Esmeralda finds and befriends Quasimodo to the bell tower and is captivated by the view of the city (""Hoch über der Welt"" – "On Top of the World"). Quasimodo helps her escape Notre Dame out of gratitude for defending him. Esmeralda entrusts Quasimodo with a pendant containing a map to the Court of Miracles. Quasimodo expresses his feelings, as he has been touched by Esmeralda's kindness (""Das Licht des Himmels"" – "Heaven’s Light"). Meanwhile, Frollo soon develops lustful feelings for Esmeralda and, upon realizing them, he begs the Virgin Mary to save him from her "spell" to avoid eternal damnation (""Das Feuer der Hölle"" – "Hellfire").
