Djali
One of the most memorable characters in the book is the loyal goat Djali. This is one of literature's all time great animal figures and part of the reason may be that as a symbol, Djali transcends everything. Generally, a goat symbolizes stubborness, but when viewed from a different perspective, what seems like hardheadedness may just actually be a manifestation of loyalty and commitment. Djali could symbolize fate as well since Gringoire seems to recognize the inevitabilty of his winding up with the goat rather than Emeralda. One thing to keep in mind when trying to decide exactly what Hugo was trying to say with his memorable goat: in a tale defined by exceeding misery, Djali never seems to be particularly troubled. Surely the fact the only happy inhabitant of the novel is an an animal says something.

this makes me wonder if Hugo knew the make over, the maiming of cernunnos to baphomet was underway ... He was the influence [transporter / transposer / importer / conveyor / adapter of the Samudra Mathan elixir scene - fresh dust!!!} which the church buried, perhaps while jesus was still alive, in Rome's Guantanamo, Fort Chester, if we can believe Ralph Ellis, but he's dumb on climate, so count all your fingers and toes regularly there.

Victor Hugo's Bold, Insightful Digression About The Unexpected Effects of Technological Change From His Novel Notre Dame de Paris Notre Dame Cathedral was in a decrepit state in the early 19th…
well, not exactly ... all who read 'Forest Rites' about the 1830s multiple year long rebellion [women's clothing used as 'camouflage'] must be at least most of the way to understanding that the edifice took tree limbs .. but books and prolly more so, the bullets that sneak up in their slipstream [and vice versa] took the whole tree ... exactly what the mountainfolk rebelled over, too stupid to organize the end of urbanism.
