Quote #4
To her this little shoe was, as we have already observed, the universe. Her thoughts were wrapped up in it and never to be parted from it except by death. (VIII.V.3)
Poor Paquette la Chantefleurie. Her little anecdote is a tragedy in and of itself. There is something kind of Shakespearean about the "long-lost daughter" plotline—think The Winter's Tale—and it's actually a pretty big hint that we're going to meet this long-lost daughter (against all odds, of course) by the end of the novel. But Hugo toys with our emotions by making what should be a joyous reunion into an even more tragic ending.
Quote #5
And then, so touching was that protection afforded by a being so deformed to a being so unfortunate as the girl condemned to die and saved by Quasimodo! It was the two extreme miseries of nature and society meeting and helping each other. (VIII.VI.106)
So Quasimodo is miserable because nature has made him deformed, and Esmeralda is miserable because society has condemned her to die. Why does the narrator find it so "touching" that two miserable beings should help each other? Maybe it's because we like seeing victims rise up against their oppressors. Here, the oppressor is portrayed as misery itself, and misery seems pretty random when it chooses its victims. Who can't relate to that?
Quote #6
It seemed to him then that the church too moved, breathed, lived; that each massive column was transformed into an enormous leg, stamping the ground with its broad stone foot; and that the gigantic cathedral was a sort of prodigious elephant, puffing and walking, with pillars for legs, the two towers for trunks, and the immense sheet of black cloth for trappings. (IX.I.29)
You know that moment when you feel so guilty that is seems as if even the buildings are watching and judging you? Okay, that's a pretty extreme level of guilt, but Frollo did just condemn an innocent person to death. The chapter "A High Fever" (Book IX.I) is essentially a nightmare in which Frollo has to confront his own evil actions.
