Detailed explanation-1: -Like other great Gothic texts (Shelley’s Frankenstein and the Bronte sisters’ masterpieces, to name a few), The Hunchback of Notre Dame takes readers on a dark journey and includes many of the commonly held and expected Gothic elements.
Detailed explanation-2: -In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hugo recreates the vibrant, intense atmosphere of 15th-century life to remind his readers of the splendour and significance of Paris’s Gothic past. The book doubles as a plea for the preservation of the city’s historic Gothic architecture (and thus its heritage).
Detailed explanation-3: -In The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, the hunchback’s real name is Quasimodo. He was abandoned as a baby because of his deformed appearance.
Detailed explanation-4: -The symbolized objects are the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the amulet. Notre-Dame Cathedral represents the triumph due to its height and its process of building. While the amulet stands for the innocence which protects one’s purity.
