Although Paris' anti-Romani sentiments appear to be systemic, the persecution of the Romani appears to be advocated by Frollo, who is determined to eliminate the gypsies scattered throughout Paris as their indulgence in "witchcraft and sorcery" is infectious to those around them, according to him. This makes him feared and reviled throughout the city. A religious extremist and a dogmatist, Frollo is convinced that all his actions are justified because they are God's will, though he is a cruel and corrupt government official who uses his place in power to meet his own extreme ends, even employing common thugs to enforce his interpretation of God's will while posing as "soldiers".
Frollo's self-imposed mission drives him to perform inhumane acts of violence, all the while using his loyalty to God as justification. He believes the Romani people to be the most heinous of all malefactors, and therefore dedicates twenty years of his life to eradicating them. He is a powerful Parisian justice minister, who, after a series of sensitive circumstances, becomes the begrudged caretaker of the deformed Quasimodo.Īside from his political authority, Frollo is a religious zealot with intolerance for sinners. Judge Claude Frollo is the main antagonist of Disney's 1996 animated feature film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. “ Judge Claude Frollo longed to purge the world of vice and sin.Īnd he saw corruption everywhere, except within.” ― Clopin during " The Bells of Notre Dame"
