* YouAreWhatYouHate: While he knows his mother was Roma, he believes that she (and her people) was heartless and that Frollo saved him. He doesn't seem to hate Roma, though he mindlessly accepts Frollo's beliefs about them until meeting Esmeralda provides him with a new perspective. At the very end, Frollo reveals that his mother died ''protecting'' him, which [[RebuiltPedastal makes him fully rethink things]].

* AdaptationalProtagonist: Contrary to the English translation of the title, he wasn't actually the protagonist of the novel ''Literature/NotreDameDeParis''. The main characters were Pierre Gringoire (the AuthorAvatar), Esmeralda, Claude Frollo (a much more complex character than later portrayals), Phoebus Chateaupers, and the cathedral itself (which was elaborately described in a chapter halfway through the book). Quasimodo was a key character due to being Frollo's ward, but his importance only came into play at the very end. [[note]]This was also why Victor Hugo despised the title of the first English translation: it put emphasis on the wrong character and undermined the importance of the rest of the above-mentioned cast.[[/note]] The Disney movie upgrades him into the protagonist role, shifting the story accordingly to fit.



Esmeralda is a fearless and streetwise Romani girl with a heart of gold and is very capable of defending herself. She's also able to look beyond physical appearances and is one of the first—and only—people in both films to befriend the deformed yet lovable hunchback Quasimodo. Esmeralda is a wonderful heroine whose greatest wish is to see outcasts like Quasimodo and her fellow Romani be accepted into society and be treated as people, not as property.

* HeroesWantRedheads: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Madellaine started off an antagonist (not by her own choice) and was ordered by her adoptive father to trick Quasimodo. She ended falling for him and pulling a HeelFaceTurn, thereby playing this trope straight.

* TokenGoodCop: He is the [[NobleTopEnforcer decent and honourable]] captain of [[TautologicalTemplar Judge Frollo]]'s guards, who initially dutifully follows orders, despite growing discomfort with Frollo's brutal persecution of the Romani. However, when Frollo orders him to burn down a house with an innocent family inside, he flat-out refuses, and starts openly opposing his former boss.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: In the finale, even after Frollo tries to kill him, Quasimodo still goes out of his way to try and save his life when he's in danger of falling from the building. For his trouble, Frollo makes one final attempt on his life that almost sends him falling to his death were it not for the timely arrival of Phoebus.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: A mild example. Frollo raises him with the belief that all Romani are evil and untrustworthy, reinforcing it with the lies about Quasi's mother. However, he doesn't act hateful, and only brings it up when he tells Esmeralda that she isn't like [[ACreditToYourRace "the others"]] (saying it more like a "fact" a schoolkid might list than with malice), and she gently teaches him better.
