* HilariousInHindsight: Early in the novel, Michael can't get Angel to marry him and leave the brothel and can't get her out of his head either: "He worked until past dark every day and then sat before the fire, tormented with thoughts of her. He saw her face in the flames, beckoning to him. To hell itself, no doubt." Disney's ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', released a couple of years later than this novel, has Frollo's VillainLoveSong about how he is a [[KnightTemplar virtuous, righteous man]] tormented by his obsession with a woman; he sees her face in the flames and says his burning desire is turning him to sin.

* DesignatedHero: Michael marries Angel when she's barely conscious and drags her back when she escapes from him. Don't think too hard about how this is, in fact, abuse and kidnapping.

Nah—her mother prays the rosary but otherwise doesn't fit that description (and is portrayed sympathetically by the narrative) and her grandmother is sympathetic for Mae's plight. it's only her grandfather who's stern and unforgiving, and that's not indicated as because he's Catholic.
