Quote #10
"I will have you. You will not have me for a slave; you shall have me for a master. You shall be mine. I have a den to which I will drag you. You will come, you must come with me, or I will give you up! You must die, my beauty, or be mine—be the priest's, the apostate's, the murderer's! Do you understand? Come now! Kiss me, darling! The tomb or my bed!" (XI.I.64)
All right, now all those claims about love have been totally thrown to the wind. Think of this last moment between Esmeralda and Frollo as the moment when the truth gets boiled down. Frollo is all about power, control, and possession; and he's all about satisfying his own wants as opposed to anybody else's. This is where he finally becomes the quintessential evil character. Maybe before, we felt a degree of sympathy for him; after all, who hasn't experienced unrequited passion? But most of us don't set out to destroy the person who doesn't love us back. This is lust taken to its extreme.
