⛓️ Claude Frollo ⛓️

Frollo is a young clergyman who was recently appointed archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral. He falls hopelessly in love with the gypsy Esmeralda, and after her refusal gives the order to execute her. His adopted son, the hunchback Quasimodo, who is also in love with a gypsy woman, throws Frollo from one of the cathedral towers in a rage. Among the many faces illuminated by the crimson flames of the campfire, the face of a man stood out, seemingly more absorbed than others in contemplation of the dancer. It was a stern, closed, gloomy man's face. This man, whose clothes were obscured by the crowd crowding around him, could not have been more than thirty-five years old; meanwhile, he was already bald, and only a few strands of sparse graying hair still remained on his temples; his broad and high forehead was furrowed with wrinkles, but in his deeply sunken eyes sparkled an extraordinary youthful fervor, thirst for life and hidden passion. He stared at the gypsy girl, and while the sixteen-year-old carefree girl danced and fluttered to the delight of the crowd, his face grew darker and darker. At times, his smile replaced a sigh, but there was even more sorrow in his smile than in the sigh itself, the Archdeacon appears in the novel as a tall, broad-shouldered man, slightly swarthy. He is not deprived of physical strength and possesses, moreover, a strong, clear voice. 35-46 years old. Claude Frollo's temperament can be interpreted as phlegmatic, with vivid choleric outbursts caused by infatuation and spiritual exaltation. We see before us a man who is passionate and striving for perfection in knowledge. The archdeacon's only enduring passion is alchemy, for he cannot fully master the secret knowledge. Having exhausted all the possibilities of his service to God, Frollo grows cold towards the church. We can't say for sure if he believes. And if so— who or what really? His religious fanaticism is the desire to follow the rules externally, but not internally. Having comprehended everything that medieval science could give him, the priest gradually renounces it: "Your science of man is nothing! Your science of the stars is nothing!" Perhaps his passion for the gypsy Esmeralda can be interpreted from similar positions. Having known carnal and human love, Claude Frollo would probably have abandoned it for the sake of studying alchemy, the only incomprehensible — and therefore seemingly true.
