User blog:WalrusGuy/PG Proposal: Quasimodo

For my next PG Proposal I decided to nominate Quasimodo.

As with his book counterpart, he's been drastically changed. Quasimodo's book counterpart is more prone to violence and more antisocial. Movie Quasimodo, not so much.

The plot in the movie is how he decides to leave the belltower and go witness the outside world, even though Judge Claude Frollo told him not to.

At the end, he realizes that the world wasn't a dark, cruel place like Frollo said it was.

In the sequel Madeline falls in love with him because of how sweet and lovable he is, even though he's not exactly a looker.

Corrupting Factors
Quasimodo might look like he's evil, but that's kind of the theme of the film. He's actually a genuinely good person. In contrast, Frollo looks normal, but he's the gypsys' mortal enemy.

Ironically enough when he and Phoebus were captured by Clopin after he mistook him for a servant of Frollo he himself was a gypsy.

He's accomplished a lot of impressive things, but he's by no means arrogant.

Admirable Standard
He has the courage to stand up to his master. That's pretty impressive.

He wasn't happy when he found out that Esmeralda decided to be Phoebus's lover...but unlike Frollo, he was willing to accept that.

Final Thoughts
I think he counts, but I figured I'd let you decide what you think. I might also propose the Archdeacon since he's everything Frollo is not.
