History WMG / TheHunchbackOfNotreDame

Even if he did win, the King when he returns, will find out about all his countless crimes, including genocide, mass murder, and burning ''his own capital'' to the ground. In absolute fury he will have him executed, and Frollo, as the Minister of Justice knows full well the consequences of his crimes (the Hellfire sequence shows he's completely self-aware of this). This is why he's so desperate to have Esmeralda; it is his only chance of experiencing pleasure in his life before his inevitable demise. Trying to kill Esmeralda can even be a case of SeeYouInHell; [[IfICantHaveYou if he can't have her in this world, he will have her in the next]].

[[WMG: Quasimodo is Frollo's son.]]

This explains why Frollo has an obsession with Esmeralda, as she looks so similar to the other gypsy woman he loved. Along with that, it explains why Quasi doesn't have the distinctive gypsy look, and instead is more fair skinned with red hair.

[[WMG: Frollo likes a forceful woman.]]

* It's the [[CirclesOfHell Circle Of Hell]] for treason, which is considered the [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil worst kind of sin,]] and Frollo commits several acts that would count as treasonous (burning down half of Paris, mistreating Quasimodo despite swearing an oath to protect and raise him, flagrantly violating the SeekingSancutuary rule in the Cathedral). Although he at least [[EvilIsDeathlyCold won't have to worry about HellFIRE there.]]

Unless otherwise noted, these Wild Mass Guesses refer to [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame the Disney film]].

* Frollo is animated as an old man. He appears to be in his 60s, maybe even 70s. But in reality, he's quite a bit younger, probably only in his thirties or forties, ''maybe'' fifties. He is quite active in the movie for an older man. He does a lot of hard horseback riding, is evidently a powerful and capable swordsman, and in the climax does quite a bit of running about without seeming to get winded at all. Also, it seems quite unbelievable that a man in his sixth or so decade of life would have never experienced intense lust before--and would be so disturbed and discomfited by the emotion that it drives him to do everything Frollo does in the movie. It would be a bit more believable, though still a bit of a stretch, if he was, say thirty-five. Finally, in the final battle at the end, when he tosses the archdeacon aside he refers to him as an 'old fool.' It's hardly impossible for one old man to call another an 'old fool,' but it would make even more sense if he said that because the archdeacon ''was'' old, and he was not. He appears old to us because he is Quasimodo's master, in a clear position of authority over him, so Quasi (who is of course, even younger, twenty or so) perceives him as a stern old man, even though really, he isn't.

[[WMG: The Notre Dame fire damage of April 15 2019 never happened in this universe.]]

assuming the gargoyles are figments of his imagination, then Hugo being interested in a male goat may give insight into Quasi's view on guys being into guys, e.g., he considers it normal, considering the time period, and who he was raised by, this is kinda odd, but seeing as Frollo seems to be heterosexual, he may not have touched on same sex relationships, leaving Quasimodo to come to his own conclusion based on his own (albeit limited) experiences

[[WMG: Quasi's Gargoyle friends are still alive in the present day and caused the Notre Dame fire ]]

[[WMG: Frollo suspects and fears magic because of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''.]]

* For bonus points, if this goes on long enough, France would probably end up split apart into several mini-countries ruled by noblemen-turned-Kings. This could be where the early-19th-century ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'', with its apparently-French small kingdom, comes in.

Also, remember the scene where he burns down that one house? Notice that the moment he puts his torch the house it instantly burns up. Is this really a result of extreme flammability, or his he actually using flames from hell to burn it.

However, the biggest moment to support this is during the climax, which appears to take place in hell itself. As Frollo attempts to lay the final blow against Esmeralda, his eyes appear to turn yellow and says “he shall plunge the wicked into the fiery pit” a line that could either referrer to god, or the devil itself. However, as the cathedral breaks, he grabs on to a gargoyle. At that moment, the gargoyle springs to life, taking on a demon like face, and breaking to drop him into the pit of fire. It seems like that gargoyle could have actually been the face of the devil, which personally killed Frollo, perhaps as punishment for failing to kill Esmeralda and the rest.
