Victor Hugo was one of the most distinguished French writers of the eighteenth century. He was famous as one of the young writers who called themselves Romantic writers. Throughout his life, Hugo was an opponent of the death penalty. He expressed this position in his novel, Notre-Dame de Paris, or The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He explained his stance and concept against the death penalty in this novel, in a brilliant and elegant style that bears the hallmarks of Romantic writers. The central female character in this novel, Esmeralda, is a source of sympathy due to her miserable life circumstances. She is falsely accused of murder, using magic and seduction. Her execution culminates in a horrific execution that deeply shakes Quasimodo, the hunchback who is the central character in this novel. Hugo skillfully presents the events, captivating the reader, stirring his passion, emotions, and pity for the unfortunate man, the Hunchback of Notre Dame (Quasimod), who loved Esmeralda so much that he died beside her after her execution.
