Quasimodo (Shall we have a plot summary?)

[Terrance]

"'Tis because I am breaking a vow. I shall not find my parents! The
amulet will lose its virtue. But what matters it? What need have I of
father or mother now?"

	--Esmeralda, Notre-Dame de Paris

Shall we have a plot summary?

Notre Dame de Paris was published by Hugo in 1831 and is one of his many
historical  novels, set in fifteenth century Paris. The archdeacon of
Notre Dame, a certain Claude Frollo, falls in lust with Esmerelda - a
gypsy dancer -
who is much admired by the crowds of the city. At his instruction,
Quasimodo, the
grotesque hunchbacked bell-ringer of Notre Dame who he has befriended,
kidnaps
her. Her rescue is brought about by Phoebus de Chateaupers (Captain of
the Royal
Archers) and she falls mistakenly in love with his bravery when he is in
reality
something of a rogue and a braggart. Frollo follows Esmerelda to a
meeting with
Phoebus who he stabs before her leaving her to be sentenced to death for
the murder.
Quasimodo has become her effective slave due to a single act of kindness
and takes her
to sanctuary in the cathedral. Adventures follow including a band of
gypsies attempt to save Esmerelda from the cathedral, the disguised
Frollo's persuasion of
the girl to leave with him and the brief return of Esmerelda to her
mother. The sad
finale involves the Archers' fierce  arrest of Esmerelda, her hanging
and Quasimodo's
wretched misery at the loss of the  girl. There is some retribution for
Frollo however, and the story, though not always  following history very
closely, presents a vivid picture of medieval Paris.

But the parodic parallels are in the details. 

For example, Esmeralda's estrangement, her brief return to her Mother,
the amulet. And, of course, in the cathedral, which is a book. 

This ain't the Hunchback of Notre Dame? 

Next, the spider's web in the rose window. 

PS This might all add up to a treat or a trick under the rose.
