heard that the right of refuge in the church is about to end, led thousands of Parisian vagabonds and beggars, came to attack Notre Dame de Paris, to rescue the sister in great distress, see how beautiful and kind she is! Who else would have come to her rescue? And the unknown truth of how to allow these people rushed into the church, he from the roof of the building is still down huge stone stone, pouring hot metal liquid, trying to disperse the crowd. The kind of self-protection beyond the other people have to be impressed! Brave beggar finally broke down the door, rescued Esmeralda. Unexpectedly, the king's soldiers have entered the church from the back door, raining arrows on Esmeralda and wandering sweaters. The beggar king was also killed in the melee. Blood was flowing as if it were a bloodstained paradise ........ Quasimodo stood on the roof of the building and watched in agony as his beloved girl was hung on the gallows again. When he realized that Furlough was grinning at Esmeralda from the belfry, he lifted the moralistic beast over his head and stilled it . An act of madness, a transcendent love that cuts eternity ........
The body of Esmeralda, relieved from the gallows, was placed in the great burial grotto of Monfougon, where Quasimodo, having found her, lay quietly beside her. Why doesn't the sky give a torrential ........ rain? Why? Why? Why?
Two years later, two corpses were found clinging to each other. When people tried to separate them, the bones turned to dust.
Esmeralda, not only has amazing beauty, but also has a noble and pure heart, beauty and goodness in her body combined so perfectly, so that she has a dazzling charm. Because of her amazing charm, she attracted the desire of the evil one, and because of her pure innocence, she was plunged into the disaster of love tragedy. The fact that she was hanged when she should have been God's favorite makes me feel the immense cruelty of those in power. Nonetheless, she is lucky to have someone who will always be there for her and never be alone.
Quasimodo, a church bell ringer unique in literary history. He was one-eyed, hunchbacked, rotund, and deaf, which makes him oddly ugly. However, he has a kind heart, willing to become the slave of the vice bishop for his nurturing, and would rather give his liver and brain in order to repay Esmeralda's dripping kindness. Although he harbors an extremely strong love for Esmeralda, he only guards her like a daemon and does not go to blaspheme her. When he witnesses the love of his life being mercilessly hanged, he is so helpless and desperate that he ends up going to the cemetery to be buried with her. His ugliness reaches the human extreme, but the profound human beauty shown in him makes him the most unique and touching artistic image in the history of literature. The beauty of his heart has completely covered the defects of his appearance, and he has become a model of goodness in people's minds. And how many people in our reality?
Claude Fuller, as a priest, he must repress their own desires, it is this repression of his human nature distorted, lust and jealousy ultimately caused his reason out of control, to become a slave of their own desires, by the priests into the devil. This is not exactly the demise of feudalism?
The captain of the guards, Phoebus, handsome appearance is a snob, thin emotion and righteousness, in order to power and wealth at all costs to deceive, blasphemy, an innocent girl's love. He makes me feel shameful, abominable, detestable, hateful ......
Notre Dame de Paris Reading Notes II:It can be said that in so many novels I read, I was most inspired only by this Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris". I read the novel generally only read about, but this book I read from beginning to end, very touched.
Here I would like to share with those who read my book tips. What first drew me to this book was the religious mysticism portrayed in the book. A bell ringer who is so ugly is adopted by a priest who seems so gorgeous and reverent on the outside. However foolishly I thought at first that the ugly bell ringer Quasimodo would be a truly ugly and evil man like his adopted father Claude. When I read about Quasimodo's final rescue of the angelic, kind-hearted gypsy maiden Esmeralda from the fire, my eyes bristled with tears. I cried because I was really touched by the characters of the story in the novel, and I cried also because I read and woke up to not only a novel, but more about human destiny and self-welfare.
In the novel, although it is a virtual world, but they are as colorful and tense as our love and hate. We see a kind of sadistic nature of man in Father Claude, who has a strong brooding character that screams kicking and screaming, while I just want to just want to curse him painfully, to long for the end to punish him. In such a stark contrast, Quasimodo, the bell ringer who seems ugly to people, is so sweet and kind. One-eyed, deaf, and hunchbacked ...... It seemed that God had left him with all the misfortunes. I still vividly remember a few images of Quasimodo in the book. The king's guards began to attack to capture Esmeralda, and Quasimodo swore to protect him. But his strength alone must be limited, and Esmeralda is killed by a hail of arrows. Quasimodo was devastated to see her body being dragged away. He throws Father Claude, the real murderer, from the top floor of Notre Dame. This shocking and disturbing scene has always stuck in my mind. It is also written in the book that three years later, people found two bones entwined together, and when they tried to separate them, the two bones turned into dust and disappeared without a trace. Such an ending is hazy and imaginative, I do like it.
The author Hugo, can be said to be one of my favorite foreign writers, from his novels, especially this "Notre Dame de Paris" learned a kind of fraternity of true beauty. I remember Hugo once said: the world's widest is the ocean, wider than the ocean is the sky, wider than the sky is the human heart. Yes, a person to learn to really have the truth, goodness and beauty, then he should first of all have a broad mind, but this kind of mind and fraternity is not unconditional, in the respect for human rights and adhere to the conditions of humanitarianism, we have to have the essence of goodness and morality, but we also have to brush our eyes, can not let some like Kloder such as the wolves in sheepskin to take advantage of our goodness, to the scourge of the earth. On top of the absolutely correct revolution there is also an absolutely correct humanitarianism, I always believe that with a heart of good and evil and fraternity to see the world, everything will be so beautiful and painful, dare to love and hate, to be a fraternity of people, I am grateful to Hugo, thanks to their own heart of this novel "Notre Dame de Paris" is very honored and happy, I hope that I can continue to learn from the book of life and learn to look at the world, to look at I hope I can continue to learn from the book to learn to see the world, to see myself.
Notre Dame de Paris is a novel written by the French writer Victor Hugo, first published on January 14, 1831 . The story is set in 1482 in `Notre Dame de Paris, the content around a gypsy girl (La, Esmeralda) and by the vice bishop (Knod. Fronteau) and the hunchbacked bell-ringer of Notre Dame (Quasimodo), who was raised by the vicar-general (Knod. Fronteau). The story has been adapted several times into movies, TV series and musicals.
Notre Dame de Paris, majestic, with its immortal wisdom, in its existence so far more than 800 years, silently watching the rolling river, the multitude of beings, was once how many human tragedies, human comedy witness! In Hugo's novel, it seems to have the breath of life, sheltering Esmeralda, confirming the crimes of Claude, lamenting the heroic sacrifice of all the heroes trying to combat the darkness of the rule, praising Quasimodo's insignificant particles of dust and mustard, and putting all the wolves, tigers, and leopards, and all the executioners under the foot of the chivalrous behavior; it is even merged with Quasimodo as a single entity, which is not only the master of this monstrous man's soul but also his monstrous body support. grotesque shell. Under Hugo's skillful writing, it came to life, and also added to the great writer's glory with the symphony of destiny that it inscribed, recounted and majestically performed. The beautiful Notre Dame de Paris is a gem of Gothic architecture. Hugo as early as his teenage years on the art of architecture, especially the Gothic architectural art has a strong interest, and in his youth, he carried out at least three years of preparation, familiar with the medieval French society, especially repeatedly into the recesses of Notre Dame in person, at the same time widely read the relevant information, mastered the French proud of this building all the mysteries, in July 1830 to begin to write. He pretended to find, in a dark corner of one of the two lofty bell towers, this Greek word hand-carved on the wall by a medieval figure: destiny! The author was y moved by the fatalistic allegory of the omnipresence of this force of darkness, the Devil, which governs the destiny of mankind and, in fact, of all the people of that age of ignorance. Indeed, the book "Notre Dame de Paris" was written in order to narrate the word of destiny, and the great humanist Hugo sought the true meaning of destiny. Whether it is Crowder, or Quasimodo, they are ultimately social people, their inner division, conflict, reflecting their time between theocracy and human rights, ignorance and knowledge, the huge heavy dark system and the struggle of the fragile individual between the division, conflict, and finally led to the tragedy of the tragedy of the tragic end of the sacrifice of all the characters. The destiny we see in this masterpiece is to exert its sweeping power in a particular setting, the medieval capital of France, a society where ignorance, superstition, and barbarism reigned supreme. As a masterpiece of Romanticism, Notre Dame de Paris, precisely because the author strives to conform to the original appearance of nature, portraying the real life of medieval French society, with excellent techniques and romantic forms, based on the development of moving plots, cohesion and refinement in this masterpiece to present their vivid appearance and rich connotation, won another victory of Romanticism to break the rigid pattern of classicism after Ainani. It is an angry and tragic work of destiny. It is a symphony of angry and tragic destiny.
Notre Dame de Paris Book Notes 3:
The novel takes place in 15th-century Paris, with Notre Dame de Paris at the center of the plot threads.
The protagonist, Quasimodo, is the outcast son of wandering gypsies (Sai), born deformed: one-eyed, hunchbacked, and lame. The Gypsies secretly trade him for Agne, the youngest daughter of a woman in the place of Rém. Claude, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame in Paris, adopted Gazimodo and made him a bell-ringer in Notre Dame when he came of age. As a result of his long years of bell-ringing, he became deaf again. Garcimodo was faithful to his office and held the vice-regent in great reverence and obedience.
One night on a feast day, the deputy bishop instructed Gazimodo to rob the Gibsian maiden Esméharda, who was run over by the king's guards, and was rescued by Fabi, the captain. The next day Gazimodo was sentenced to be flogged and shown to the public under the drumsticks of the Gray Bedford Square. Gazimodo was in agony and asked for water. When the deputy bishop saw this, he quietly slipped away, but the Gibbsian maiden boldly brought water to the tortured Gazimodo to drink. The poor bell-ringer was grateful to her from then on.
It turned out that the Gipsy maiden was Agnè, who had been stolen by the vagabonds. She was young, beautiful and could sing and dance. After being saved by the captain of the guard, Fabi, on the night of the festival, she fell in love with him and agreed to meet. When the vice-principal learns of this, he follows Fabi, hides in the place where they met, and when Fabi and Esméharda are professing their love for each other, he stabs Fabi with a dagger and slips away himself. Esméharda, who had fainted from fear, was arrested, and the court accused her of murdering the king's guards by sorcery, and tortured her to make her confess, thus sentencing her to be hanged. In prison, the deputy bishop repeatedly told Esméharda that she would be spared death if she would love him. But the young girl was firmly in love with Fabi, and the deputy bishop, infuriated, announced the execution by hanging. The day before the execution, Esmeralda knelt before the gates of Notre Dame to perform the rite of penance. Suddenly, Quasimodo rushed out and picked up the young girl and crossed the threshold of Notre Dame, shouting, "Holy ground!" The guards, the jailers, and the crowd of onlookers were afraid to act because, according to the religious statutes of the time, anyone in the church was to be protected by God and could not be arrested, even if they had committed a capital offense. Quasimodo hid Esmeralda in a small room in the highest tower, took his own food and bedding and gave them to her, and guarded the door of her room every night, and treated her with great affection. Soon the deputy bishop found this hiding place, sneaked into the room at night and tried to force j the young girl, but was discovered by the guarded Gazimodo attempted.
The vagabonds, learning that Esmeralda had been unjustly sentenced to death, were so enraged that they each armed themselves and rushed all the way to the court, all the way to besiege Notre Dame de Paris. But Gazimodo, who loved the Gibson girl, being deaf, mistook them for the enemy who had come after her, and threw down on the roof of the church all kinds of building materials used for repairing the house, causing a great number of casualties among the vagabonds. King Louis XI, while disliking the religious forces, fears that the people will rise up and send an army to suppress them.
The vice-priest took advantage of the situation and tricked Esmeralda, dragging her to the drumsticks and forcing her to choose: either to go to the gallows, or to promise to love him. The young girl looked down on him and gave up rather than die. The vicar-general dragged her to the "rat-hole", told Sister Gudrill to seize her, and ran off to call the guards.
Sister Gudrill is in fact the mother of the girl. After she lost her little daughter, she ran around with an embroidered shoe, and in desperation, she converted to religion and became a nun in a living coffin, the "mouse hole". When Esmeralda saw the shoe, she took out the same embroidered shoe that was in her amulet, and mother and daughter met. The nun breaks the bars of the barred window and hides her daughter, whom she has lost for sixteen years, in the "rat hole", where they revel in the joy of being reunited. At that moment, the prison warden and the guards called by the vice bishop surrounded the "rat hole". Mother's love gave Gudiel strength and wisdom, and she deceived them into believing that the Gibson girl had escaped. But when Esméharda heard Fabi's name, she could not help rushing out of the window and exposing herself. So mother and daughter were taken to the execution ground, the daughter to the gallows, and the mother to a horrible death beneath it.
In the end, Quasimodo, having seen through the ugly soul of the deputy bishop, and having pushed him from the tower to his death, finds Esméharda's body and clings to it to die.
The novel very powerfully exposes the cruelty and hypocrisy of religion through the despicable behavior of the vice-priest. It is the religion that binds human nature that makes his love turn into a terrible desire, harming others and not getting a good ending for himself. The work also uses the ugliness of Quasimodo's appearance to contrast with his inner beauty. Gypsy girl Esmeralda is the author's ideal incarnation, in her embodiment of the most noble feelings and the most beautiful image in Hugo's mind.
