The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The masterpiece of the French Victor Hugo The bell ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral Had a face of extreme ugliness and hideousness…

And a hunchback appeared, bent to the extreme, adding to the ugliness of his face.

But amidst this overflowing ugliness, the genius writer Searches for the inner human beauty that may be hidden Behind all this apparent deformity and external ugliness…

For the Hunchback of Notre Dame is a human who loves, cares, adores, grieves, suffers, And sacrifices his life for his beloved…

Despite the repulsive ugliness of his hideous face

And the hunch in his back overwhelming in its bend… It is true that external ugliness may harm the eye, Yet internal ugliness, devoid of humanity, Will harm the soul to a greater extent…

Even if it hides behind faces overwhelmed by beauty and charm, try to look deeply into the inner selves of people, not their outward appearances As you search for the wonderful human that resides deep within, Ugliness will disappear from your depths…

Little by little, without you feeling it, you will see another kind of beauty with eyes different from those on your face, a beauty seen with the eye of your soul this time.
