Chapter 343: Devil Angel

Medieval Paris, the majestic and holy Notre-Dame Cathedral, a "devil" and a classroom, a beautiful but bumpy gypsy girl, and a group of life paths with different shapes and hearts, staged a lot of dramas together, the confrontation between spirit and body, the contest between human nature and greed, in the pen of the famous French writer Hugo vividly interpreted.

In Notre-Dame de Paris, the author writes with great compassion about the people of the lowest classes of Paris, the vagabonds, and the beggars. They were ragged and rude, but they possessed virtues far superior to those of the supposedly cultured, civilized world. Mutual help, fraternity, integrity, courage and self-denial. The scene of the Parisian homeless attack on Notre-Dame Cathedral in order to rescue Esmeralda in the novel is tragic, intense, generous, and thrilling, and it is obviously integrated to a certain extent into the heroic spirit of the Parisian people during the July Revolution and the destruction of the Saint-Germain church and the Archbishopric of Paris. The novel is set in Mali under the rule of Louis XI in the 15th century, and depicts the tragedy of good and innocent people being devastated and persecuted under the feudal autocracy of the Middle Ages with unusual tension and exaggerated characters. At this point, the novel also predicts through the mouths of the characters that the people will rise up and destroy the Bastille, hinting at the outbreak of the Revolution of 1789.

At the same time, the beautiful Esmeralda's beautiful and kind heart touched all the readers, and she rescued Grangoire as a wife, and she sent water to Quasimodo's mouth as an enemy. For everything, she didn't care, all she cared about was the cry of her conscience. Claude killed her without conscience.

Tragedy is always tragedy, but in tragedy it gives us the reader a lot of imagination, for example: Quasimodo sobbed and cried out from the bottom of his heart: "Ah! Everything I've ever loved! The contradictions, remorse, and self-blame in my heart are all expressed. I guess: his contradiction is because he easily "killed" his adoptive father, after all, this is his adoptive father, the benefactor's father, but for the sake of his beloved Esmeralda, he can only help but do all this; His remorse, because he knew and fell in love with Esmeralda, led him to kill his adoptive father, who saved his life; His blame was that he couldn't save Esmeralda, he could only watch her be hanged, he couldn't do his best to save his adoptive father, he could only watch him be swallowed alive by the abyss.

Purity, kindness, loyalty, compassion, self-sacrificing; Insidious, vicious, hypocritical, inhuman Claude and Quasimodo, who is kind, noble, and hateful. Notre-Dame continues to stand, and she can see the beauty, good, ugliness, and evil of human beings, but how can the beauty of Esmerrates be reflected without the ugliness of Khakimodo? Life may be like this, there is no fairness and unfairness, only different interpretations of life.

"Notre Dame de Paris" was created by Victor Hugo with his heart, which is full of his love and hate, sustenance and hope, and poured out his own deep and sincere feelings. He used his peculiar imagination to sketch exaggerated but thought-provoking scenes, expressing the meaning of beauty and ugliness in a moving and long way.

Not everything in all things is beautiful in accordance with human feelings, ugliness is next to beauty, deformity is close to beauty, ugliness hides behind the sublime, beauty and evil coexist, darkness and light coexist. The poet uses the theme word "love" to lead the characters in the book, and uses contrasts to show the beauty and ugliness vividly.

Attempts were made to separate him from the skeleton he was carrying, and he fell to dust

The poet cast Quasimodo with his soul. Among the many men who are so-called deeply in love with Esmeralda, he is the last to appear, but the one that shocks my soul the most, and it is precisely because of the contrast with those who have ugly hearts in front of him that his love for Esmeralda is especially noble and great. At first, perhaps it was a mouthful of water on the pillar of shame that brought him the first tears of his life, and he was grateful to this gypsy girl ever since. Quasimodo was a loyal and grateful man, and the poet describes him and Claude as dogs and their masters. Although the metaphor is somewhat ironic, it is not difficult to understand that the first sip of water was exchanged for his sacrifice to save Esmeralda on the gallows. Later, the initial gratitude turned into worship, and he was as intoxicated with her beauty as other men, however, this intoxication was the worship of love, not * with possession. He felt deep regret for his appearance and Esmeralda's beauty, but in silence, he did everything he could for her. He was deaf, but he could hear Esmeralda's whistle; Because she was afraid, he climbed high at all odds to flatten the monster statue opposite the bell tower; He went to change her with fresh food and water late every night, because he was afraid that his appearance would scare her; He stood guard night and night on the cold floor in front of her room, guarding the unblasphemous angel in his heart. There was one detail that particularly touched me, that the girl was so attached to her lover Phobes that he went to him for her, waited all day in the square until midnight to see Phobes, and finally failed to persuade Phobes to come to Esmeralda, and ended up being whipped. He was full of guilt when he saw Esmeralda, and behind the "get out", I can't imagine how lonely and hurt this person who is already inferior but loves with all his heart. He is ugly, the description of the text is enough to make people can't bear to imagine, but his heart is so beautiful, maybe his life experience, appearance made him grow up in a deformed environment, he has low self-esteem, cruelty, and eccentricity, but his heart is bright and kind. He placed two vases for Esmeralda, one of fine crystals with cracks that did not allow the flowers, and the other of rough clay pots that made the flowers fragrant and fragrant. This is Quasimodo's spiritual display of Esmeralda, and such an elaborate design implies his inner pain, affection, ideals and hopes. That pure, affectionate heart pulls my heart up and down. Let me still think of his actions, his roar of triumph in the bell tower in ecstasy after snatching Esmeralda from the gallows, his determination to defeat the siege of the bell tower by all kinds of cruel and bloody means, the madness of watching his beloved girl hang in the square, the unsurpassed love that broke his twenty years of loyalty and gratitude to his adoptive father, and turned into an impulse of hatred and grief. All these exaggerated and almost crazy behaviors are the best interpretation of love and beauty by that pure heart, but the great beauty and great love are in this ugly bell-ringer. The gallows has not yet scared me with you.
