Claude Frollo

Judge Claude Frollo maintains order in Paris and is also the archdeacon of Notre Dame Cathedral. Frollo was born to fight sin. He hates gypsies and considers their lives a sin and a temptation for others. He is ruthless and sees no vice except in himself. He wears a dark purple robe with wide sleeves that are red on the inside and a white collar (like Dracula's). His headdress is a detail. General form: It is a hybrid of a military tricorn (like Napoleon's) and a medieval judicial chaperon. Its shape simultaneously resembles a stylized mitre—the tall headdress of Catholic priests. Color: Dark purple with black stripes. In medieval symbolism, purple is the color of mourning and repentance, but also of royal power. Combined with the black stripes, it creates a gloomy, "prison-like" image and emphasizes the character's hypocrisy. Brim: The wide brim at the front is turned up. This opens up the face, creating a stern and commanding appearance. At the back, the brim hangs down, resembling a long cape—a chaperon element. · Crown: High and slightly tapering towards the top, which visually makes Frollo taller and enhances his menacing silhouette against the backdrop of the Gothic cathedral. Decorations: Right in the center of the crown is a red tassel (ribbon). This is the only bright spot. Red draws attention to the face and resembles a drop of blood or an executioner's robe. Rings and signet rings are on the fingers. The crown itself is layered and has cheekbones and wrinkles near the nasolabial folds and under the eyes. The eyes are black and have a cold gaze. The lower layer of clothing is a robe (surcoat) dark, with narrow sleeves peeking out from under the cassock. On the legs under the cassock are tight black stockings and black menacing sharp boots. The main colors are purple, black, and a little red. He hates anything that doesn't obey, he hates gypsies and noise... He comes to the holidays because of a debt. Frollo lives in the Palace of Justice (it's both a prison for others and his home). He's very fanatical about the church and everything peasant and pro-Russian. He's from 1482.
