So, I started reading "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", which is fantastically depressing and twisted by all accounts so far. But, it also got me checking back to the Disney film and I forgot how far the lyrics in some of these songs went. I don't think I understand how jacked up Frollo was as a kid, but now that I understand these lyrics and that he's willing to let someone die just due to his own wrestling with ideas of purity/his desire for Esmeralda. It's so messed up, but so brilliant at the same time. I'm still shocked it actually was in a Disney film.
