00:20.8
In this video, we'll discover the dark story
00:20.9
00:22.5
of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
00:22.6
00:28.1
There were inappropriate scenes for kids in the Disney version;
00:28.2
00:32.8
but, what about its original version written by Victor Hugo.
00:32.9
00:38.3
But before we discuss that, let's recall first its Disney movie.
00:38.4
00:42.2
The Hunchback of Notre Dame took place in Paris, France.
00:42.3
00:46.1
It is about a deformed bell-ringer named Quasimodo.
00:46.2
00:51.7
He was born in a family of Gypsy who were killed by a Minister of Justice
00:51.8
00:55.2
named Claude Frollo, who is extremely mad at the Gypsies.
00:55.3
00:57.5
Just so Frollo won't feel guilty
00:57.6
01:01.1
and to cover up his murder of an innocent woman,
01:01.2
01:04.1
he adopted her disabled child.
01:04.2
01:06.5
He named him Quasimodo.
01:06.6
01:09.1
He raised him at the Notre Dame Cathedral
01:09.2
01:12.8
and the disabled kid became a bell-ringer.
01:12.9
01:16.0
The relationship between Frollo and Quasimodo weren't good
01:16.1
01:19.2
because Frollo made Quasimodo believe that
01:19.3
01:22.5
it wasn't safe for the likes of him to go out of the church.
01:22.6
01:26.8
He said that Quasimodo was too weak for the complicated world outside.
01:26.9
01:30.8
Even though he remained hidden and prohibited to go out,
01:30.9
01:36.4
Quasimodo still decided to go to their town's annual celebration
01:36.5
01:39.0
called Festival of Fools.
01:39.1
01:41.0
He enjoyed the beginning of the event
01:41.1
01:45.2
but eventually, he was humiliated by everyone.
01:45.3
01:51.2
After the humiliation ended, a Gypsy named Esmeralda came.
01:51.3
01:52.3
She saved Quasimodo.
01:52.4
01:55.4
But in order to prevent Esmeralda from being arrested
01:55.5
02:00.9
because of using witchcraft, she temporarily stayed at Notre Dame
02:01.0
02:04.4
as it was safe from any laws.
02:04.5
02:07.9
In this movie, Esmeralda captured the hearts of
02:08.0
02:15.0
three men: Quasimodo, the captain of the guards named Phoebus, and the scary Frollo.
02:15.1
02:19.0
Eventually, Frollo learned Esmeralda's escape plan.
02:19.1
02:21.5
Frollo kept on trying to capture and burn her
02:21.6
02:25.2
because Esmeralda rejected his feelings.
02:25.3
02:27.8
Quasimodo had saved Esmeralda
02:27.9
02:32.4
and Phoebus freed the Gypsys that were imprisoned by Frollo.
02:32.5
02:37.0
Frollo had another chance to kill Quasimodo and Esmeralda,
02:37.1
02:42.5
but after several fights, Frollo fell to his death.
02:42.6
02:45.9
At the end of the movie, Quasimodo became a hero
02:46.0
02:50.7
for saving Esmeralda and the people of Paris.
02:50.8
02:53.9
Meanwhile, Phoebus and Esmeralda fell in love and became a couple.
02:54.0
02:58.8
Quasimodo accepted it and they lived happily ever after.
02:58.9
03:02.6
We can tell that this story wasn't really for kids
03:02.7
03:07.7
because there were killing and burning of people in this Disney version.
03:07.8
03:12.5
However, the original version written by Victor Hugo in 1833
03:12.6
03:15.1
was scarier and creepier.
03:15.2
03:18.8
This novel was entitled Notre Dame De Paris.
03:18.9
03:22.7
And here's how the story started...
03:22.8
03:26.6
Similar to the movie, Quasimodo was born a Gypsy
03:26.7
03:31.2
but the mother didn't die saving him.
03:31.3
03:37.4
In this book, his mother took a female child from a woman named Gudule
03:37.5
03:41.4
and exchanged Quasimodo which is her own son.
03:41.5
03:47.7
Gudule lost her mind for not seeing her real child
03:47.8
03:51.7
and she thought Gypsy ate her daughter.
03:51.8
03:55.0
She left Quasimodo in an orphanage at Notre Dame.
03:55.1
03:59.4
Time has passed and nobody still wants to adopt Quasimodo
03:59.5
04:02.1
besides the priest named Claude Frollo.
04:02.2
04:07.6
He adopted Quasimodo because he reminds him of his brother.
04:07.7
04:10.7
According to the book, when Frollo was still young,
04:10.8
04:13.3
his parents died in a plague.
04:13.4
04:17.5
He was left to take care of his younger brother.
04:17.6
04:22.4
He felt pity for the child and he also named him Quasimodo.
04:22.5
04:25.2
He raised him in the church and taught him
04:25.3
04:28.6
how to read, how to write, and a few social skills.
04:28.7
04:32.8
Aside from his physical disabilities such as being hunchbacked,
04:32.9
04:38.4
he has a big mole on his right eye which made him blind in one eye and
04:38.5
04:40.7
he has huge birthmarks on his face.
04:40.8
04:46.1
He also has mental disabilities that make him slow in learning.
04:46.2
04:48.9
Frollo wasn't happy about it.
04:49.0
04:53.6
Quasimodo had liked the Church's campane since he was young.
04:53.7
04:58.5
So when he turned fourteen, he became the official bellringer of the church
04:58.6
05:00.9
and because of it, he also became deaf.
05:01.0
05:05.2
Even though Frollo had a good intention in adopting Quasimodo,
05:05.3
05:10.8
they still didn't have a good relationship because of Quasimodo's many disabilities.
05:10.9
05:15.9
Similar to the movie, Quasimodo also wanted to witness the life outside church
05:16.0
05:18.3
so he attended the town's celebration.
05:18.4
05:20.8
He was also titled as the Pope of Fools for
05:20.9
05:23.8
having the ugliest face in their town.
05:23.9
05:29.0
Because of this, half of the audience's attention was focused
05:29.1
05:32.2
on Quasimodo The Hunchback and the others were watching
05:32.3
05:35.5
the dance of a pretty girl named Esmeralda.
05:35.6
05:39.1
Here's where Frollo first saw Esmeralda and he immediately
05:39.2
05:43.4
got fascinated even though he has responsibilities at the church.
05:43.5
05:46.9
Because of Frollo's desire to have Esmeralda,
05:47.0
05:50.8
he ordered Quasimodo to kidnap her.
05:50.9
05:54.1
But their plan was unsuccessful.
05:54.2
05:56.4
The people caught Quasimodo.
05:56.5
05:59.7
Quasimodo's trial court didn't turn out well.
05:59.8
06:03.5
Just like what I mentioned earlier, Quasimodo is deaf
06:03.6
06:07.1
and the Judge of his trial is also deaf.
06:07.2
06:09.3
The two deafs weren't able to communicate well
06:09.4
06:12.1
and the audience laughed at them.
06:12.2
06:15.0
The judge thought that Quasimodo was fooling him.
06:15.1
06:17.5
He got mad and gave Quasimodo a punishment of
06:17.6
06:22.6
pillory while getting whipped for two hours in front of many people.
06:22.7
06:26.3
He was also getting hit by the angry people.
06:26.4
06:32.1
There were moments that he saw his adoptive father just looking at him.
06:32.2
06:36.7
He signaled for help but Frollo ignored him.
06:36.8
06:41.2
Here's where Esmeralda came to give Quasimodo water.
06:41.3
06:44.1
He immediately fell in love with Esmeralda.
06:44.2
06:48.2
After 2 months, Captain Phoebus was relaxing at the Town Square
06:48.3
06:53.4
in front of Notre Dame while talking to the rich and pretty ladies.
06:53.5
06:57.1
Because he was busy talking with them, he didn't notice
06:57.2
07:00.1
that Esmeralda was dancing in the same place.
07:00.2
07:02.3
One of the ladies that Phoebus was talking to
07:02.4
07:06.4
noticed Esmeralda because she found her familiar.
07:06.5
07:11.0
The lady called Esmeralda to come near them
07:11.1
07:16.5
and because these ladies were superior, they bullied Esmeralda.
07:16.6
07:21.2
One lady peeked at Esmeralda's bag and saw a wood
07:21.3
07:24.3
with a carving of Captain Phoebus' name.
07:24.4
07:27.9
That lady immediately felt jealous because she also
07:28.0
07:31.6
has feelings for Captain Phoebus and she wants no rival.
07:31.7
07:36.4
Because of this, the lady went berserk and called Esmeralda a witch.
07:36.5
07:41.1
Esmeralda ran away because of the humiliation.
07:41.2
07:45.0
Captain Phoebus followed her and invited her to meet at night.
07:45.1
07:47.6
Esmeralda agreed.
07:47.7
07:51.1
Their conversation was witnessed by Claude Frollo
07:51.2
07:53.8
who was at the top of Notre Dame.
07:53.9
07:56.5
Frollo got jealous and envious of Phoebus
07:56.6
07:59.3
because he can approach and go near Esmeralda.
07:59.4
08:02.5
Later that night, Frollo followed Phoebus
08:02.6
08:05.6
and he secretly eavesdropped on his conversation with Esmeralda.
08:05.7
08:09.5
Frollo witnessed the confession of love between Esmeralda and Phoebus.
08:09.6
08:12.6
Frollo immediately came out of his disguise
08:12.7
08:15.4
and consecutively stabbed Captain Phoebus.
08:15.5
08:19.8
Meanwhile, Esmeralda fainted out of shock and fear.
08:19.9
08:23.3
When Esmeralda woke up, Captain Phoebus' men thought
08:23.4
08:25.5
that she was the one who stabbed him
08:25.6
08:28.0
so they immediately arrested her.
08:28.1
08:32.5
They brought Esmeralda to prison and tortured her.
08:32.6
08:37.1
They were forcing Esmeralda to confess to the crime she never did.
08:37.2
08:39.7
Unfortunately, she received a judgement
08:39.8
08:42.4
of death by hanging in front of Notre Dame.
08:42.5
08:44.7
On the day of Esmeralda's execution,
08:44.8
08:47.7
she saw Captain Phoebus looking at her.
08:47.8
08:50.8
She was shocked that the Captain had survived.
08:50.9
08:55.9
But because he can't clearly remember what happened and Frollo had a disguise,
08:56.0
08:59.5
Phoebus believed that Esmeralda stabbed him.
08:59.6
09:02.2
Phoebus just looked away and left.
09:02.3
09:07.4
Unexpectedly, Quasimodo saved Esmeralda from her execution.
09:07.5
09:12.0
Similar to the movie, Quasimodo was hanging on a thick rope
09:12.1
09:15.8
that is tied on the top of Notre Dame just to save and take Esmeralda.
09:15.9
09:21.2
They landed on the church where she was saved from the hands of the law.
09:21.3
09:23.2
But after several days,
09:23.3
09:29.5
the higher-ups decided to intrude the church and arrest Esmeralda.
09:29.6
09:33.1
The Gypsies knew about it so they formed a force
09:33.2
09:36.7
to also intrude the church to help Esmeralda.
09:36.8
09:40.2
But the problem is, Quasimodo was deaf.
09:40.3
09:44.5
He didn't understand that the Gypsies only wanted to help
09:44.6
09:48.0
so he thought that they were enemies too.
09:48.1
09:52.2
Quasimodo got busy fighting with the King's men and the Gypsies.
09:52.3
09:56.9
Meanwhile, Frollo walked to the secret passage of the church
09:57.0
09:59.1
where he found Esmeralda.
09:59.2
10:02.6
He told Esmeralda that he'll help her to escape.
10:02.7
10:04.6
Esmeralda immediately agreed to come
10:04.7
10:06.6
for she didn't know that Frollo was the one who tried
10:06.7
10:10.2
to kill Phoebus because he was in disguise before.
10:10.3
10:13.2
Here's where Frollo took advantage of the moment.
10:13.3
10:17.2
Frollo said that he can save Esmeralda from death
10:17.3
10:21.2
and he'll only do it if Esmeralda agrees to marry him.
10:21.3
10:24.7
Esmeralda didn't agree to it and she asked the priest
10:24.8
10:28.1
to just hang her to death instead of marrying him.
10:28.2
10:31.6
Because of Frollo's anger, he sent Esmeralda
10:31.7
10:35.7
to a place where a woman with extreme anger to Gypsies lives.
10:35.8
10:37.3
The woman was Gudule.
10:37.4
10:39.2
She was the woman I mentioned earlier
10:39.3
10:41.8
whom had her child taken by the Gypsies.
10:41.9
10:44.4
While Gudule tortures Esmeralda,
10:44.5
10:48.4
she narrates the evil things that the Gypsies did to her.
10:48.5
10:53.6
Gudule also took out one slipper which is the only memory left of her child.
10:53.7
10:58.0
Esmeralda was shocked and took out one slipper from her bag.
10:58.1
11:00.6
It was very similar to the one Gudule holds.
11:00.7
11:04.9
It only means that Gudule was Esmeralda's mother.
11:05.0
11:08.6
Because of this, Gudule doesn't one to surrender Esmeralda
11:08.7
11:11.1
and she hid her from the guards.
11:11.2
11:13.6
However, they still found Esmeralda.
11:13.7
11:18.1
The mother did everything she could just so they couldn't take Esmeralda.
11:18.2
11:21.6
But she got accidentally killed by a guard.
11:21.7
11:27.6
Meanwhile, Quasimodo was successful in his fight with the Gypsies and soldiers.
11:27.7
11:31.2
He immediately returned to the room where he left Esmeralda
11:31.3
11:33.7
but the lady was nowhere to be found.
11:33.8
11:35.7
He went to the top of Notre Dame.
11:35.8
11:40.8
He saw Frollo watching the hanged body of Esmeralda.
11:40.9
11:43.7
Quasimodo got extremely angry that
11:43.8
11:46.7
he strangled Frollo and threw him outside
11:46.8
11:49.0
resulting in the death of the priest.
11:49.1
11:51.9
Quasimodo stared at Esmeralda's dead body
11:52.0
11:56.1
and that was the last time that everyone saw Quasimodo.
11:57.0
12:01.0
After several years, Esmeralda's grave was dug out.
12:01.1
12:06.2
There they found the skeleton of a hunchback hugging another skeleton.
12:06.3
12:09.9
