The Hunchback of Notre-Dame: resumen de Book 2, Chapter 5
Book 2, Chapter 5 de 60 · 4 min para leer el chapter
In Chapter 5, Gringoire wakes bruised in a cold gutter, recalls the gypsy’s struggle, and escapes when children drop a mattress on him to burn it. Their frightened mistake becomes an account of a miracle, with the mattress preserved in a church and connected to the Virgin’s supposed power.
Qué sucede
- Gringoire regains his senses on the pavement but feels too bruised and dazed to stand.
- Thinking about alchemy brings Claude Frollo to mind, and Gringoire speculates about the struggle involving the gypsy and Quasimodo.
- Children arrive with the dead Eustache Moubon’s mattress, throw it onto Gringoire, and prepare to burn it.
- Gringoire forces himself upright, throws the mattress at the children, and runs; they flee, believing he is the merchant’s ghost.
- The narrator reports that the mattress enters a church treasury as evidence of a miracle attributed to the Virgin’s statue.
