An example of this would be Esmeralda from Victor Hugo’s‚ The Hunchback of Notre dame. She was a gypsy‚ something that was looked down upon in France during this time. She never had someone in her life besides the men who wanted to sleep with her because she was so beautiful (though

Phoebus‚ who is a nobleman‚ a soldier‚ and the captain of the King’s archers‚ is also one to cheat on his fiance‚ Fleur-de-Lys de Gondelaurier‚ and later ignore his chance to save Esmeralda during her execution. Quasimodo is another quality example of moral complexity because while he remains loyal to Esmeralda in every way that he can‚ he also doesn’t hesitate in pushing Frollo off the ledge and murdering

Albert Lawrence T. Villanueva LS310 Claude Frollo uses the example of the spider and the fly to characterize the inevitability of his passion for Esmeralda and the certainty that it will destroy her. As the story develops he and Esmeralda are certainly drawn into a web of mutual destruction but what Frollo ascribes to fate the reader understands to be a carefully constructed plan to ensnare the poor gypsy girl and force her into submission or death.

When Frank was five years old he placed a snake in Blyth’s artificial leg whilst he was asleep. When they awoke Blyth strapped on his leg to play football. He was bitten and died from the venom. What makes this death different from Paul and Esmeralda is that Frank killed Blyth for revenge. The concept of getting revenge may be influenced by the movie ‘I spit on your grave’ released in 1978.

The Lion King‚ the hyenas had a stereotypical voice resembling poor African Americans and Hispanics. Likewise‚ one immediate stereotype that is apparent in the movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) is the fact that the only black characters are Esmeralda and all the gypsies.
