What conflict is present in 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'?
How do the themes of isolation and societal rejection add to the conflict?
Quasimodo's physical appearance sets him apart from others and makes him a target for ridicule and isolation. This contributes to his conflict with Frollo, who sees Quasimodo simply as a tool to carry out his plans. Similarly, Esmeralda's gypsy identity causes her to be rejected by society and puts her in danger. Both characters are isolated in different ways, which makes the conflict more intense and tragic.
