the hunchback of notre dame (1939 film)
years prior, orphaned brothers jehan and claude frollo were taken in at notre dame. jehan grows to be mischievous and deviant while claude remains pious, reluctantly covering for his brother's misdeeds. after jehan is caught with a gypsy woman named florika in his room, he is expelled from notre dame, leaving with florika and not being heard again in years. frollo eventually becomes the archdeacon of notre dame; one day, he receives a letter from jehan. the two meet in a hidden location; when frollo arrives, he finds jehan dying from the pox. jehan explains that florika had died three months ago from the same ailment and that his baby boy needs to be taken care of. frollo notices the baby is deformed, calling it a ‘monster’ and punishment for jehan's misdeeds. jehan dies; as frollo is about to kill the child, he feels the gaze of notre dame's saints and statues; feeling that it is a test from god, he feels compelled to save the child. he names the baby quasimodo (meaning half-formed) and raises him in notre dame. at this point, a male actor asks the audience “what makes a monster and what makes a man?” before strapping on a prosthetic ‘hump’, putting on quasimodo's distinctive costume and painting deformities onto his face to transform into quasimodo before the audience's eyes.
