Oui, le Frollo de Hugo est très gris en effet. C'est vraiment un personnage tragique, qui montre bien comment les passions humaines les plus vitales et les plus nobles peuvent devenir si implacables et destructrices lorsqu'elles sont trop réprimées. Frollo est un personnage à vif, c'est ce qui est tellement poignant chez lui. Il est à la fois terrifiant et pathétique, et attire forcément une forme de sympathie, parce qu'on peut tous se reconnaître en lui, dans une certaine mesure, à travers sa profonde crise existentielle.
J'aime beaucoup la comédie musicale, je l'écoutais quand j'étais enfant. Une des meilleures comédies musicales françaises selon moi, et oui, c'est une belle adaptation du livre, qui respecte plutôt bien les personnages (ce qui n'a pas vraiment été le cas de beaucoup d'adaptations de Notre-Dame!). "Belle" était vraiment une réussite. "Tu vas me détruire", "Bohémienne", "Les Cloches", "Florence", "Le Temps des cathédrales" sont parmi mes préférées.

Thank you very much, I wanted to show many key elements of the book indeed, the cathedral of course, but also all the "ananke" meaning : spider, gallows, religious, demonic and alchemical symbols, and finally omnipresence of death.

You're incredible, you even noticed the salamander ! I had a great time in including all the symbols coming to my mind, but at the end I looked at my drawing and thought : "well, now that it is finished I don't see anything anymore..." But if you saw the salamander, I am reassured (even if few people looks at details as you do I'm sure).
The salamander came to my mind when I was thinking about alchemical symbols, and struck me like an evidence. But in fact it was more difficult than I thought to incorporate appropriate symbols. The vision I had at the beginning was a great spider web, deep like an abyss in its centre, and in which the symbols evolved from bright and luminous forms to deformed and ignominious presages of death. Well, the result is a little more conventional and uniform than what I imagined at first, but I think it remains interesting, so.
Anyway, thank you greatly for your comment !

Oh yes, examining little details became my little obsession - I noticed that faithful book!Frollophiles always include a lot of Easter eggs in their artwork. Have you ever focused on *Agriografo 's drawings? Her "I saw a goat beside you" is like the dirtiest picture of Esmeralda I've ever seen (clever mockery of a womanhood and sainthood!). But let's talk about your drawing... I kissed my screen during recognizing all these symbols and details from the book - believe me, I was quite excited: "Spider, cathedral...oh look! A crucifix! And the gallows!", but a salamander really got me...
Thank you again for this pleasure for my frollophilia~~

Agriografo's works are wonderful, so full of meanings indeed.
I can't help laughing imagining you discovering the symbols, I'm glad you had such a great time.
I wanted more demonic symbols, but I didn't find any (my djali is really not great), so there are just the burning crucifix and the pentacle, which is a bit limited. But I like the cathedral, the gallows and the spider. I thought it would be easier to introduce alchemical material, but I just use symbols for "gold", "mercury", "philosopher's stone" and "athanor". My raven was supposed to be the one at the gates of Notre-Dame, but it's not really convincing...
