Synopsis

In "The Hunchback of Notre Dame Volume 2" by Victor Hugo, the drama intensifies as Quasimodo’s devotion to Esmeralda clashes with Frollo’s obsessive and destructive lust. Esmeralda faces persecution for her kindness and innocence, while societal hypocrisy and prejudice come to the forefront. Against the backdrop of medieval Paris, Hugo explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the abuse of power, juxtaposing the grandeur of Notre-Dame with the suffering of its people. As alliances shift and tensions rise, the characters’ fates become increasingly intertwined. This volume builds toward a tragic climax, blending passion, betrayal, and a poignant critique of human cruelty and redemption.

About Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo (1802–1885) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France.

In France, Hugo's literary reputation rests primarily on his poetic and dramatic output and only secondarily on his novels. Among many volumes of poetry, Les Contemplations and La Legende des siècles stand particularly high in critical esteem, and Hugo is sometimes identified as the greatest French poet. In the English-speaking world, his best-known works are the novels Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. His other novels include The Last Days of a Condemned Man, Toilers of the Sea, and The Man Who Laughs.
