And symbolically, the Cathedral of Notre Dame is hinted to have a personality and force of will all to its own. Hugo, Victor, and Laverne are treated ambiguously throughout the whole movie, so animate gargoyles are plausibly part of the story's setting. If Quasimodo invented the gargoyles out of his loneliness and isolation, then Frollo losing his mind to the point of having similar hallucinations makes his comeuppance that much more karmic.īy another interpretation, there are reasonable thematic reasons to believe the gargoyle Frollo saw was indeed alive. This is especially because they relate to the parallel discussion of whether Hugo, Victor, and Laverne, Quasimodo's three gargoyle friends, are truly alive or merely Quasimodo's imagination. The gargoyle is alive and passing judgement on Frollo.īoth of these theories tie into the rest of the movie neatly.
