although it's been nearly 25 years since the hunchback of notre dam was released
it remains to this day one of Disney's most controversial and talked-about
films ever known for some of the darkest imagery and themes of any Disney film
it's easy to assume that you've seen the worst after you watch this film well
your assumptions are wrong we've done some digging and we've under some of the
creepiest theories about the Hunchback of Notre Dom theories that will show you
just how dark this movie really was I'm Brad with wicked binge and buckle up
books because it's gonna be a rough ride well that's what you get for sleeping
with your mouth open the Cathedral of Notre Dom is alive as viewers who have
seen the movie now the grand Cathedral of Notre Dame has always been a cause a
much mystery in wonder the Cathedral tends to be the place where some of the
weirdest events in the film happened some so strange and confusing that you
can't help but wonder if the cathedral itself had a part to play in them but
what if it did would you be surprised if we told you that the Cathedral of Notre
Dom is actually a living organism that feels and expresses emotions well we're
here to tell you that it just might be in order to explain let's go back to the
scene where Frollo mistakenly takes Quasimodo's mother's life at first when
you look at the scene you might not find anything strange but when you look a
little closer you'll notice that the statues seem to be grimacing almost as
if they were angry well one theory suggests that the statues are in fact
expressing their dissatisfaction for the fact that a murder took place on their
grounds the statues don't approve of murder so they're simply showing their
unhappiness about it hence the twisted facial expressions
on the steps of north Retta also this might be the reason why the Archdeacon
convinces fromo to raise the baby in the Cathedral
the Archdeacon knows that the cathedral isn't too pleased with what happened
therefore to avoid a backlash in to appease the statues he was helping on
making Frollo bring the baby up within the walls of the cathedral and speaking
of backlash not only does the cathedral feel and express emotion but based on
circumstantial evidence presented in the movie it would seem that the cathedral
is also capable of granting the wishes of others Frollo desperately wanted to
see Esmerelda immerse in the fire something which actually does end up
happening during the hellfire scene we see Frollo staring intently at Nora Dom
this could mean that the cathedral granted him his wish this consequently
implies that the wisher is not required to be within the church's grounds in
order for his or her wishes to be granted
similarly following frollo's death the cathedral makes the new bell-ringers
wishes come true he's given company Quasimodo was in desperate need of
company for this reason the cathedral gave him the gargoyles who acted as his
companions whenever he felt lonely the filmmakers that already stated in an
interview that during the movie's development and planning stages for them
they designed the cathedral as a character with its own personality and
quirks good it's hopeless absolutely still to find out that a
church possessives supernatural power is extremely spooky kind of remind you of
something from a really scary supernatural horror movie doesn't it to
respect the sanctity of the truth the Hellfire sequence was where Frodo
sold his soul without a doubt one of the spookiest and weirdest scenes featured
in the movie if you were ever wondering whether there was more to Frodo's
madness than may meet the eye you're definitely right based on analysis
conducted it's quite possible that during this very scene Frollo made a
pact with the devil in effect selling his soul to the evil side I mean it just
seems too creepy not to think about especially when you look at the evidence
presented first of all the imagery projected during fro those champ
suggests that some sort of sinister exchange is taking place quite possibly
the transfer all of his soul to the devil in exchange for supernatural
powers
if not how do you explain the lyrics destroy Esmerelda and letter taste the
fires of hell or else let her be mine and mine alone who could he be possibly
addressing it's clear that he's speaking to a subject but who based on the
references of fire hell and the fact that the impression given is that
whoever Frollo is speaking to has the power to grant him his wishes it's fair
to deduce that those lines are in fact him creating a verbal contract with the
devil
it would also seem that through this contract he initiate what the devil he
has gained supernatural abilities for instance and the scene where Frodo
lights the house on fire his torch had barely made contact with the house
before it went up in flames could it be that the house caught on fire extremely
quickly or the flames at Frollo used to set the house on fire weren't regular
flames rather flames from hell still not convinced
well how about when Frollo and Esmeralda are in the heat of battle
just when he's about to deliver the finishing blow his eyes change color to
a stark yellow following which he utters he shall plunge a wicked into the fiery
pit is it me or does this sound just a little too much like a religious chant
could it be that he's channeling the devil spirit and condemning Esmeralda to
a life of complete and utter damnation for whether it's true or not
the possibility that Frollo sold his soul does add an unusually spooky twist
to an already creepy movie Frollo was cursed by Esmeralda just when you
thought the movie was creepy enough it gets kind of creepier here's a theory
that completely shifts what you might have thought the movie was about making
Frollo seem like an innocent victim following the heinous and evil crime
allegedly committed by Esmeralda frança as you recall during the festival fools
Frodo ends up seeing Esmeralda dancing in the crowd he expresses his disgust at
the way she was dancing something which Esmeralda seems to notice as in the next
shot she's seen looking at him and then disgusting display this is where it gets
interesting she Bing goes up to Frollo and wraps a
purple cloth around his neck shortly after Frollo begins to lose his
sanity this is the crux of this theory Esmeralda upset at frollo's comment
about her dancing decided to cast a spell on him using her purple cloth and
makes sense it can be argued that the incantation used in the hellfire scene
as actually a hallucination caused by the hex at Esmeralda place on him it's
all a byproduct of the curse she placed on him one which causes him to lose his
mind because he's a religious man the curse
works in such a way that it forces all his visions to be connected in some way
shape or form to religious practices hence the Incan tations that suggests
that he's made a pact with the devil it would seem that the purple cloth is the
root of the problem something that he himself seems to recognize during the
scene where he declares that he will put an end to Esmerelda we see that in his
left hand he's holding the purple cloth the fact that attention is drawn
specifically to the purple cloth in his hand suggests that there is more to it
than meets the eye that the source of his misery stems directly from the cloth
that Esmeralda used to curse him
and as much as this movie has a lot to do with dark subject matter the fact
that there's even a possibility that frollo's bizarre behavior it's all a
direct result of a spell being cast upon him is a bit unsettling Quasimodo is an
assassin although Quasimodo is shown to be a
rather complex character was a lot of goodwill despite the overwhelming
disdain shown to him by the public there might be a lot more about Quasimodo than
his let on anyone ever found Quasimodo to be just a little too stealthy for the
average person I mean obviously he's not exactly your average Joe but still he
seems to be remarkably acrobatic and stealthy for someone who has a humpback
what could that possibly mean Quasimodo might not just be a bell ringer in fact
he might actually be an assassin now and as much as this might sound unbelievable
let's look at some of the facts Quasimodo is shown to be extremely
acrobatic he scales buildings and climbs rooftops with ease how did he develop
such a skill while one plausible explanation is that after a life of
complete solitude and inability to see the fullness of the outside world he
mastered the art of scaling buildings in order to get a brilliant view of
everything however there's another theory and yes it's dark it's not
impossible to believe that Quasimodo was an assassin who murdered the citizens of
the town in an act of rage for being rejected for so many years
despite his gentle and pleasant demeanor Quasimodo isn't happy about being
isolated from the rest of the world this unhappiness brooded eventually
turning into a deep-rooted hate for those in the town for this reason he
became an expert assassin who and methodically killed those in the town
because they made him feel less than human for this reason he perfected his
acrobatic skills that way after he's finished killing someone
he could easily escape of course in order to not draw much attention to
himself he would carefully plan and space out his murders that way no one
would easily link the murders to him although this might not be true it's
still a reasonable theory to reflect on right all right well maybe not easy easy
I just shaved this morning but come on Quasimodo needs to find an outlet to
release all the bottled up shame he feels from outsiders who treat him like
he's less than human so why not do a little killing
