Thanks for watching, SoloFam! Sorry again about the delay :( Hope you enjoyed this episode. This was definitely one of the darker, straight up weirder stories we've ever covered and I tried to do it justice! Don't forget to SMASH that like button btw ;)
Jon Solo is it just me or is it pronounced (note-er Dame) as in the University in Indiana
Thank You ☺
Jon Solo Hercules is the darkest mythogy.
Jon Solo I only found this channel yesterday and it is great keep up the good work 👍
Awesome video jon , i would love to see some more of your ask me anything videos i havent seen them lately and i would deffinetly watch them if you post them .
Fun fact: in the original nove, it's not Quasimodo's deformities that make the Parisians ostracize him, but his _red hair_ of all things, as per the attitudes of actual medieval Parisians.
I want to like your comment but you're at 69 (nice) limes right now and I don't want to mess it up.
red hair where weird..
@@squishy8758Can you like it now?
@@redskull378I liked it & your comment too
@@NinJestre Thank you 😊
Frollo is NOT in love with Esmeralda he's in LUST with her.
Totally agreed
A quote from one of my favorite book series “The name of the Wind” is perfect for this. “You need to learn the difference between love, and a penis.”
@@angrysquirrel8816 🤣🤣🤣
One and the same.
the StuffPerson, I- 😳
In the musical Esmeralda dies and Quasimodo lays next to her dead body untill he dies. :(
In the book too
W-what?
@i will steal your kneecaps
Can we be friends? Also, I love you isername
spoilersss 😭
Stupid shit. 🤣
The hunchback of Notre Dame is like one of the most underrated disney movies I stg
Yeah I love the hunchback of Norte dame
Agree
i think its because of parents you know “WHAT DISNEY DID THIS OMG IM NOT LETTING MY KIDS SEE THIS IM TOTALLY DOING SOMETHING AND EVERYONE CARES”
What about the prince of egypt. It was pretty good
@@familledb651 Prince of Egypt was not Disney. Not EVERY animated movie was a Disney.
“I’m thankful I’ve never been rejected like that” weird flex but okay
For me its not that sad ( no offence)
😂
After he announced that he's getting Spinal surgery, I think he has had back problem for along time.
400th like
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂
"There is everything I've ever loved". Heavy AF.
I thought that when he said that the hunchbacks body was around the gypsies skeleton was heavy and breathtaking
You know that with recent events, this movie has reached a whole new ironic level.
Stannis The Mannis “Chose me or the flame” amirite?
it killed me when i read that sentence :(
That sentence in the novel made me want to cry. Quasimodo is so kind and I do not want him dead in the end of the novel. I certainly wish and I wish I still wish that he would’ve just continued his duty in the cathedral as the bell ringer rather than dying.
"Every attempt to improve or repair the Notre Dame only made it worse" this hits home right now.
I feel bad for Notre Dame :(
Its a building. You eat flesh every day. Get a grip.
@Maria Luisa nope.
Kitten Se Dévoile human flesh or?
@@maddikemp9164 some probably eat human flesh!
"He even goes on a tangent about the architecture of Notre Dame and how any attempts to improve or repair the building have only made it worse..."
*Fire starts at Notre Dame due to maintenance*
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
believe it or not, I actually thought of this quote when I first saw Notre Dame burn!
Kirbyfire73 he did done it
It was caused by bad electrical that was last updated in the 1500's.
And I oop🤭 he jinxed it lmao
YES!! but it was falling apart but indeed trying to restore it they destroyed part of it....its most famous part
The real story is absolutely crazy
Tell meh
Tell meh
Exactly
I agree, but it's a Masterpiece and has rightfully won its place in the Eternal Canon of World Literature, there's not a man or woman in the whole western world that doesn't know of this story, I absolutely love the novel and have read it several times
We had these abridged versions of the hunchback of Notre dame and I loved reading them when I was younger along with , the Martian, the invisible man, and Robin hood they were all surprisingly dark (i was especially surprised by the death of Robin hood)
I'm watching this coz the notre Dame is burning rn
Paddy G He done it now
Lol
Paddy G oof
Lol
Paddy G ye
If you think he loved architecture then you will appreciate his absolute passion for the sewer system in Paris in Les Miserables
He loved the sewer system so much, he killed 5 characters in 1 sentence to get to the sewers quicker.
@@mabelchescas.z8999 lmao its true
yessss
Victor Hugo loves going on long tangents about things that have nothing to do with the characters or events of the story he is very annoying sometimes because of that style of his writing. That style where he just goes on a tangent about buildings instead of characters in the story. That’s the thing that annoys me about his writing. I always skip those parts in the book.
@@theenergetichopecat7006 fair lol
After this I wouldn’t be surprised if Disney makes “IT” a Disney movie. Lol 😂
Micheal fucking Myers so factsssss
NO I would die! Because if they didn’t have Finn Wolfhard I WOULD DIE
Shh... Disney might hear you.
I dont get it
@@karmakuengarabgay6709 That's funny as h@ll!
Oh, and if you are not joking and seriously don't get it, allow me to Jon Solo a bit... if that's possible.
"It" is a really horrible (deliciously so) horror story written by Stephen King. The tone of the novel had to be toned down for both the TV mini-series and the movies. It's horror worthy of the notice that Disney and other re-tellers hear and make into children's stories.
A Disney version of "IT" might be re-told by Disney to be a mere childhood exploration story of erased memories with Pennywise being a misunderstood being one who feeds on fear but not because of evil but because it needs to.
The story would be similar in structure and tone but it would twist to being a "hero's story" plot. The kids (some deaths, not always a guarantee, and often the dead come back) will suffer.
If it becomes an animated film, it would be closer to the material but still manage a level of happy ending that kids will like.
If it becomes a live-action film after an animated one, it will be a CGI virtual remake.
If it becomes a real movie at first, it will be Pirates of the Caribbean akin "brutal" and just be really clever about what it is covering up, only outing things that kids are openly allowed to accept. They would go full Disney on it and do IT like they did their other projects.
So, in short (too late for "in short", I know). Disney would make IT a child-friendly friendship movie with a horror backdrop.
HEY! Jon Solo! Back me up here!
That ending is wow
daarrrkkk
Disney: And the horrible ending is... HE DOESN'T END UP WITH THE WOMAN HE LOVED! 😭
Victor Hugo: and then he dug into her grave and embraced her body and buried himself alive and starved to death nbd
DavidtheWavid ikr I was like WOOOTT
DavidtheWavid
Actually disney made sequal where he finds another girl that he loves and she loves him back ,it was a good one cause I hate bad ending I am glad some one in diseny was kind enogh to give him a good ending
mo hanafy I know I've watched that one :p
I mean, the book was written by the same guy who wrote Les Mis... old Vicky just loves to kill his characters
He also loves to do the George Lucas and have all the characters' lives cross and recross one another. AND he actually went and injected his-actual-self into a scene in Les Mis, at which point in actual-time he was doing research for Hunchback.
George R R Martin. Ever heard of him?
Good ol' Vicky also loves to go unnecessarily deep into details and describing the entirety of Paris during the middle ages. Also he doesn't miss a chance to rant about how much modern architecture sucks.
Annnd in Hernani lol
That’s amazing because I was just thinking of Les Miserables after watching this movie...
RUN QUASIMODO RUN! THERES A FIRE!
SH*T HE HAS AIRPODS IN HE CANT HEAR US!!
Please stop. It’s not funny anymore.
@@dead9247 yes it is
Dakota Blue -_- *Holds a knife to look scary*

Frollo wasn’t “in love”...he was 100% *obsessed* with her. *BIG* difference. 🤦🏻♀️
Miranda Miller Yeah, we got it the first time we read this comment - the one by the person who actually thought of it months before you.
He was in LUST. That's all.
Frollo was all about wanting to possess her as his sexual object and rape her
That's called LUST
Fire serpant damn what’s up your ass?
NO... your honor.... that is a gross misinterpretation and slanderous. I beg your reconsider. It was not an abduction, it was just a trip which required WAY more convincing along the way... by force....
As a kid i was confused why frollo smelled esmeralda and why he freaked out about her good looks. I just thought he didnt want to believe that a gipsy could be pretty. How wrong i was...
thats so cute and inncoent
The original story’s ending where Quasimodo says “There is everything I have ever loved” after killing Frollo hits me really hard for some reason 😢🥺
Absolutely agree!
Praying for Notre Dame. What he says at 3:48 has now come true.
Grace Poremski yes I read that they removed the gargoyles from the roof to restore the roof then days later the fire I also read that gargoyles protect from evil so the gargoyles protected the building for 800 years crazy to think this my prayer go out
I was just thinking the same thing. owo Its kinda creepy.
@@timp8857 lol
Tom P the gargoyles were there while it burned
Funny, few weeks ago I saw one of PJW's videos regarding this and how modern achitecture is destroying these century old structures and being replaced with shitty looking ones lol.
Notre dam burn's down today April 16 2019 ... Sad : (
JIM DEZ
Literally a year and a bit after this video came out
JIM DEZ yea i kinda told the future
wondering if this guy still thinks we have enough of gothic architecture
Lit
the stone was okay, the sub-roof was burnt
“So he does what any man would do. Sends his adopted servant to kidnap her” I’m dead that’s hilarious
So I watched the movie for the first time recently. Loved it. Watched the musical. Jaw dropping. Reading the book now. Mind blown. I’m in awe of how underrated this masterpiece of a story the Hunchback of Notre Dame really is. It ripped my heart to pieces in the most beautiful way, which is the best writing. Thank you Victor Hugo for giving us the world of Notre Dame.
They did cut some of the elements from the book i think due to the element of time. The Feast of Fools was common in the Middle Ages, with the Boy bishop etc. it finally disappeared over time. A lot of information about the middle ages can be found on line. Such as sanctuary,etc. Yeah, unless you were rich, life in the Middle Ages definetly sucked.
The book is Beautiful! Can't say that about the movie in the least bit after one has read the classic.
which musical? the Disney one or the French one?
There is a movie from the 20s and another better one from the 30s, both movies have notable actors in them. I suggest watching those after reading the book
Hunchback of Notre Dame story = love triangle on steroids
Some of the love triangles be ending up like that lmaooo in real life
Well, isn’t a love SQUARE if there’s 4 people involved?
No. 5 people.
A love pentagon
the book version of Quasimodo is truly frightening,
But it's so much better then the dumb kid version that Disney made as a cartoon
Stavo Joel it’s better than the dumb cartoon face ur mom made for u
A A disney have no qualms shitting on ugly men. It's palatable for its audience.
@I HATE YOU- they do, but you gotta remember there’s somebody for everybody. I’m not even lying when it comes to this there are people who literally Simp over Hitler.
Disney always ruining stories
Why did you skip the fact that Esmerelda has a husband? Like her husband, Gringiore, is my favorite character and i think its important to mention the fact that they took the character out of the movie and acts like esmerelda is a single pringle. Also, esmerelda is 15 and her husband is 25.
Yeah
But he was also a jerk
He preferred Esmeralda's goat and left Esmeralda to die even though she saved him from death by marrying him
Single Pringle... Stealing that.
Bro... He left her to die for the goat 😂🐐😂
Interesting that in the man who laughs Victor hugo merged Gringoire with jean valjean, Ursus takes care of two orphans and has a great friend Wolf of named Homo.
@@ladyofnoxus6733 Well, as I read it the goat showed more sympathy to him as she did in their so-called marriage life ... ^^
It is a wonder a Disney version of Hunchback of Notre Dame even exsists, given how dark and disturbing the original story got. But I am not complaining since it has one of, if not the best Disney villian song: Hellfire.
I recall many people at the time questioning that choice for a Disney animated film. Disney's answer was that it was just another version of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
Disney has made a lot of dark stories into movies. If you look up information on Gaston, dude was originally supposed to either stab the Beast and commit suicide, or be killed like Scar in the Lion King.
Have you noticed that almost every story comes from a deep dark origin. I wonder why?
(Have any of you seen Disney's The Fox and the Hound? That movie is pretty freakin' dark but it's a saint compared to the book.)
Yeah I'm actually surprised too. But even at that I still say some of the Disney writing is week. There are a lot of parts that you ask why? Like I told John. The whiping is 1 of the biggest for me. Even when little and I first heard the movie. It's too randum out of no ware and you just have the captin walking in on it. With no explanation of why Quasi Modo's being whipped fore, Who's the strange almost Japanese sounding dude hurting him, why if Frolo's such an expert does he not do it himself? Stuff like that. Also the place is the palase of Justice. So what did Frolo tell the dude? Quasi Modo would've have to be found guilty for the palase of Justice people to care would he not? Meh maybe even as a little 7 or 8 year old I was too nurdy and technical for Disney. Who knows.
3:48
Yes it has made it worse because it caught on fire while they were renovating it
Touché
*Oh well*
@@OnkelFenrir The OG Hunchback of Notre Dam is Overlord
Frollo: Marry me
Esmeralda: kill me now!
I always heard that mr. Hugo's book was partly fictional after they discovered the body of a Jispy woman who had been hung being hugged by a, also dead, man with a crooked back. Then he made the story off of that
Patrick S. U mean partly non-fiction
My English teacher says pictures are hung, people are hanged
Creativity
It's gypsy
@@corettaha7855 people can be hung... If you know what I mean ;)
I'm guessing you read the wiki and not the book? Good summary regardless. Let me add that Esmeralda was only 16 years old or so, Phoebes was in the process of stripping her naked and couldn't even remember her name when he was stabbed by Frollo, making Phoebes a very dark character as well; I can't believe he married her in the movie. Also Frollo had a brilliant mind. I think the theology of the Church was not enough for him and that is why he turned to alchamy and dark magic, not because of Esmeralda. Give me Les Mis any day over this depressing book!
Yea at that time 16 year olds were looked as adults
@@hqubahauba2716 Indeed, but just barely an adult, even by the standards of that time.
@@chrisfarley6662 true, from todays viewpoint the brief relationship they have seems pretty problematic, im not sure if hugo intended it to be seen that way though. I haven't read les mis book yet, i was kinda drawn away from victor hugo's work after reading this book, it was too dark for me.
If you do Les Mis, I recommend the audiobook. The story is difficult to read, I tried once, but it is a very good listen. I agree if I had read Hunchback first I would not have read any of his other books.
I don't think i will start with it anytime soon, but thanks for advice!
I find old books so interesting they're so scary, mysterious and, they give you nightmares at night, Which is why I hate them, Yet they are still very interesting.
Indeed.
I'm currently reading it😻
but why is his skin clearer than my future???
Omg lol🤣
Bruh
Two words: Tiege Hanley
The gargoyles Victor and Hugo appear to be named after author Victor Hugo who wrote the novel, he also wrote Les Miserables.
Look down, look down, don't look him in the eye
I love the manga of les miserables
What did they call the third one?
Laverne was the third gargoyle
Only thing I disagree with is the fact that Frolo wasn’t “in Love,” with Esmeralda. He Lusted, after her.. I’m splitting hairs, but yeah... GREAT VID. You got a subscriber off this.
Alluponit31 yeah
And there was a part in the book where we learn more about Frollo
He became old and bitter
He hated women and started to avoid them
He forbids the gypsies to preform in front of Notre Dame especially gypsy women with goats (but they do it anyway)
While he's really anti-feminist, he goes lusting after Esmeralda and wanted to do everything he can to rape her or kill her
And yeah, Frollo is truly not in "love" with her, he's in lust
Such a scary and monstrous villain in the story
Most old stories use "love" as code for lust and "marriage" as code for sex.
@@PrivateSlacker bruh I've been going through the comments and you keep commenting the same thing lol.
Agreed, I've been looking for comments like this. Frolo lusted over her, wanted her kidnapped, desired to rape her or otherwise force her to have sex with him. He was absolutely NOT in love with Esmeralda. It upsets me to hear this called love
dizzzylizard Me too
Every time when I hear people saying "Frollo was in love with Esmeralda", I kept saying "No! Frollo is not in love with Esmeralda; he's in
LUST!"
It's really upsetting indeed
The fact that he didn’t leave her side even after when she was dead is incredibly sad. That was the one important thing to him and he was found laying with her :(
@03:50 " How any attempt to improve or repair the building only makes it worse". It is ironic that today Notre Dame is burning down because of fire most likely started by renovation work that was taking place.
Manchir Tserendagva pray for Notre dame
Pinocchio is a pretty dark story 🤥
Bambi too. Read the book when I was 9. Nothing was ever the same.
Most Disney films are dark stories
I believe the point of it is about corrupt social norms and political stuff. I know Monstro is a shark.
Dr.Mad You are so right!
PAPA!!!!!!
So basically, it's an ancient story about how someone adopts a deformed baby, only to become a bad parent to him, then the dad, the deformed guy, and some other guy all fall in love with the same woman, who was kidnapped, and the woman dies after finding her real mother. The deformed guy then either kills himself to be with her, or sleeps with her dead body for the rest of his life, which is how his skeleton was found around hers. That's depressing...
Since she's 16 I wouldn't exactly call her a woman
Different time periods, nowadays 16 wouldn't be a woman but back then it would be.
16 was considerd adult and you were old enough to marry, also there where many girls who married around their 14/15
Well I’m the backwoods of Tennessee and Alabama........
Hilde Withethorn more or less when their period started (aka babies makers)
since my childhood,
everytime i see this movie, Frollo always creeped me out. he looks pretty scary. his always angry glare, and his super small button eyes, holy crap they still give me chills to this day 😶
I was in Paris about a month ago and I happened to see the Notre Dame the day it caught on fire. After I came home I had the sudden urge to watch the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
I went to Paris in 2019, I saw the notre dame on the outside but not the inside since i think during that time when it was burned down or at least some of it
I don't even want to know what would have happen if Disney made the phantom of the opera.
SR Striker oh my gosh ikr
DaniElisaFarras and what does ikr mean?
it means "I know right "
is phantom of the opera darker than hunchback of notredame?
It would be cool
Great review but you got one thing wrong; Frollo wasn't in love with Esmeralda he was obsessed with Esmeralda. Not the same thing.
armydrake01 Yeah
He's all about wanting to have her as his sex object and rape her
armydrake01 im esmeralda yike i am in my dad acc not the princess
STFU captain obvious
@@bellamovie2 No..not quite..Frollo was,in the beginning, was a good person,he was a very religious cleric,with a big heart(he saved a 4 year old Quasimodo from a certain death) Baptized and adopted him,taught him to read and write,and gave him a Trade(Bell Ringer) Where it went wrong was he was human,but also a man(with sexual feelings)and was unable to cope with his celibate vows and feelings of lust and rejection..I think Phobeus was the Real Monster..
armydrake01
Book, movie same ol
Who is here after it burnt down :(
The people reading this comment, bruh
me :(
yEtUsDeLeTuS PaPr ur mom
Meh they'll rebuild it no one died
Me! I was about to say it doesn't matter what Victor thinks about renovations because they are going to have to when or now that the building has burned down.
I was actually in a musical for Hunchback of Notre Dam and it took elements from both stories, in this one the story actually begins with the question “what makes a monster and what makes a man.” And in this story Frolo and his brother r raised by Notre Dam but, unlike himself, Frolo’s brother is not as faithful to the practice and eventually is banished from Notre Dam and runs off with the Gypsies, he has a son and when he is dying and the mother of the child is already dead he decides its best to give him to Frolo as the child has no one else. Frolo sees the child, calls him a monster and tells his brother how “the wicked shall not go unpunished” and that’s why the child is like this. From there the story is pretty similar to the Disney version with only some minor changes and a tavern scene, and in the end Esmerelda is saved by Quasimodo only to still die. The Gypsies father with the help of Phoebus to protect Notre Dam but eventually the guards get in but she is already dead. Frolo comes and tells him this was for the best but in a rage Quasimodo pushes him off the roof, using his own words “the wicked shall not go unpunished” before Phoebus comes to find her dead and dies as well from the wound in his shoulder. And years later they find Esmeralda’s skeleton, with Quasimodo’s holding her.
It’s really sad throughout, especially when there r songs such as the one where the Gypsies r forced to flee their home, and Phoebus offers to go with them to stay with Esmeralda and while they sing of their love Quasimodo sings about how he will never be loved before everyone, including the Gypsies, comes together singing about how they must find another Court of Miracles or home.
this is one of my favorite musicals of all time I love it but the ending upsets me a lot. The ending is too much for my heart. I wish that Quasimodo would’ve lived and became priest of Notre Dame cathedral in the church instead of dying.
@@theenergetichopecat7006 is this musical available to watch on UA-cam? What's it's name?
OMG YESS!! I've been waiting for another messed up origin

Kawaii Potato glad to hear

wait till the next one again
Sklier Smlieface I can’t either but Jon takes his time so it’s good quality
Kawaii Potato true dat
Thank you for not even mentioning the necrophiliac implications of the book's ending. I don't personally subscribe to that theory; I like to think that Quasimodo simply held her et cetera
What!?!
Nah, I’d smash that dead body if I was that ugly.
Most old stories use "love" as code for lust and "marriage" as code for sex.
@@PrivateSlacker Ummmm... yes and no it depends.
Exactly that freaked me out. I’m glad he didn’t say it, but then you just said it and now I’m freaked out again. Back to Disney shows... idk why I keep torturing myself
In the movie, Frollo named Quasimodo because it meant “harsh figure” but in novel, Frollo named Quasimodo after the name of the day he adopted by Frollo. Which was Low Sunday or Quasimodo Sunday
*fire starts*

One of the greatest and most underrated Disney animated movies purely because of the soundtrack and score. The music from this film is second to none. Better than Lion King, better than Beauty and the Beast, better than all of them.
Then you should like the musical's soundtrack too. It's gorgeous. I listen to it everyday for inspiration.
I can't agree that it's better than the scores of all the films you mentioned (mostly because I think they're all in the same sphere of greatness), it's definitely the main reason I love the movie
I completely agree. Glad to see another fan! So rare.

One of the most disturbing, inhuman monstrous villains in book history
@@bellamovie2 inhumane, monstrous villain yes but disturbing? I-
Something I like about this movie is it showing how two different men react to unrequited love... one wanting to destroy her and one risking his own life to save her.
too bad the woman wanted to be with neither
so I'm guessing the book didn't have any talking gargoyles
Redbandit ROFL!!! Good one!!
No but Quasimodo did speak to them sometimes. But he also wasnt really right in the head from being so isolated all the time.
he gave the bells names tho
Lol
+Nina J R. Yeah he was very lonely :(
in the book, Pheobus (idk if I spelled it right) even brings his new mistress to Esmeralda's execution!
G. Roscoe You did :)
I'm surprised this video didn't highlight what a dick Pheobus was. Frollo is actually good before he loses his head over the gypsy, whereas Pheobus is a real player and surprisingly weak against his pushy teenage fiancée (who may well have pushed for Esmeralda's death in the first place). Not to mention he seduces Esmeralda in a brothel of all places.

Why was the book great? Unlike with other classics such as Les Miserables or Great Gatsby the original book doesn’t seem to bring up a lot of discussion on timeless themes or unique elements. The movie does that but the book not so much.
@@luisabravo1438 Notre Dame de Paris is a masterpiece along with Les Miserables, Toilers of the Sea and the Man Who Laughs.
Several Les Miserables themes came from Notre Dame de Paris,
The disney movie is just a fanficiton of happy ending.
Victor Hugo unlike Disney was not a stupid naive and the protagonist of The Man Who Laughs faced for his deformity, social rejection.
"He went throughout the supreme vision in which his mind had been plunged. He examined successively destiny, situation, society, and himself. What was destiny? A snare. Situation? Despair. Society? Hatred. And himself? A defeated man. In the depths of his soul he cried. Society is the stepmother, Nature is the mother." - the man who laughs by Victor hugo
Josiane disney writes a good story about overcoming trials and standing up to corruption for something that has to be fit for kids. But I’m sure hipsters on the internet who talk shit but never facts to support it know way more than one of the most successful companies in the modern world.
It’s a Victor Hugo book. What did you expect?
He excepted a mess up story. Hence this video being made lol
Even a hunchback that resembles quasimodo appears in courage the cowardly dog
YASSS
One of the best episodes
The biggest frustration I had with the movie is the fact that Claude frollo is 32 in the book
‘So if that’s how Disney decided to tell the story, imagine how dark the original was...’
Me: 😳😅
Victor Hugo's descriptions of the architecture is not uncommon for his writing style. He assumes you know NOTHING of the setting. While he's not one of my favorite authors, but I have to give him credit for that.
You also completely skipped Esmerelda's "husband," Pierre Gringoire, whom she saves from hanging and a who attempts to save her…actually Djali.

“Unnecessary long passages.” That sums up Victor Hugo very well.
“So he does what any man would do when he falls in love. Orders his adopted servant to kidnap her”
😂😂😂 I choked
also in the book Esmerelda is 16 years old
yeah...
In 1482, a 16 year old was considered an adult
(And Frollo was 36)
hot cheetos Cosette in Les Misérables was also 16. And she got married...
Yeahh
hot cheetos Quasimodo was also 16.
marie: People 16 and younger still get married, all over the world, including the USA.
“Like Fire, hell fire, this fire in my skin
This burning desire is turning me to sin...”
*simp
Also, Esmeralda believed she could only reunite with her mother if she was a virgin. She was willing to give that up because of how much she loved Phoebus. By stabbing Phoebus, Frollo ended up preventing the act. So (if Esmeralda was right) Frollo accidentally helped the mother and daughter find each other.
Victor Hugo is solidly by favorite author of all time, so I highly appreciate this video, and how thoroughly you covered it!
In other news, if you think Hugo’s tangents in The Hunchback are bad, you should try reading Les Miserables, which is 1462 pages long. Among its many tangents are, notably, more than twenty pages on the sewage systems of Paris, an in-depth history of the battle of Waterloo, and criminal lingo. Haha, I still love it, though, and I need to reread it. XD
emily: Evan the latest movie version of Les Miz was burdened with way to many tnagents. I mean, 4 love songs back to back? That's way to much love songs. That's like making a bowl of serial and filling half the bowl with sugar.
It's because they didn't have editors back then lol. Dead serious. Nobody told them "Hey Vic, these three chapters aren't pertinent to the story like... at all".
Les Miserables is so good!Though I remember reading the first pages and having a ton of them dedicated to how much money the bishop donates to charity. With charts and everything lol. 13-year-old me was like: "Wait. What's this."
Alyse B Good point.
I still say Quasimodo deserved Esmeralda! 💘
hell yeah
Actually Esmeralda and Phoebus make way more sense as Frollo saw her as demonic lust and sin, Quasi saw her as a pure kind Angel, Phoebus just saw her as a person and loved her as she is.
@@Vampirelilianfitzroy True...
Maybe, but what did Esmeralda deserve?
The reason why the book ends the way it is is because the lesson of the story is the actions of the character doesn’t matter and the cathedral will always remain. Remember, the book was about the cathedral and gothic buildings just like it.
I mean, the original title of the book is just the name of the cathedral itself, with no mention of Quasimodo.
I definitely didn't catch on to the rapey aspect of Frollo until a few years after this came out when I was old enough to understand what lust was versus love. The movie over all has a decent message like to stand up for yourself, love those who are different and fight for the freedom of the oppressed. But some of the themes are not for kids. Anytime someone sings a entire song about how badly they want they own and sleep with someone, it's beyond creepy. And this movie was low key depressing even as a kid to watch.
Great video though, I subbed!
daniel: Yes, it's OK that she wants to sleep with somebody attractive. What, you don't? And she was 16 and beautiful, while he was 36 and not. Frollo had the right to try anyway, (under the laws of the place and time) but once rejected, he should have dealt with it and gone for somebody more in his league.
Opinunate ted fuck you she was a gypsy
danieljliversLXXXIX you’re absolutely right
modelingbritt you need to get a hint as to how stupid you actually are. You just stated that you didn’t understand anything to be wrong when you were a kid and then you try saying the story isn’t for kids?!?! You’re fucking stupid kids don’t see a problem with something than maybe that’s cause there isn’t a problem. Did you ever consider the fact that you only disapproved of grilles behavior after growing up because your older self is more brainwashed than your younger self? Get a hint bitch
Vamp I know u weren’t taking to me, but this idea of “16 was an adult at the time” is total bullshit. We are still people. We are born as natural humans with good brains and we are not bound by any laws other than those of nature. The fact that government calls 18 an adult rather than 16 should make no difference regarding the truth and how individual people feel about age.
I watched the live musical of this and it made me bawl my eyes out :( My heart was absolutely broken when Quasi died after Esmeralda, entertwining his body with her own :( so so depressing...UGH!!!
The live musical was incredibly underrated here in England...
DAMN I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I love how dark and complex it is. I have a lot of respect for Disney and the risks they took to make it. Even though it does have its flaws, the things that make this movie brilliant do a superb job. I love and respect it to bits, and I look forward to the live action remake of it. And you gotta admit, Hunchback has one of Disney’s most legendary soundtracks ever.
Jon: I’m glad that I didn’t get rejected-
Me: lucky
Jon: -like that
Me: oh I feel you
*watching UA-cam video.
*sees new video from Jon solo.
*watch this instead
you're too kind
Shuppet pfp :3
I think Frollo is the darkest disney villain
Omg when he said that they found Quasimodo’s skeleton hugging Esmeralda’s, thats so sad
6:47 "So he does what any man would do when he falls in love and oRdErS HiS aDoPteD seRvAnt tO KiDnAp hER" geez 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone dies ecxept phoebus
He was always the fortunate one
yeah, too bad he's an ars- *ahem* I mean not a recommendable person
I have to wonder whose idea it was in the first place -- Victor Hugo does not exactly lend himself to 'Disney movie'. It's a good movie, but I can't believe it got made to begin with.
Actually it originated after people were removing bodies from an old French hanging...building..thing...they used to have buildings with 4 walls that they would hang people on arches until they decomposed and fell into a pit below. When it was made illegal they were removing bodies and found a body of a young woman being held by the body of a hunchbacked man (both had been dead for years) thus began the folk tail of the hunchback of Notre Dam. Thats the only true part of the tale.
You left out Gringoire. In the first two chapters, he's a pretty important character and in the end, he helps Esmeralda escape from Notre Dame but he escapes with the girl's goat, leaving her and Frollo behind.
Okay, so, I’m so glad that you pronounced Notre Dame as Notra DaHme and not noter dayme.
I'm probably one of the few that like this film. Hugo is also one of my favorite authors. Yes, long winded paragraphs, but most authors of that time wrote that way. Thanks for the comparison!
i love the long winded paragraphs. it helps u live the story.
Rebecca Smith thousands of people love it actually
Authors were being paid by the word,remember? Hence the,"long-winded paragraphs."
Rebecca Smith Hugo's tangents are the best 😂 strangely informative
The book is super dark but frankly one of my favorites. The ending really is quite action packed. Depressing but exciting.
The Disney film is actually in my top 3 fave Disney films. I think the music is some of the best the Disney co. has ever written.
I will never agree with you though on your preference to move past gothic architecture. While reading those chapters of the book where Victor Hugo rants about the architecture of notre dame might have been tedious, if it stopped people from tearing down and changing the cathedral then I'm glad he wrote it.
Notre Dame is my favorite place in Paris and is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I am beyond thankful that its gothic architecture has been so wonderfully maintained.
Victo Hugo had a really messed up mind bro
ikr
Jon, you really are one of the best storytellers I've seen so far. I've never watched the movie or read about it, but it really seemed interesting when you told it.
Victor Hugo is all about tangents... read the UNABRIDGED version of Les Miserables. You get the life story of the sister of the priest who allowed Val Jean to keep the things he stole from him so he could start his new life. Hugo was paid by the word... so he used a LOT of them!! :-D
I'm actually currently reading that book. I enjoy the actual story, but Jesus fucking Christ, is it a struggle to get through. "Hugo, I don't give a shit about the life story of the relative of this important character, who for some reason gets ten chapters dedicated to them, can we please GET ON WITH IT?!" For fuck's sake, man...
True. Back then you did get paid by the word instead of a percentage of the profits of book sales as it is today.
Are is unabridged versions easy to get?
@@JohnMorris-ge6hq the Gutenberg collection is free to download a LOT of gothic era books. I downloaded hunchback from there. www.gutenberg.org
Victor Hugo was not payed by the word for Les Miserables, that's a myth. His much earlier work was, but not Les Miserables.
@@JohnMorris-ge6hq ignore them, don't go free because you'll usually get Denney which is abridged but not described as such, get specifically the Donougher translation. It's the version Penguin Deluxe Classics use (don't worry, average paperback price)
How original do you wanna get?
The story Disney based their animation on, or the story that the story which Disney based on is based on...or all the way down?
Because Cinderella can get really really messed up if you go back far enough...ALL fairy tales are messed up because they probably originated from folklore told by drunk farmers to freak each other out lol
yeah but still, there were different morals back in the day? like murder and rape was a different kind of subject and therefore easier spoken about in folklore (idk how to say it really but just my thoughts).
Most old stories use "love" as code for lust and "marriage" as code for sex.
they originated from the grimm brothers lmao
IAN HEINE these spund like family guy cutaways
IAN HEINE It‘s true, in the version of the little mermaid I was told as a child , she dies at the end and turns to sea foam (because she didn’t succeed in marrying the prince) and needs to collect childrens laughter in order to get to heaven. Also, when she wallks on the legs given her by the sea witch, it hurts her like Knifes were cutting in her feet.
I never liked the story as a child.
Just to let everybody who is talking about the fire know, the building did not burn down to the ground. It's still standing, although parts of the roof and the spire have collapsed. Now that the fire is out, there are plans to rebuild the cathedral.
Yeah no one died, it'll be easy to rebuilt.
The fact that in the book frollo adopted quasimodo for good reasons even though he wasn't a good person really shows how humans are ultimately morally grey. A good person can do bad things and a bad person can do good things.
I've been waiting on this forever!! You're the real MVP
thas you!
Thas you! XD
I laughed way too hard on that one XD
Whoa everyone dies in the hunchback novel
Except Febis.
*Phoebus
Melisa Cangele woah?
RIP everybody
Because it's Victor Hugo. Dude also wrote Les Miserables. Not exactly a happy go lucky novel...
A lot of these book where written in a soap opera manner and read as such. They would often be serialized in newspapers or read a few pages aloud every night to a group of listeners. Before there was tv or radio, there was storytelling in the forms of books or magazines. Great video!
I discovered this channel yesterday and I've been binge watching it ever since. Great job. One of my favorite channels at the moment.
12:56 this is just heart breaking. Like my heart actually hurts at the thought of it
Great video! I would love to see one for Hercules😊
Me too 👀
The Disney version got so much he eek mythology wrong
I mean guys come on, Hera (the goddess he was named after, hence "Heracles" in most books) was literally trying to make his life miserable his entire life.
Since Hercules is a demigod that appears in lots of Roman/Greek mythology, it would be a lot to go into. The basic, condensed version of his generic story is that he was born to Zeus, whose wife (Hera) was jealous. Hera absolutely hated Hercules and constantly tried to trick him and kill him. He possessed a great amount of arrogance which got him into a lot of trouble at times, but he almost always pulled through okay. I think he was tricked into killing his birth mom at one point, though, so that’s kinda messed up. Also, Hercules is the Roman mythological version and Heracles is the Greek mythological version, so Disney got that wrong from the get go.
There's also the fact that Hades barely even appears in the mythological version, and when he does, he is actually not that bad in terms of Greek Gods.
I remember reading this book in 4th grade and being traumatized. Why the hell they had the original book in the school library, I don't know.
That's the most overpowered goat if he can impersonate politicians
