i love frollo even though he is suppose to be the bad guy i think the only real bad guy is pheobus, he's such a player. I <3 FROLLO

[Alesetic]

Why people always do such a horrible thing to somebody who looks weak???

This film is so touching.

[CrazyBellatrixify]

Poor Quasi.

Gringoire is cute in this film.

So is Frollo. LOL.

[Waszma]

Yes it is a very touching scene. He doesn't even know what he did wrong. But if you want to cry, you have to cry for the sub-humans who torture him. Their lives are so pathetic that they scurry out into the streets like cockroaches whenever someone is about to be abused or ridiculed. The scary thing is that there are so many parallels between the society depicted here, and 2011 America. "We don't need more prisons, we need more executions"! The many, live in fear of the few.

He didn't do anything wrong, why do they want to pick on him?I got to say he's really holding out on the whipping on his back.

poor quasimodo :(

this scene makes me wanna cry.

@Alesetic I am taking a class about things like this. They treat him so horribly because they don't understand his illness. they fear him as well as make fun of him.

@Jazzelegance That's why I love Victor Hugo's work. Les Miserables took place in the early 1800's but the issues described therein, like this book, are every bit as relevant today as they were then.

Heeeey! It's Uncle Billy from It's A Wonderful Life! :D

The flogging scene has always haunted me in these movies. In the book Quasimodo was sentenced to be flogged for a whole hour. Now if this scene is in real time, the 50 lashes took about 5 minutes. If Quasi was flogged for a whole hour, like the novel describes, that would be in the neighborhood of 600 lashes. There is no way he could have survived.

I still don't see what is so "admirable" about Frollo. To me he still is the villain while Phoebus is just a conniving male with a hard on.

[mahogonywhisper]

I want to hug Quasimodo :'(.
