Hey all! Okay, this is definitely a sign that I'm cracking up, but please humor me. I'm finally reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame, after having seen quite a few movie versions of it. Anyway, I'm going to attempt to write a drabble for each chapter. Well, here goes nothing…
I don't own Victor Hugo or his writings.
We have been transported into the past by a man who himself is now far in the past. He speaks of what was and what "is now," though his now has fallen away, and much of the living world on which our author bases his references has long disappeared.
Still, however, the descriptions of the masses and the heckling students bring vivid images to mind. We remember when we ourselves have been in the midst of such a crowd and recall people who have acted like these students. Though the scenes have changed over the centuries, the people have not.
What do you think of the first one?
