The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Response to Eric’s Questions

 

3.     What reaction did Gringoire have when Esmeralda saved his life from being hung? Would you have the same reaction?

Gringoire was surprised when Esmeralda saved his life being hung. Esmeralda said that she will  comes forward and offers to save his life by "marrying" him for four years only.

I was also surprised to because Esmeralda had to get marry to Gringoire to save his life for 4 years. They have to be marry for 4 years because Clopin throws down a pot and it breaks into four pieces so they have to be marry for 4 years.

 

4.Describe Gringoire’s financial situation and his plan to make money

Frollo reminds Gringoire that La Esmerelda saved his life and that they were technically married before she was arrested. Gringoire is still reluctant to risk his life to save her and declares that the last thing he wants is to be hanged. He then asks Claude for money and, when Claude refuses, Jehan runs off, declaring that he has decided to join the vagabonds.
