  Quasimodo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quasimodo is the protagonist of the 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Notre Dame de Paris in French) by French author Victor Hugo.
Born with extreme physical deformities, including his infamous hump, Quasimodo was found abandoned on the doorsteps of Notre Dame on a Quasimodo Sunday (after which he was named) by the archdeacon Claude Frollo, who adopted the baby and brought him up to be the bell-ringer of the cathedral.
Looked upon by the general populace of Paris as a monster, Quasimodo later fell in love with the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda and attempted to rescue her when she was entangled in a murder.

 The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quasimodo attempts to kidnap Esmeralda (at the request of the Archdeacon Frollo, who is infatuated with her), but his attempt is foiled by Phoebus, captain of the King's Archers, whom Esmeralda instantly admires.
Quasimodo's life within the confines of the cathedral and his only two outlets - ringing the bells (which eventually deafens him) and his love for Frollo - are described.
Quasimodo, overcome by grief, entombs himself with Esmeralda, and that is where his skeleton is found.

 Salvatore Quasimodo - Biography
Salvatore Quasimodo (1901-1968) was born of Sicilian parents in Syracuse.
During the 1930's Quasimodo was a leader of the "Hermetic" school of poetry; however, with the appearance of his translations Lirici Greci (Greek Lyrics), 1940, it was obvious that his direction was no longer entirely along the lines of that group.
Quasimodo's later works show this change from individualism toward sociality, and moreover affirm the positive characteristics of life even in a world where death is an omnipresent fear.
