Notre Dame de Paris artistically reproduces the historical truth of how the court and the church colluded to oppress the people and how the people fought bravely with the two forces during the rule of King Louis Xi of France more than 400 years ago. In the novel, the rebellious gypsy girl Esmeralda and the ugly disabled quasimodo are presented to the readers as the embodiment of true beauty, while what people see in the vice bishop Floru and the noble soldier Phobos is cruel, empty mind and sinful lust. The author organically links touching stories with vivid and rich drama scenes, which makes this novel extremely readable. The novel is full of romanticism and uses comparative writing techniques. This is an artistic model using the principle of romantic contrast. The publication of this novel made Hugo's reputation even louder.
65438+10.6 is April Fool's Day in the western language tradition. 1482 On this day, the whole city of Paris was immersed in a happy atmosphere, and people flocked to the old city from all directions. There are a lot of people gathered on the road to the judicial palace. There is a "king of fools" election here. The election rule is that whoever looks the ugliest and laughs the ugliest is expected to be elected.
When everyone took out the lucky king of fools, surprise and appreciation reached the highest point. I saw that he had a tetrahedral nose, a horseshoe-shaped mouth, one-eyed, hunchbacked and lame. His body is about the same height and width, and his lower body is square. His legs look like two sickles from the front, and the handles are connected together. In his deformity, there is an unquestionable firm, serious and brave attitude. He is quasimodo, the bell ringer of Notre Dame. People put a crown on him, put on a cassock made of cardboard, and carried him to Gulliver Square in a sedan chair with pictures.
In Greive Square, Esmeralda, a gypsy girl who makes a living as an entertainer, attracted many onlookers with her wonderful performance of Gary the Lamb, winning applause and cheers from time to time. Esmeralda danced on the Persian carpet laid casually at her feet. She was light, elegant and happy, and all the onlookers stared at her with their mouths wide open, fascinated by the magnificent scenery in front of them. In the dense crowd, there is an inconspicuous but unusual middle-aged man. His greedy eyes stared straight at Esmeralda, but his mouth was casting a cold spell that almost no one could hear. That look is really scary. This man is Cogged Floru, Vice Bishop of Notre Dame.
Floru has always been abstinent, avoiding all worldly pleasures. But when I saw Esmeralda dancing tonight, I was immediately fascinated by her incomparable beauty. Lust lurking in his body suddenly woke up like a beast that had been sleeping for many years, completely losing self-control. Although he knows that if he doesn't restrain himself, he will fall into an extremely terrible abyss, but his desire seems irresistible. He clearly saw that he had two choices: to possess her at all costs, or to kill her for the peace of soul. At this point, the first option has the upper hand.
In the Dutch tower in the corner of the square, Judith, a monk, is calling Esmeralda away in a pious and hateful voice, because her daughter was taken away by gypsies 15 years ago. Esmeralda was deeply shocked and disturbed by the curses of the archdeacon and the friar.
When the members of Friends of Fools carried quasimodo to the square, the square suddenly became a new hot spot. Fools stopped the crowds from trying to protect their king of fools, but when the victorious quasimodo saw flo· Lu, he was as meek as a lamb. It turns out that quasimodo, a deformed child, was abandoned in front of Notre Dame de Paris 16 years ago. The vice bishop adopted him out of sympathy and named him quasimodo. Quasimodo was ashamed and sensible, grateful to Lord Floru, and obedient.
In the evening, the climax of the April Fool's Day Gala has passed, and people gradually dispersed. Esmeralda left the festival square with her beloved little goat and went to the alley next to the square. Quasimodo, instructed by Floru, intends to hijack Esmeralda. Esmeralda struggled and shouted for help. Just then, the king's bodyguard, the captain of the bow and arrow team, led the soldiers to pass by nearby, arrived at the news, rescued Esmeralda and captured quasimodo. Esmeralda was moved by Forbes' handsome appearance and kindness to save her. After asking the young officer's name, he quickly ran back to the "miracle dynasty", where vagrants and beggars gathered.
"Miracle Dynasty" is a very large square, inhabited by the lower classes, including French, Spanish, Italian and German. They have different religious beliefs. They are beggars by day and thieves by night. This is a fantastic world, a poetic kingdom of hell. Esmeralda has a lot of magic here. When she came back, beggars and beggars lined up gently, and their fierce faces lit up at the sight of her. At this time, Clopin, the beggar king of this dynasty, was interrogating the poor poet Gan Guo Wa who had strayed here by mistake. According to the "Dynasty" law, Gan Guo Wa will be hanged unless someone is willing to marry him. A minute passed, and Gan Guo's life was in danger. The kind and beautiful Esmeralda unexpectedly stood up and announced that she was willing to marry this man, thus saving Gan Guo from death.
The next day, a makeshift scaffold was set up in Gulliver Square. Quasimodo, the king of fools yesterday, was flogged on his knees today. Floro passed by here and witnessed this scene. Of course, he knew why quasimodo had fallen to this point, but in order to preserve his identity, he was indifferent and let it go. Kasimo was delighted to see Floru in the crowd, but his adoptive father escaped his eyes in a hurry. More than an hour passed, and quasimodo was thirsty. He shouted angrily, "Give me water to drink!" Onlookers are not only ignored, but also ridiculed and cursed.
