23、 The cowardly lovePierre Grangoi was a poet who can not rely on writing poetry to feed himself inWORD 格式-专业学习资料-可编辑 -WORD 格式-可编辑-专业资料-today society.However,the poet also can not write to feed themselves in Paris twohundred years ago, so he had to stay in the kingdom of beggars crowd to survive. Unfo
24、rtunately, a poet even can not pass the beggars skill test, as a result, Pierre Grangoi was not qualified as a beggar and sent to the gallows.However scholars had known their limitations, when he was refused by the person he loved, immediately he chose to give up,because he felt ashamed. When Quasim
25、odo ordered Esmeralda, he did not have the courage to save her, yet his own life was saved relying on Esmeraldasmercy. Facing with such a woman, he did not expect anything as love if only there was a little self-esteem. So after their marriage, he would like to act as a replacement husband, and went
26、 out with Esmeralda to busk dance in the street every day. Though this kind of marriage could not get love what he want, but there was a marriage to survive at least.If Pierre Grangoi had ever loved Esmeralda, so we can only think the reason that she gave him the means to get the house and bread. On
27、 his opinion ,food、house and a nominal marriage are enough for him in life. He didn tknows about Esmeralda at all. So, there is not love at all. Claude is the direct murderer to kill Esmeralda,but the realreason of Esmeralda s death is Grangoi s weak.2.1.2 The selfish and superficial lovePhoebus was

We only see a kind of image of beautiful man that a foul soul hides under the beautiful body.2.1.3 The extreme
32、 and abnormal loveIf Phoebus was hypocrite we consider of in our life, Claude was devil of love we consider of. At the age of thirty-six, Claude Frollo was the deputy leader of the church.He grew up in church schools and accepted church education.After decades years efforts, he climbed up the powerf
