The Symbolism of Notre Dame Cathedral and Esmeralda’s Tragic Fate in Literature and Film

The Russian text has been embellished.

“Notre Dame Cathedral” is a novel regarding the sad fate of the gypsy beauty Esmeralda. It has been filmed several times and musicals have been staged in different countries.

The main symbol of Notre-Dame de Paris is the song Belle. Russian fans know it in the translation by Susanna Tsiryuk. The poignant poems regarding love and desire seem very romantic.

But the original does not make such an impression. He is no longer focused on the girl, but on what men want from her. And, despite their different status, they dream of only one thing.

Claude Frollo desires to “close the door to Esmeralda’s garden.” Phoebe de Chateaupert plans to “pick the flower of love.” Intricate euphemisms cannot hide the essence: both admirers want to share a bed with a woman, and the rest does not interest them.

Quasimodo is perhaps the most respectable among the beauty’s many admirers. The limit of his dreams is to touch his beloved’s hair.
