Who is Judge Claude Frollo?
Judge Claude Frollo is a central antagonist in Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, based on the character from Victor Hugo’s novel.
In Disney’s adaptation, Frollo is portrayed as a high-ranking justice official in 15th-century Paris, embodying a deeply flawed and dark character. Known for his intense self-righteousness and belief in moral superiority, Frollo displays a complex mixture of religious zealotry, cruelty, and lust, making him one of Disney’s most psychologically intricate villains.
In the film, Frollo initially takes in the deformed Quasimodo out of a sense of twisted duty after causing the death of Quasimodo’s mother. However, he keeps him confined in the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral, fostering an environment of control and manipulation. Frollo’s obsession with eradicating “sin” and “corruption” is hypocritical; he is tormented by his forbidden desire for the gypsy Esmeralda, whom he perceives as a test of his piety. His inability to reconcile his attraction with his strict moral code drives him into a spiral of hate and violence, ultimately leading to his downfall.
The character of Frollo is brought to life by Tony Jay, an English actor known for his rich, commanding voice, which adds to Frollo’s menacing presence.
