See above answer to @Rochellaine 😀 Part of the other reason that I found it really difficult was that Claude Frollo, who is the archdeacon of Notre Dame and the main character of the book, lusts after Esemerelda, who is only fifteen/sixteen years old. He even comes extremely close to raping her. When she consistently refuses his…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, in the book, everyone, everyone dies, with the exception of the small goat and the useless poet. Quasimodo drops a beam on Jehan Frollo’s head, pushes Claude Frollo off the roof, pours molten lead on everyone else. Esmerelda gets hanged and finally Quasimodo starves himself to death. That’s only the ending, the rest of it is w…[Read more]

@catwing It great 😀

@catwing Problem is, I’m not at all interested in that stuff. 😛

@catwing I’m sorry!  I meant to say something like “that’s great!” in the last post, but I’m having trouble typing and I guess I got mixed up.

@valtmy Thanks!  What are you working on?

@seekjustice Hm, well, I wonder if the adaptions I saw changed anything?  Because I got the impression the story was sad, but I was happy by the end.  At lea…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yep! (I have see or read neither)
@Rochellaine Cool, my mom is kind of interested in that stuff. I find hearing about it interesting. 😉
Praying you feel better too!
@valtmy Heyo!

@rochellaine

The Disney movie and the Broadway musical (the adultified version of the Disney musical). I’m not brave enough to see any of the other ones. I’ll be honest that the book horrified me.

@valtmy Hello!

@seekjustice Haha! Oh, what fun! 😀

Do you mean the French musical?

And, which movie did you see?  Because there have probably been fifteen adaptions or so.  I’ve seen two that I recall, one a silent film. 😉

@catwing Hello!  I’m attempting a little bit of research about New Testament geography and customs.

@catwing

Awesome! You’re making great progress so far!

@seekjustice @rochellaine ‘Ello! I am editing comments! Maybe only a few days until I shall get to start rewriting! Yay! Then it will be better and I can write the sequel!

@rochellaine

No, actually. I’m reading an article with dubious morality and lack of Biblical basis and making mental responses to it.

Well, I’ve read the Hunchback and seen the movie and listened to the Broadway musical (which is hugely interesting, because it has a deaf actor in it. So I find it fascinating), but I don’t particularly like it.…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hi!

Still Marie Antoinette?

I was watching an interview-ish thing with Charles Laughton today and began to wonder what a retelling of the Hunchback of Notre Dame would look like. 😉

How do you like The Hunchback?

@rochellaine

I’ve arrived!

@valtmy I’m tentatively on. 😉  I have poison ivy on one of my hands, and as a touch typist I can barely endure the achingly slow process of typing with only one hand. 😛  But I am researching now, so I’ll reply as often as possible.

@seekjustice Are you here yet?

@valtmy

Hello! I’m not around just yet, but I will be later 🙂

@Rochellaine Thanks!
It was pretty nice, but yes over time you can get used to changes.

@Seekjustice Indeed they do. *beams*

@rochellaine

Poor little thing 🙁

Yep, Mary Queen of Scots.

Goodnight!

@seekjustice Yeah, pretty awful.  I’m also feeling really bad for my little Bathshua right now, since I’m realizing everything she had to go through.

Ah, I think that was the one.  I remembered that her name was Mary, but since about 50% of all women seemed to have been named Mary back then, I didn’t think that would be such a great clue to her i…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

😛 you’d think so.

I remember once having to research the discrepancy between the verses where it talks about him hanging himself and him falling in a field and bursting open, so i had to read all that then. Not the most pleasant of subjects.

The Scottish one could have been Mary Stuart. She was married to the French dauphin when…[Read more]
