Quasi is the only one who really loved her, Pheobus Gringoire and Frollo just thought she was attractive

[iluvrimmel]

Quazi is so kind! I would be-friend him, who wouldnt?

Not out of pity, but because of how kind and trustworthy he is

The king cracks me up. "Frollo's a murderer, lol, what is this, I don't even."

@NorthStar8211 its ok i can see where you could have got mixed up i love this film it is a timeless classic!

[NorthStar8211]

@artykez Many apologies, my previous response was not really to your message. You said that Gringoire was the one who tried to save her (besides Quasimodo) and not Frollo. I fully agree with you. It should be noted though that, in this movie version, Gringoire does a lot more than what he does in the book.

@artykez When did Frollo stick by her? He never took any responsibility for stubbing Phoebus and even gave away her goat tricks to his friend Charmolue so that she would be convicted of witchcraft. He wanted to see her either in her grave or in his bed and that does not exactly paint the picture of a devoted lover. And if saving her means stubbing her boyfriend and running away so she would be arrested, then he should have let her with Phoebus. At least she would still be alive(but he hated it).

[NorthStar8211]

@XxM00nSHADExX Even before that he had been plotting to have her arrested for sorcery so that he could have access to her in jail (the Phoebus affair speeded up things). Next he tried to rape her in the belltower and later he plotted again to get her out of the cathedral and blackmail her once more. And let's not forget that he once tried to abduct her using Quasimodo. Phoebus may have all the faults of a 15th century soldier but never tried to rape or frame her. Esmeralda chose to date him.

[NorthStar8211]

@XxM00nSHADExX True, Frollo did not start out as a bad man and was maddened due to his feelings for Esmeralda BUT this is no excuse. Even if we overlook the fact that he stubbed Phoebus, fact remains that he let the woman you say he loved take the blame and be arrested, tortured, jailed for a month and sent to the gallows. Instead of helping her because he loved her and wanted her to live, he tried to blackmail her. Since she did not love him, he preferred to see her dead than with another man.

@beanbagproductions Gringoire did really love her he was the only 1 out of Pheobus and Frollo who stuck by her and tryed to save her as for Pheobus he was just an arogant twat

[Waszma]

@XxM00nSHADExX The truth is that the real Frollo came out under pressure. The real test is can you do the right thing when it hurts? Seeing where this weak dirtbag ended up, one has to wonder what his motivations were in "rescuing" the Quaz man. Denying our inner dirtbag is the real test...when you have the chance to screw your business partner out of money,....when your buddy's wife or girlfriend comes on to you. To quote David Ruffin and the Temptations, "Beauty's only skin deep". Quaz rules.

I don't care if it would get me hung or ostracized by society, i would stay by Quasimodo thru thick and thin and try to get the people to see how unjust they are!

Quasimodo wanted to tell Ezmeralda that he loved her. But his courage failed him because of his deformities and physical appearance. So he ran away. But he was in love with her.
