{{Q|Remember, Quasimodo...this is your sanctuary.|Claude Frollo}} | |||
Frollo's original appearance dates back to 1831 in Victor Hugo's classic novel, ''Notre-Dame de Paris'', where he is the Archdeacon of Paris and the novel's tragic villain. This incarnation of the character first appeared in the 1996 adaptation, ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', where he was changed from a tragic figure to a fully-fledged villain. In this version, he is the Minister of Justice of Paris, and apparently the ruler or Governor of the city, given that he seems to be above every law in the city outside the cathedral, and even has his own army of thugs who dress up as soldiers to enforce his will. In the film, Frollo murders [[Quasimodo]]'s mother outside Notre Dame and is forced by the Archdeacon to raise the child as atonement, an act Frollo only performs to save himself from damnation and in hopes of finding the gypsy stronghold, the Court of Miracles. | Frollo's original appearance dates back to 1831 in Victor Hugo's classic novel, ''Notre-Dame de Paris'', where he is the Archdeacon of Paris and the novel's tragic villain.
