What do Catholics think of Frollo from "Hunchback of Notre Dame" story?

What do Catholics think of Frollo from "Hunchback of Notre Dame" story?
Just mildly curious?

Though his depictions in movies has changed alot. But i think most knows it from the Disney version

But originally in the novel he starts of as a good Archdeacon who takes care of a orphan, which has Kyphosis disease. But then he slowly becomes evil when he gets hots for Gypsy girl.
In Disney he is a judge and not an Archdeacon, though both of them claims he is a righteous man of God. But he was always a villain at start in Disney depiction of him however his feelings towards Esmeralda is same cause of evil as the novel

Phoebus is probably one who got the most change in Disney version.
In the novel, Esmeralda the gypsy woman have crush on him. But he just wants her for one night, he is engaged to another woman but Frollo in his jealousy stabs him. He lives, gets married but essentially it is likely his marriage isnt a happy one. In Disney version he is a loyal friend of Hunchback and helps Esmeralda out and essentially its the one he ends up with.

I dont quite remember the ending of the novel though.

Overall, always wondered what Catholics think of the story.

Catholics probably try very much not to think about the book and avoid it at all costs considering that the Vatican forbade the book and its author, Victor Hugo, and placed it on Index Librorum Prohibitorum.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

As a former Catholic, I can't say I ever gave it much thought and probably won't in the future.

I went to Catholic schools and don't recall that on the curriculum.
