Notre-Dame de Paris Church as a Novel Protagonist The Hunchback of Notre Dame Victor Hugo
Penned by Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is built upon a lovestory evolving between a Gypsy girl, Esmeralda, and a hunchbacked church bell-ringer,Quasimodo. Nonetheless, the novel moves beyond a love story, and by sharinganalyses on the political and social matters of 15th century Paris and medieval Europe,it holds a mirror to that period. In the novel, both Paris city and Notre Dame de Parischurch play a more important role than solely forming the background of the plot.Rather, these elements take place in the novel as the building blocks of the story anddirect its flow. The plot of the novel was established by positioning the cathedral intoits centre. As the novel is analysed on the basis of space-human interaction, thecharacters are integrated with the church and exist in accordance with an attachment toplace.A major representative of the Romantic movement, Victor Hugo adopted the classicalart approach, and in an age where imitating Roman and Greek art forms was popular,Hugo, with his work in Gothic architecture, drew public attention. This work managedto stop the destruction of a great number of Gothic architecture symbols, the NotreDame de Paris Church in particular, by capturing the attention of society. On thataccount, this work plays quite an important role in protecting an architectural work vialiterature.
