The Tragic Truth Of Esmerelda’s HORRIFIC Backstory in Hunchback Of Notre Dame...

The Tragic Truth Of Esmerelda’s HORRIFIC Backstory in Hunchback Of Notre Dame...
She may have friend-zoned Quasimodo in the movie version of Hunchback of Notre Dame, but Disney’s version is a far cry from what really happened in Victor Hugo’s original novel  'Our Lady of Paris.' In fact, in the TRUE version of the story, Esmerelda actually has a HORRIFIC start to her narrative. And her ending? Even more gruesome. In fact, you probably don’t want to know how things really ended in Victor’s novel because you won't be able to eat for weeks. And Phoebus? Well, let’s just say he has some sneaky moments of his own that may make you stop believing in Prince Charming...
In today's video we look at The Tragic Truth Of Esmerelda’s HORRIFIC Backstory in Hunchback Of Notre Dame...Keep watching to see Esmeralda's FULL story and a complete explanation of Esmerelda's REAL backstory by Victor Hugo, specifically referencing the original book of Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Even after they "Disney-fied" the original story, it's still the darkest Disney animated movie and I remember reading that the Disney film barely kept it's G rating because of some of the themes in it. To this day it's still one of Disney's most underrated films.

Frollo was old enough to adopt Quasimodo when Esmerelda was an infant. Quasimodo is 4-5 years older than her as well. Phoebus is probably closer to Frollos age and Esmeralda is *16* It's all kinds of creepy. Also even after her death, she is picked up and held by Quasimodo despite rejecting him. Then her husband ran off with her goat.

[@westzed23]

It is a very dark and twisted novel. It became a bestseller of its day, and yes, inspired the preservation of Notre Dame. Maybe someday you will be able to read the actual novel "Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo. There are a few other characters that are understandably left out of the Disney movie. You may like the 1939 movie. It is darker than Disney's as it is not made for children, but is closer to the novel. It too leaves some of the darker elements out.

[@unknownstranger6875]

Yes it's tragic, but it is a very beautiful, dark novel. My favorite novel of all time. I first read it when I was 18 or 17 and I am still touched by it.

[@aarushiyadav7101]

You know, I came up with a theory. 'Notre-Dame' means 'Our Lady' in French. So 'Notre-Dame de Paris' means 'Our Lady of Paris', which ofc means the cathedral, but can it also stand for Esmeralda, the lady who every man in Paris wants? In Hugo's book the cathedral is described as something pure, divine and beautiful, but disrespected by the city. Most characters in the book are... depraved. But who's described as pure and beautiful? Esmeralda, who's disrespected by the city. Who's responsible for the church's mistreatment? The clergy and the government. Who mistreats Esmeralda? The government and archdeacon Frollo. There's more. The book says that Notre-Dame has kept gothic architecture alive, and with the cathedral withering away gothic architecture is also dying. Now people, who do we think of when we think gothic? Gargoyles. Gargoyles are big and scary-looking. Who else is big and scary looking? Quasimodo, who dies with Esmeralda. The story is not something separate from the 'save Notre-Dame' theme, it is an allegory for it.

[@johnalexander6858]

I prefer the original. I have read it, and Esmeralda there is a touching character.

[@Zivanovaable]

In the Disney is also touching, especially when she defended Quasy from the crowd and also her song. She is a deep character in the cartoon too, i would say even deeper than in the original (in the original was more an average teen with a crush, added some compassionate acts and fierceness) with her social consciousness.

[@Lilas.Duveteux]

@@Zivanovaable I do think she's touching in the Disney version, but in a different way. The Disney version is someone you look up to. Original is someone you want to hug and protect. However, I think the original Esmeralda has this vulnerability that makes her very endearing. She's so vulnerable and precious that her author decided in his self-adaptation to give her a happy ending. Novel Esmeralda, because she has other relations that aren't romantic and are more platonic (the Duke of Egypt and Gudule), hopes and dreams, you do care about her more as a character.

Also it’s more realistic that a teen in the medieval era would’ve been like that compared to the film. Her death is very sad and really drives the anti-clerical/anti-monarchical message Hugo goes for. But I liked how Quasimodo stays by her till the end.

If you're talking about in the movie, I'm sure she found Quasimodo abandoned or something like that. You can tell she had a caring heart to protect in just the brief few moments you see her. I suspect Disney intentionally made her and Esmeralda dress how each did to show they both have a caring heart to look after the outcast without giving his mother a whole lot of back story into her character and how she found him. Sometimes we don't need a back story because we can piece it together with the information we are given and then other times a back story is needed to fully understand someone's motives.

Reminder that Victor Hugo never intended this story to be a fairytale. It is a very grounded and realistic fairytale parody. It was more of an excuse for him to write something taking place in the notre dame cathedral and describe its architectural treasury, something he admired a lot. Disney really did him bad, ignoring the point of the novella and making it into a stereotypical fairy tale. I am kinda glad he wasn't alive to see that movie.

What If Esmeralda Was Still Alive YES She May Have Survived Due To A False Issue And God Punished Frollo And Rewarded Quasimodo And Esmeralda By Being Reincarnated So They Can Be Together

[@Hailey_Robinson33]

The story is worse than the Disney… but at least they aren’t dead… what I mean by bad is the death and other things the story is nice but literally meaning bad as in you know… actually I give up explaining what I mean lol And I’ll still be able to eat lol

[@Zivanovaable]

I think the same. I hate the books ending. I prefer the Disney movies ending.

The person was speaking way too fast in this video.

[@mousemd]

I don't like the way they changed the movie story. I well know the real story. Just leave my stories alone already!

[@christophermorehou4473]

To me disney version is the real one to me.

[@Zivanovaable]

I also prefer the Disney. They upgraded Esmeraldas character a lot, and the ending is better.

[@JP-ks7ey]

most dinsey stories come from very tragic stories

[@veroniquelebeau2692]

But it's not the same story. They didn't change a few details, they changed the whole mind of it. They made it more accessible to a lot of people who might be discouraged by a big book, but at what price?

[@Zivanovaable]

@@veroniquelebeau2692 Not the same story, because of that they changed the title itself From Notre Dame de Paris to Hunchback of the Notre Dame. Here Quasimodo is the main character, in the book is Esmeralda (strictly after the cathedral itself). But it isn't damaged the book, they changed the story but kept close to the writers style. You can watch the Goodtimes animated movie, its pretty closer to the book. 😉

Jesus, how much of this video is "You're not gonna believe it", "You'll find out something bad about them", "Something's coming that's a big reveal!" Take away the plot bait and it'd be 2 minutes long...

[@kokuffuor9056]

Why do people not question changing fairy tales? Why do that - they could simply write a happier story...

[@WaggaDaBagga]

I remember seeing this film on DVD VIDEO disc (in BD Player). I liked Disney's version. Esmeralda as an Afro-American in Paris, and I remember she was one of the artists in the Circus, she drummed and danced and showed off her goat arts. She was dressed as a Gypsy fortune teller.

[@matejmartini9165]

She was Gypsy (Rom) not Afro-American(why would she be Afro-American in 14-15th century France? Wouldnt she be just black?). Dont you dare americanize everything :D

[@RAN20097]

I probably would marry Follo he haves a high IQ in the book and was really kind and nice at first.

[@user-un4tl8zt4j]

You might say that from the point of looking at the Disney version (which I am gonna say they definitely made hotter than the original would've been in terms of design alone) and also from an outsider point of view, surely. But one has to remember that Esmeralda was 16+ or so while Frollo was not only significantly more powerful but also older, anywhere between his 40's to his 60's (depending on the version). I don't think she even had time to consider whatever good qualities he had, because this was more so a choice between keeping her life at the cost of becoming Frollo's property (so no more freedom, no more dancing, none of that, she would have to be a "good Christian wife") or keeping her individuality and dying for it. Then there's also the whole teen-type crush she had on Phoebus that has to be taken into account. She literally wouldn't see past him and to everyone else.

[@RAN20097]

@@user-un4tl8zt4j He was only 36 in the book and at that age I know what I was looking for in a man but if you were talking about her being raised by Gypsy then yes it would not be a good thing for her but she also need to know if she went with Phephus then she would be forced to live the same way as his mistress. A good Christian girl.

[@RAN20097]

@@user-un4tl8zt4j I guess when I was a teenager I thought diffent from her but even as a teen Ill think 36 was too old but if I was there at that time period I would have been all over him I always had a thing with guys with high IQ. My type as a women of color is high IQ with pale skin and nice.

[@aarushiyadav7101]

I mean the first time he talked to her was when he had her on the death row so I don’t think she would’ve thought him as nice. 😅 Also he was a priest so he probably wouldn’t marry.

[@RAN20097]

@@aarushiyadav7101 Yeah he should have talk to her sooner then did what he done I wonder if he even could get married.

[@bryanmiller8604]

This sounds like the most realistic love story to me. Proof that love, like any other emotion, is not so end all,all empowered divinity. Despite the fact society, likes to immortalize such a lie to use as shame, blame, & manipulation of the individual for sacrifice, & enslavement as something to be a noble cause.
