** In a more straightforward regard, its depiction of institutional misogyny holds up very well- Frollo's EntitledToHaveYou attitude is always portrayed as unequivocally wrong and not once does the story play into Victim Blaming tropes. Corrupt authority figures using their position of power to harass women is a problem just as prevalent in the 2020s as it was in the 1480s.

* {{Narm}}: The subplot about Esemerelda's mother is melodrama at its very worst; it's simply bad things happening to the poor woman over and over until she dies, being little more than a ShaggyDogStory we're meant to treat with the utmost reverence. It's not just because of the racism this subplot has been excised from virtually every adaptation- it also just isn't particularly good or interesting.

* MoralEventHorizon: Frollo firmly crosses it when he hand Esmeralda over to hang on false charges after she rejects him for the final time. Quasimodo turns on him for this and sends him to his death.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The gargoyles were by far the most unanimous criticism of the original film, as they served no purpose to the plot outside of comic relief that felt very out-of-place in the otherwise dark story. The fact that were proven to be alive in the climax was also criticized for being the only supernatural element of the plot. The stage adaptation keeps them, but makes it clear that their conversations are only in Quasimodo's head, and does away with the comic relief by instead having them voice the thoughts that Quasimodo won't say aloud.
