Notre Dame de Paris:
The author's life
Victor hugo, 1802, was born in Beauchampson, eastern France, on February 26th.
When I was a child, I followed my father to Italy and Spain, where I began to receive primary education. Hugo's mother was a supporter of the Bourbon dynasty, which had a profound influence on young Hugo. After the restoration of Bourbon, Hugo's father swore allegiance to the new ruler, and Hugo followed his mother back to Paris.
Due to the political interests of Hugo's family under the rule of the Restoration Dynasty and the influence of his mother, Hugo's early works tend to be conservative.
After Charles X came to power, the growing reactionary rule made the trend of liberalism increasingly high. In this context, Hugo's political attitude began to change.
1827, he published the famous preface to Cromwell and became the leader of the romantic movement. Until 1840, he showed the achievements of romantic literature with rich drama, poetry and novel creation.
With the establishment and consolidation of the financier dynasty, Hugo gradually adopted a compromise attitude with reality in politics.
185 1 year, louis bonaparte launched a counter-revolutionary change, declared an imperial system, and wantonly suppressed it. Hugo and his political factions issued a declaration to try to resist, but they failed. Forced into exile after the coup 1 1.
1870, Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte collapsed, Hugo ended his long exile and returned to Paris triumphantly, which was warmly welcomed by the people of Paris.
1885, Hugo died in Paris, France mourned, and Paris held a grand funeral.
abstract
When the citizens of Paris were immersed in the carnival of April Fool's Day, the election of "the king of fools" was being held in the court hall. Everyone took out the lucky "king of fools". This man has a tetrahedral nose, a horseshoe-shaped mouth, one-eyed, hunchbacked and lame ... Among all his deformities, there is an unquestionable firm, earnest and brave character. He is quasimodo, the bell ringer of Notre Dame.
In the parade in the street, someone shouted, "Esme Halda is here!" The marching crowd immediately reveled and shouted. People flocked to the square. In the square, I saw Esme Halda, a gypsy girl who lives as a busker, dancing on the Persian carpet. Her light and elegant dancing always arouses people's carnival applause. Hundreds of people danced with Esme Holda. At this time, as a skeptical philosopher and satirist, Gan Guo Wa was fascinated by the magnificent scenery. He didn't know whether the girl was a human being, a fairy or an angel. At this time, among all the onlookers, a serious, calm and gloomy middle-aged man paid more attention to the dancing girl than anyone else, and uttered several curses from time to time. He is Claude Fraineau, Vice Bishop of Notre Dame.
In the other corner of the square, in Tali, the Netherlands, Jude, a female monk, was taken away by gypsies 15 years ago because of her daughter, and scolded her with a hateful voice to leave quickly. Esme Holda felt panic and anxiety.
Esme Halda left the carnival square with her beloved little goat. Curious Gan Guo Wa has been following this beautiful girl. When Esme Holda went to an alley in the square, suddenly Fraineau and quasimodo rushed out and took Esme Holda away. Gan Guo tile saw this scene, too scared to rescue. At this critical moment, the Royal Guard passed by, and the guard Fabi saved Esme Halda. When the guards were fighting with quasimodo, frollo slipped away. Quasimodo was arrested.
Esme Halda thanked Fabi very much. After bidding farewell to Fabi, she returned to the beggar kingdom. The lower classes of Paris live here. They are French, Spanish, Italian and German ... These people are beggars by day and thieves by night. Esme Halda lives here, and she has great magic among these beggars and thieves. When Esmehar returned here, both men and women beggars stood up obediently, and their fierce faces softened. Gan Guo strayed into the beggar's kingdom and was arrested. According to the laws of the beggar kingdom, Gan Guo Wa will be sentenced to death. In order to save Gan Guo's life, Esme Halda resolutely promised to be Gan Guo Wa's "wife". Although Esme Halda provided accommodation for Gan Guo Wa, Gan Guo Wa was not allowed to approach her.
After quasimodo was arrested, he was dragged to the gallows in Gray Hook Square to be punished. People in the square played all kinds of games to humiliate this ugly guy. When quasimodo saw Fraineau in the crowd, his eyes lit up and he was overjoyed, but his adoptive father escaped quasimodo's eyes in a hurry. Quasimodo, who was tied to the gallows, was mercilessly whipped. He was so thirsty that he cried in despair, "Give me water to drink!" " Everyone who watched laughed at him and was indifferent. Esme Holda watched all this, stepped onto the scaffold from the crowd, and gently sent the water hyacinth in her arms to quasimodo's chapped mouth. People saw a tear rolling from quasimodo's dry eyes. Perhaps this is the first time that quasimodo has shed tears. At present, such a beautiful, pure, charming and exquisite girl can have such pity for an ugly and vicious person, and the audience is moved by it; Only the female monk in the Dutch tower saw all this and cursed again and again: hateful gypsy woman. Quasimodo returned to Notre Dame and became a bell ringer. Esme Holda continued to dance in the square, while quasimodo leaned against the bell tower of Notre Dame to enjoy Esme Holda's dance, which was tender and lovely in quasimodo's eyes.
16 years ago, quasimodo was abandoned by his parents and adopted by Fraineau. From then on, quasimodo regarded Fraineau as his only relative. However, quasimodo was discriminated against and ridiculed by people because of his ugly and deformed appearance. Quasimodo's heart is full of hatred. Quasimodo was deeply moved by Esme Holda's good for evil. He has infinite gratitude and pure love for Esme Holda. Frollo never gave up his lust after the failure of robbing Esme Halda. Frollo looked for Esme Halda on the north tower of the church with bedroom eyes. Esme Halda takes Gan Guo to the streets every day and, as usual, helps her collect money for busking.
Fabi, the captain of the Guard, left a deep impression on Esme Halda. He is Esme Halda's savior and her idol. But Fabi and his cousin are engaged. By chance, Esme Halda was dancing in the street and was seen by Fabi. He called Esme Hal to his menstruation home to perform. Esme Halda took her beloved little goat to menstruation's house in Fabi. A young lady from Aunt Fabi's house used Esme Halda to talk to Fabi and used candy to lead the kid to another room. Miss curiously untied the small pocket around the child's neck and poured the contents on the floor. The child fiddled with it skillfully. So this is the alphabet. After a while, people found the child fiddling with a word, which was Fabi. It turns out that Esme Halda has fallen in love with young, handsome and beautiful Fabi since she was rescued. She trained the little goat with two months' efforts. All this was seen by Fabi, who knew the secret of the gypsy girl's heart. When Fabio sent Esme Halda out of her home in menstruation, she met Esme Halda at the hotel. Fabi told the secret to Fraineau's brother. When frollo learned the news and saw that the girl he secretly loved and coveted was about to fall into the arms of another man, frollo came to the hotel in disguise. When Fabi and Esme Halda embraced, Frono was jealous, pulled out a dagger and inserted it into Fabi's chest, then quickly slipped away. The news that gypsy woman assassinated the captain of the guard soon spread all over Paris. Esme Halda was arrested and sentenced to hang by the court.
Esme Holda was kept in a dark dungeon and was very weak. That night, Frono, wearing a cassock, secretly came to the dungeon. He publicly expressed his love and inner pain to Esme Halda. He offered to run away with Esme Holda, but Esme Holda flatly refused. Esme Holda was taken to the square and executed. Fabi, who recovered from the injury, was sitting upstairs in menstruation's house, looking at Esme Holda coldly. Fabi was afraid to stand up and prove Esme Holda's innocence. At this moment, quasimodo rushed out of the church. He knocked down the executioner with his fist, held Esme Halda over his shoulder, jumped into the church and shouted in a hoarse voice: Holy Land! The crowd broke into cheers, and they were moved by quasimodo's feat. Quasimodo protected Esme Holda. When Fraineau sneaked into Esme Halda's house late at night again, he was beaten up by quasimodo. Quasimodo understood that Esme Holda was deeply in love with Fabi. Quasimodo found Fabi and begged him to meet Esme Holda. Facing quasimodo, Fabi shrugged and rode away.
Soon, Congress sentenced Esme Holda to death again. After learning the news, the people of the beggar kingdom led by Cloban attacked Notre Dame late at night. Angry crowds poured into the church to rescue their Esme Holda. Quasimodo doesn't know the truth. The people who bravely resisted the attack in the church, Frono and Gan Guo Wa sneaked into the church and cheated Esme Halda in the name of helping her escape. Esme Halda once again fell into the clutches of Fraineau. King Louis Xi, who was hiding in the Bastille, thought that the civil riots were an attack on the court and gloated. When he knew that the real purpose of street riots was to oppose the king, he ordered the suppression of the masses. At that time, there were corpses everywhere in front of Notre Dame.
The army is hunting Esme Holda. Just then, a masked man in black grabbed Esme Halda and stood in front of the gallows. The masked man in black pulled off his face towel to show his face. Fraineau again. He threatened Esme Holda again with the erected gallows, saying, Choose between him and me. Esme Holda will die. Frustrated, Funuo left Esme Halda in the care of the female monk and called the searching gendarme himself. The female monk looked at the beautiful, lively and provocative Esme Halda and thought of her lost daughter. When they took out a small embroidered shoe that they kept, the female xiutu realized that Esmehar was her lost daughter 15 years ago, and both mother and daughter burst into tears. Frollo called the police, and the executioner dragged Esme Holda out of the friar's arms. The executioner pushed the female monk onto the stage and died on the spot.
The sun came out and Paris was as red as fire. Esme Halda, dressed in white, rocked in mid-air, and Fraineau showed a demonic smile on the upstairs of Notre Dame. Grieving quasimodo looked at Esme Halda who was hanged, pounced on the archbishop and angrily pushed Fraineau down the church.
A few years later, two connected bones were found in the body storage room of Montfogon cellar. One of them is a deformed male corpse, and there is no trace of hanging on his body. People separated the two bodies and the bones turned into a mass of dust.
Works review
Notre Dame de Paris is the most concentrated and typical embodiment of Hugo's romantic literary view. Its distinctive romantic features are as follows:
1. Strange plot
The plot of this novel is bizarre and dramatic, full of coincidences, exaggerations and grotesque that are impossible in real life. Such as: "Miracle Dynasty" strange trial poet; Quasimodo robbed the court to resist the attack of hordes; Mother and daughter meet again; Quasimodo's bones turned to dust as soon as they were separated. These twists and turns are changeable, but they are all true plots in essence, which greatly enhances the drama of the novel and thus enhances its appeal.
2. Extraordinary people
The characters in the novel are all typical romantics: Esme Halda's beauty and personality strength are extraordinary; Quasimodo's extraordinary performance lies in his terrible appearance, strange behavior, giant physical strength, and noble and self-sacrificing love and expression for Esme Halda; The contradiction between claude's abstinence and indulgence. The characteristics of these characters show Hugo's unique romantic characteristics, that is, he pursues exaggeration and imagination without seeking the truth of details and the likeness of reality.
3. Strong contrast
As an aesthetic ideal, the principle of contrast is the most important feature of Hugo's romanticism, which runs through the whole novel.
First of all, the harmonious and beautiful natural environment of Paris and Notre Dame is in sharp contrast with the dark and unfortunate life of the people, highlighting the darkness of feudal tyranny.
Secondly, compare the feudal dynasty with the "miracle dynasty" which respects human rights, is fair and honest.
The most important thing is the contrast of characters: the contrast of positive characters and negative characters-Esme Holda and quasimodo are representatives of kindness, sincerity and beauty, while Claude and Fabi are representatives of selfish, cold and ugly humanity. Good and evil are obviously reflected in these two groups of characters, resulting in a strong contrast. There are also contrasts between positive and negative characters, between negative and negative characters, and between the characters themselves, such as quasimodo's appearance and mind. The application of the principle of contrast makes the plot and characters of the novel more peculiar and the theme more prominent.
In addition, the author also depicts the vivid and gorgeous city scene in the Middle Ages with strong colors, showing readers a world full of gorgeous and strange sounds.
These descriptions greatly add romance to the novel.
