I ask this because I have, what I suppose, is the same condition that Quasimodo had and I have had the experience of the villagers rioting at my gates, but it has not happened in a very long time. I remember the Revell plastic model kits of Quasimodo that were sold along with Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, and the Wolfman, and I have always questioned who and what constituted a monster. To me, Quasimodo's skeletal structure has always been a human metaphor for the beauty of the cathedral, but perhaps that is wishful thinking on my part. Rebecca Anne Edwards Johnson You give me a precious insight into Quasimodo, with your question. It is not a horror story for me, but a story about the fear and the isolation in all of us.
All heroes are monsters.
Thank you for your lovely words.
