1
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,800
In this video, we'll discover the dark story

2
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:22,500
of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

3
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,100
There were inappropriate scenes for kids 
in the Disney version;

4
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,800
but, what about its original version written 
by Victor Hugo.

5
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:38,300
But before we discuss that, let's recall 
first its Disney movie.

6
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,200
The Hunchback of Notre Dame took place in 
Paris, France.

7
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:46,100
It is about a deformed bell-ringer named 
Quasimodo.

8
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,700
He was born in a family of Gypsy who were 
killed by a Minister of Justice

9
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,200
named Claude Frollo, who is extremely mad 
at the Gypsies.

10
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:57,500
Just so Frollo won't feel guilty

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,100
and to cover up his murder of an innocent 
woman,

12
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,100
he adopted her disabled child.

13
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,500
He named him Quasimodo.

14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,100
He raised him at the Notre Dame Cathedral

15
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,800
and the disabled kid became a bell-ringer.

16
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:16,000
The relationship between Frollo and Quasimodo 
weren't good

17
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:19,200
because Frollo made Quasimodo believe that

18
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:22,500
it wasn't safe for the likes of him to go 
out of the church.

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,800
He said that Quasimodo was too weak for the 
complicated world outside.

20
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:30,800
Even though he remained hidden and prohibited 
to go out,

21
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:36,400
Quasimodo still decided to go to their town's 
annual celebration

22
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,000
called Festival of Fools.

23
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,000
He enjoyed the beginning of the event

24
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:45,200
but eventually, he was humiliated by everyone.

25
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:51,200
After the humiliation ended, a Gypsy named 
Esmeralda came.

26
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:52,300
She saved Quasimodo.

27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,400
But in order to prevent Esmeralda from being 
arrested

28
00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:00,900
because of using witchcraft, she temporarily 
stayed at Notre Dame

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,400
as it was safe from any laws.

30
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,900
In this movie, Esmeralda captured the hearts 
of

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
three men: Quasimodo, the captain of the 
guards named Phoebus, and the scary Frollo.

32
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:19,000
Eventually, Frollo learned Esmeralda's escape 
plan.

33
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,500
Frollo kept on trying to capture and burn 
her

34
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,200
because Esmeralda rejected his feelings.

35
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:27,800
Quasimodo had saved Esmeralda

36
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:32,400
and Phoebus freed the Gypsys that were imprisoned 
by Frollo.

37
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:37,000
Frollo had another chance to kill Quasimodo 
and Esmeralda,

38
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:42,500
but after several fights, Frollo fell to 
his death.

39
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,900
At the end of the movie, Quasimodo became 
a hero

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,700
for saving Esmeralda and the people of Paris.

41
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,900
Meanwhile, Phoebus and Esmeralda fell in 
love and became a couple.

42
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,800
Quasimodo accepted it and they lived happily 
ever after.

43
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:02,600
We can tell that this story wasn't really 
for kids

44
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:07,700
because there were killing and burning of 
people in this Disney version.

45
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,500
However, the original version written by 
Victor Hugo in 1833

46
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,100
was scarier and creepier.

47
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,800
This novel was entitled Notre Dame De Paris.

48
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:22,700
And here's how the story started...

49
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Similar to the movie, Quasimodo was born 
a Gypsy

50
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,200
but the mother didn't die saving him.

51
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:37,400
In this book, his mother took a female child 
from a woman named Gudule

52
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:41,400
and exchanged Quasimodo which is her own 
son.

53
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:47,700
Gudule lost her mind for not seeing her real 
child

54
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,700
and she thought Gypsy ate her daughter.

55
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,000
She left Quasimodo in an orphanage at Notre 
Dame.

56
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:59,400
Time has passed and nobody still wants to 
adopt Quasimodo

57
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,100
besides the priest named Claude Frollo.

58
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,600
He adopted Quasimodo because he reminds him 
of his brother.

59
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:10,700
According to the book, when Frollo was still 
young,

60
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,300
his parents died in a plague.

61
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,500
He was left to take care of his younger brother.

62
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,400
He felt pity for the child and he also named 
him Quasimodo.

63
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,200
He raised him in the church and taught him

64
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:28,600
how to read, how to write, and a few social 
skills.

65
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:32,800
Aside from his physical disabilities such 
as being hunchbacked,

66
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:38,400
he has a big mole on his right eye which 
made him blind in one eye and

67
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:40,700
he has huge birthmarks on his face.

68
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,100
He also has mental disabilities that make 
him slow in learning.

69
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,900
Frollo wasn't happy about it.

70
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,600
Quasimodo had liked the Church's campane 
since he was young.

71
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:58,500
So when he turned fourteen, he became the 
official bellringer of the church

72
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,900
and because of it, he also became deaf.

73
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,200
Even though Frollo had a good intention in 
adopting Quasimodo,

74
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:10,800
they still didn't have a good relationship 
because of Quasimodo's many disabilities.

75
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:15,900
Similar to the movie, Quasimodo also wanted 
to witness the life outside church

76
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,300
so he attended the town's celebration.

77
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,800
He was also titled as the Pope of Fools for

78
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:23,800
having the ugliest face in their town.

79
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:29,000
Because of this, half of the audience's attention 
was focused

80
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,200
on Quasimodo The Hunchback and the others 
were watching

81
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,500
the dance of a pretty girl named Esmeralda.

82
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,100
Here's where Frollo first saw Esmeralda and 
he immediately

83
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,400
got fascinated even though he has responsibilities 
at the church.

84
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:46,900
Because of Frollo's desire to have Esmeralda,

85
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,800
he ordered Quasimodo to kidnap her.

86
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:54,100
But their plan was unsuccessful.

87
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400
The people caught Quasimodo.

88
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:59,700
Quasimodo's trial court didn't turn out well.

89
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,500
Just like what I mentioned earlier, Quasimodo 
is deaf

90
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,100
and the Judge of his trial is also deaf.

91
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,300
The two deafs weren't able to communicate 
well

92
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,100
and the audience laughed at them.

93
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,000
The judge thought that Quasimodo was fooling 
him.

94
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:17,500
He got mad and gave Quasimodo a punishment 
of

95
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,600
pillory while getting whipped for two hours 
in front of many people.

96
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:26,300
He was also getting hit by the angry people.

97
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,100
There were moments that he saw his adoptive 
father just looking at him.

98
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,700
He signaled for help but Frollo ignored him.

99
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Here's where Esmeralda came to give Quasimodo 
water.

100
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:44,100
He immediately fell in love with Esmeralda.

101
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,200
After 2 months, Captain Phoebus was relaxing 
at the Town Square

102
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:53,400
in front of Notre Dame while talking to the 
rich and pretty ladies.

103
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,100
Because he was busy talking with them, he 
didn't notice

104
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,100
that Esmeralda was dancing in the same place.

105
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,300
One of the ladies that Phoebus was talking 
to

106
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,400
noticed Esmeralda because she found her familiar.

107
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:11,000
The lady called Esmeralda to come near them

108
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:16,500
and because these ladies were superior, they 
bullied Esmeralda.

109
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,200
One lady peeked at Esmeralda's bag and saw 
a wood

110
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:24,300
with a carving of Captain Phoebus' name.

111
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,900
That lady immediately felt jealous because 
she also

112
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,600
has feelings for Captain Phoebus and she 
wants no rival.

113
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:36,400
Because of this, the lady went berserk and 
called Esmeralda a witch.

114
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:41,100
Esmeralda ran away because of the humiliation.

115
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,000
Captain Phoebus followed her and invited 
her to meet at night.

116
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:47,600
Esmeralda agreed.

117
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:51,100
Their conversation was witnessed by Claude 
Frollo

118
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,800
who was at the top of Notre Dame.

119
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:56,500
Frollo got jealous and envious of Phoebus

120
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,300
because he can approach and go near Esmeralda.

121
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,500
Later that night, Frollo followed Phoebus

122
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
and he secretly eavesdropped on his conversation 
with Esmeralda.

123
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:09,500
Frollo witnessed the confession of love between 
Esmeralda and Phoebus.

124
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,600
Frollo immediately came out of his disguise

125
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,400
and consecutively stabbed Captain Phoebus.

126
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:19,800
Meanwhile, Esmeralda fainted out of shock 
and fear.

127
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:23,300
When Esmeralda woke up, Captain Phoebus' 
men thought

128
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,500
that she was the one who stabbed him

129
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,000
so they immediately arrested her.

130
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:32,500
They brought Esmeralda to prison and tortured 
her.

131
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,100
They were forcing Esmeralda to confess to 
the crime she never did.

132
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,700
Unfortunately, she received a judgement

133
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,400
of death by hanging in front of Notre Dame.

134
00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:44,700
On the day of Esmeralda's execution,

135
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,700
she saw Captain Phoebus looking at her.

136
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,800
She was shocked that the Captain had survived.

137
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:55,900
But because he can't clearly remember what 
happened and Frollo had a disguise,

138
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,500
Phoebus believed that Esmeralda stabbed him.

139
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,200
Phoebus just looked away and left.

140
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:07,400
Unexpectedly, Quasimodo saved Esmeralda from 
her execution.

141
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:12,000
Similar to the movie, Quasimodo was hanging 
on a thick rope

142
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:15,800
that is tied on the top of Notre Dame just 
to save and take Esmeralda.

143
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:21,200
They landed on the church where she was saved 
from the hands of the law.

144
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:23,200
But after several days,

145
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:29,500
the higher-ups decided to intrude the church 
and arrest Esmeralda.

146
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,100
The Gypsies knew about it so they formed 
a force

147
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,700
to also intrude the church to help Esmeralda.

148
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,200
But the problem is, Quasimodo was deaf.

149
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:44,500
He didn't understand that the Gypsies only 
wanted to help

150
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,000
so he thought that they were enemies too.

151
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:52,200
Quasimodo got busy fighting with the King's 
men and the Gypsies.

152
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:56,900
Meanwhile, Frollo walked to the secret passage 
of the church

153
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,100
where he found Esmeralda.

154
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,600
He told Esmeralda that he'll help her to 
escape.

155
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:04,600
Esmeralda immediately agreed to come

156
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:06,600
for she didn't know that Frollo was the one 
who tried

157
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:10,200
to kill Phoebus because he was in disguise 
before.

158
00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:13,200
Here's where Frollo took advantage of the 
moment.

159
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:17,200
Frollo said that he can save Esmeralda from 
death

160
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:21,200
and he'll only do it if Esmeralda agrees 
to marry him.

161
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:24,700
Esmeralda didn't agree to it and she asked 
the priest

162
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,100
to just hang her to death instead of marrying 
him.

163
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,600
Because of Frollo's anger, he sent Esmeralda

164
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:35,700
to a place where a woman with extreme anger 
to Gypsies lives.

165
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,300
The woman was Gudule.

166
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,200
She was the woman I mentioned earlier

167
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:41,800
whom had her child taken by the Gypsies.

168
00:10:41,900 --> 00:10:44,400
While Gudule tortures Esmeralda,

169
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:48,400
she narrates the evil things that the Gypsies 
did to her.

170
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:53,600
Gudule also took out one slipper which is 
the only memory left of her child.

171
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:58,000
Esmeralda was shocked and took out one slipper 
from her bag.

172
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:00,600
It was very similar to the one Gudule holds.

173
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:04,900
It only means that Gudule was Esmeralda's 
mother.

174
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,600
Because of this, Gudule doesn't one to surrender 
Esmeralda

175
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:11,100
and she hid her from the guards.

176
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,600
However, they still found Esmeralda.

177
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:18,100
The mother did everything she could just 
so they couldn't take Esmeralda.

178
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,600
But she got accidentally killed by a guard.

179
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:27,600
Meanwhile, Quasimodo was successful in his 
fight with the Gypsies and soldiers.

180
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:31,200
He immediately returned to the room where 
he left Esmeralda

181
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:33,700
but the lady was nowhere to be found.

182
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,700
He went to the top of Notre Dame.

183
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,800
He saw Frollo watching the hanged body of 
Esmeralda.

184
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:43,700
Quasimodo got extremely angry that

185
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,700
he strangled Frollo and threw him outside

186
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,000
resulting in the death of the priest.

187
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,900
Quasimodo stared at Esmeralda's dead body

188
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,100
and that was the last time that everyone 
saw Quasimodo.

189
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000
After several years, Esmeralda's grave was 
dug out.

190
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:06,200
There they found the skeleton of a hunchback 
hugging another skeleton.

191
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:09,900
Here's where this video ends.

192
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,200
If you're interested with these type of stories,

193
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:15,100
I'll drop some playlist that you might be 
interested in.

194
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Once again, thank you and now taking a leave, 
Dokumentador. (See you again!)
