Read the Hunchback of Notre Dame

Books are the ladder of human progress and the nourishment of the world. I like reading books, books bring me a lot, books make me understand the whole world.

A beautiful maiden, an ugly bell-ringer, an evil archdeacon, enacting a myth of beauty and ugliness, good and evil, in the solemn and solemn convent of Our Lady. Yes, this is the Notre Dame de Paris, written by the famous Victor Hugo, which almost no one has ever read. It's also my favorite.

Esmeralda is the dirty society in the book, charming, lovely, kind, passionate...... She was loved by everyone, and the best word in the world is not too much. How unfair that such a beauty should live by busking in front of Notre Dame! The most beautiful princess could not match her beauty, but because she was of poor birth, he could not even get Captain Phoebus, whom he loved. What a society it is! Darkness envelops everything, everything.

One of the book's most distinctive features is its use of sharp contrast to depict the dark, inverted society of Paris at the time. In stark contrast to Esmeralda was Quasimodo, the bell rager, with a tetrahedral nose, a horseshoe mouth, a tiny left eye blocked by brown eyebrows, a large tumor covering the right eye, and a mangled mess of teeth; Hunchback, chicken breast, bow-legged; He appears as a hump; He walks and is lame; He is a one-eyed man; Talk to him. He's deaf. Anyway, if you can imagine how ugly he is, go ahead and imagine! But his heart is good, his heart is beautiful, is spotless. He guarded Esmeralda like a treasure, trying to keep her safe from all harm. But he was defeated by the powerful dark forces, and Esmeralda did not escape the fate of being mutilated and killed by the evil forces. Quasimodo finally chose to die, even in death is happy. The plot is twisty, bizarre, and the ending is tragic. Hugo used this tragic story to paint a social picture of life in the bizarre Paris of the 15th century. By the solemn Notre Dame Cathedral contrast bishop, noble evil and abnormal, also expressed Hugo's humanitarian thought.

Beauty and ugliness are not absolute. The soul of the beautiful person is not necessarily beautiful in appearance, on the contrary, the appearance of the beautiful person is not necessarily beautiful in mind. For example, Phoebus, who has a beautiful appearance, is like a ladle inside. He is a rude and shallow playboy. He is a typical representative of beautiful outside, but extremely distorted and ugly inside. Esmeralda's only defect is to fall in love with him, this duplicity, and fear Quasimodo, who is beautiful in heart. She is naive and infatuated, and eventually harms both herself and the kind-hearted Quasimodo.

This name has brought me many, many, many, many, we should value the inner beauty, and should not too much pursuit of external beauty. There are many ways to love a person, but the least desirable is archdeacon Frollo "to love him must possess her! "If you can't possess her, destroy her" thought, love a person should be sincere blessing him, like Quasimodo.

Oh, in Notre Dame, thoughts are flying...
