Throughout the novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, many forms of love appear. There is true love which comes from the heart and which is pure and on the other hand there is lustful love which is not love. Another love that is shown throughout the book is love obsession, where one falls in love with someone and puts them above everything else. In The Hunchback, we can observe these loves and how they compare to each other as well as who is better and why. Ultimately, we will be able to see that although there are many forms of love, many of them do not come from the right place and do not have the right intentions. As a result, one will suffer from expressing wrong types of love. First love is lustful love. This is where we are more attracted to the person's body than to the person themselves. Lust, according to Webster's Dictionary, can be described as a very strong sexual desire. This is how Phoebus felt when he met Esmeralda. He desires her appearance, but not her heart. He didn't really feel love but he was just cheating on her. As a result, he was stabbed, nearly died, and made Esmeralda desperately in love with him even though he didn't love her back. Another love presented in The Hunchback is a love that comes from despair and/or frustration. It's when you fall in love with someone just because they're the first person you met to escape your problems. The problem with this love is that the person expressing it doesn't really feel the love. There are so many problems in their life that they think that by loving someone they will be able to escape from their problems. That someone was Esmeralda to Claude Frollo. She was there when he was frustrated and as a result became... middle of paper... uh way and never betrayed him. He did all this even though he knew she would never love him back. This is true love. From the things written above, we can see the different forms that were taken from the book The Hunchback of Notre Dame. We can observe everything that can be said about love in the books we read. One can also learn the greatest form of love and how to express it. We learned that it is impossible to love without showing it. Of all the loves mentioned above, true love is the best and only true love. If we truly love, we will have the possibility of loving even more. Because you can never love too much. Love is something one should do every day and continue to do for the rest of their life. You have to do whatever it takes to continue to love. Because in the words of William Shakespeare: “If music be the food of love, then play."
