Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, “The Hunchback of Notre-Dame,” is a haunting tale of love, tragedy, and redemption set against the backdrop of medieval Paris. Hugo’s vivid prose brings to life the majestic Notre-Dame cathedral and its mysterious bell-ringer, Quasimodo. As I read, I found myself captivated by the complex characters and their intertwining fates. The novel’s exploration of societal prejudice and the nature of true beauty left me pondering long after I turned the final page.
Love is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin.
