Anyone else agree about Frollo?
I think his character was quite fascinating. Though he's clearly a prudish, austere and devoutly Catholic man, he's also an obvious sexual sadist.
1)He excels and relishes in being an authority figure, to the point where he uses it to kill.
2)Not only does he command the Palace of Justice, but in one scene he gives expert advice on how to best torture a prisoner by whipping. In another, he hints that gypsies "don't do well behind stone walls", implying that he's been taking pleasure in watching them suffer inside the prison.
3)He has raised Quasimodo to address him as "master" and constantly grovel and beg for privileges.
4)When he grabs Esmeralda from behind, he holds her hands behind her back in a bound position, and in the time that he obviously has an erection, says he was imagining "a rope around that beautiful neck".
I think they crafted it pretty well. However, I don't get why people think it such a scandal for children to view the film, given that when I was seven years old I didn't pick up on any of these sexual details. All I could tell was that Frollo was the villain.
