The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is a classic story that demonstrates the moral lesson, do not judge a book by it's cover. Quasimodo was a disfigured baby who was abandoned by his mother and raised by an evil judge Frollo who locked him in a cathedral bell tower. Due to his facial deformities and his hunched back, the townspeople viewed him as a monster. However, he is loyal, brave, and does whatever he can for his friends. His true character is how he earns the love of the beautiful gypsy woman Esmerelda. ( )
