Talk:Quasimodo's father/@comment-25041621-20140921203643/@comment-1672596-20150110203141

Well, if that's truly the case, I frankly am somewhat disgusted with both Quasimodo's adoptive parents and his birthparents. Quasimodo's adoptive parents for basically agreeing to basically place Quasimodo at grave risk by adopting him, especially considering how Gypsies are being treated in Paris during that time, even if it was to save their daughter. Deliberately placing an innocent baby in grave danger, whether your own or not, is simply sick, regardless of motives. Had it been me in the father's position, I would have refused raising Quasimodo after giving up Esmerelda to save her precisely because I'm not willing to be party to endangering a child's life, whether my own or not. And as far as Quasimodo's likely birthparents, I'm disgusted with them for doing the above of actually giving Quasimodo to that Gypsy family considering how that decision would most likely get him killed if not worse thanks to Frollo's policies. They really should have placed Quasimodo into a monastery and have him raised by monks instead of effectively signing his death warrant by handing him to such a persecuted class as Gypsies. Shame that Claude Frollo, the main villain and the guy actually responsible for Quasimodo being an orphan, was pretty much the only person who even raised him somewhat decently. Sure, he did give him a rotten life, but he did raise Quasimodo, even when he could have easily just disobeyed the Archdeacon and NOT raised him at all, even throw him down the well.
