This is a film version of Victor Hugo's classic novel about a man ridiculed as a freak, who becomes a hero by showing humanity and courage.
The movie begins with the statement: "With the end of the 15th century the Middle Ages came to a close. Europe began to see great changes. France, ravaged by a hundred years of war, at last found peace. The people under Louis XI felt free to hope again -- to dream of progress, but superstition and prejudice often stood in the way seeking to crush the adventurous spirit of man."
The Hunchback of Notre Dame introduces one of the great stories of Western literature. The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to this film will help teachers and parents use the movie as a platform to discuss European history, to explore our feelings toward the disabled and those who are different, and to talk about the oppression of minority peoples, in this case, the Gypsies.

Learning Guide Excerpt
To demonstrate how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers to improve lesson plans, we have set out below a paragraph from the Learning Guide to The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
In the late Middle Ages there was frequent war as the modern secular nation state began to emerge and struggled with the local aristocracy and the Church for supremacy. The plague struck in the 1340s and ravaged Europe, destroying whole cities and killing about one third of the population. The Middle Ages ended with the Renaissance, which began in the 14th century. A printing press with movable type was first used in Europe during the middle of the 15th century. The Gutenberg Bible was printed in 1455. Within 50 years, some six thousand separate works had been printed. The printing press gave common people access to the Bible and led to the mass literacy that made the Protestant Reformation possible.
The Learning Guide to the film The Hunchback of Notre Dame contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
