How much do you know about Victor Hugo
Victor Hugo’s masterpieces
Now read the short introduction to Victor Hugo and answer the questions.
Why do you think Victor Hugo is known as the “Shakespeare of France”
What do you know about Romanticism Do some research to find out more about it.
Hugo has been called the Shakespeare of France because he was the great French romantic writer, the leader of the romantic literary movement in the 19th century, and the representative of humanism.
Romanticism:
a style in the 1800s that emphasized a free form of writing and expressed strong emotions, experiences of common people, and imaginative expressions and passion.
In 1831 Hugo published his novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. It is now considered a key work of Romanticism.
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1831) is Hugo’s first major romantic novel.With sudden change and contrast, it is a tale set in 15th-century France: Crod, the archdeacon(副主教) of Notre Dame, is a virtuous, snide man who loves before he hates the gypsy girl Esmeralda. Ugly face, kind-hearted bell ringer Quasimodo to save the girl gave his life.
The novel revealed the fake feelings of religion, praised the kindness, friendship and self-sacrifice of the lower working people, and reflected Hugo’s humanitarian thought.
《巴黎圣母院》(1831)是雨果第一部大型浪漫主义小说。它以离奇和对比手法写了一个发生在15世纪法国的故事:巴黎圣母院副主教克罗德道貌岸然、蛇蝎心肠,先爱后恨,迫害吉卜赛女郎爱斯梅拉尔达。面目丑陋、心地善良的敲钟人卡西莫多为救女郎舍身。
小说揭露了宗教的虚伪,歌颂了下层劳动人民的善良、友爱、舍己为人,反映了雨果的人道主义思想。

What does the sentence “A tear swam in the eye of Quasimodo, but did not fall” tell us about Quasimodo’s personality
In what different ways do the two reading passages in this unit raise our awareness of physical appearance and personal qualities?
On the one hand,it shows that Quasimodo is sensitive and gentle;on the other hand,it shows his strength and pride.
The first passage shows the true meaning of beauty. Though how you present yourself to others plays a part,accepting yourself and feeling confident about your physical appearance are the most important. The second passage highlights how someone’s physical appearance can actually be a complete contrast to who they are on the inside.
What difficulties might people like Quasimodo face in the real world How should people treat them
In what different ways do the two reading passages in this unit raise our awareness of physical appearance and personal qualities?
In a real world where appearances are judged, he is likely to encounter others’ coldness or discrimination. For example, if he applied for a job in a company, he would be turned down for his ugly appearance.I think people should value virtue rather than appearance when judging others.
Quasimodo’s sincerity and kindness, hidden in his ugly and misshapen appearance, move Esmeralda, who is also kind-hearted, and win her respect.

Jane Eyre
Jane Eyre, written by Chariotte Bronte and first published in 1847, tells the timeless story of the love between a poor young governess and a rich and mysterious gentleman.
After leaving the orphanage where she as spent most of her childhood, Jane Eyre goes to work as the governess of the daughter of a wealthy but troubled landowner. As she comes to know the great house and the people who live and work within it, Jane begins to uncover the secret responsible for Rochester’s temper and reticence.
They fall in love, but just when their happily ever after seems to be in sight, that secret threatens to tear them apart.
Jane Eyre looks at how people should not be underestimated because of the way they look— Jane might be small and plain, but she is also strong, courageous and independent. Although she is a woman and from a lower social class than Rochester, she wants to prove herself his equal in spirit.
