He sees her as a evil temptress that must be destroyed, or owned. One is Frollo, who is the antagonist who seeks to completely own and control Esmeralda because he can't control his own lust for her. So in the movie there are three main male figures around Esmeralda. Now, I'm going to get to the specific reason why I think the ending to Disney's version is so great. Victor Hugo himself does not care about completely adhering to the original book he wrote, which means he likely wouldn't care if people change it for their own retelling. Some may argue that little should change in order to stay faithful to the book, but that argument does not hold up either considering it was actually Victor Hugo who wrote the first playwrite and major retelling with different plot elements of Hunchback being completely changed. The rights of minorities and the mistreatment were not even really on his list of major concerns when he wrote that book. He wanted to highlight the history of the people who used it, such as all the characters, and show how while the characters may die, Notre Dame perseveres. I don't think it's a secret, but the original author of Hunchback of Notre Dame, Victor Hugo, made the book with his largest concern being the preservation of historical architecture, specifically of Notre Dame. So for a very long time people have been complaining about the ending to Disney's version of Hunchback of Notre Dame, because in this version Esmeralda lives and in the original book version that it's based off of, Esmeralda dies.īut I feel like people who base whether or not the ending is good because it adheres to the book are missing the forest for the trees, because they don't seem to understand that the book had different intentions than the movie.
