It's You, Masterby *Canadian-Rainwater

Scraps

"Ah! it's you, master, is it?" said Clopin. "I was there myself, by God! Well, comrade, because you bored us to death this morning, is there any reason why you shouldn't be hanged tonight?" -- 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', Victor Hugo
---

A few months ago I mentioned in passing to *Gellyh that I couldn't seem to find The Hunchback of Notre Dame (novel) in Singaporean bookstores so easily. Well the silly bint sent it to me all the way from Holland, so I guess now I have no excuse not to read it.

'Tis my impression of Hugo's Clopin who, since I lack any sort of originality whatsoever, of course looks an awful lot like Disney's Clopin, sans any sort of amiable qualities whatsoever.

I'd been warned it was going to be an unhappy read, but I wasn't prepared to laugh so hard at that line. It doesn't help that Clopin directs it at Gringoire, who I absolutely can't stand. Aaaaaaargh, he's so whiny! Just hang him already!

I absolutely love style here.

i'd live with Clopin and his Truands. from what i read on wikipedia, i imagined him "wiser" looking, like small wrinkles around his eyes and a few gray hairs. other than that, amazing! thank you so much!

I agree! I'm reading the book right now and there are times I wish Clopin would've just hanged him and had done with it. >.< But I have the same problem: trying NOT to imagine the Disney characters as the book characters. (Impossible....)

I found the book in a Singaporean library, but it's on loan. I have to wait for the person to return it. in the meantime, I'm self-teaching myself French so that hopefully in some point of my life, I'll be able to read the original.

I love this picture! He looks very in character

I agree about Gringoire, but the person I couldn't stand in the book was Esmerelda, ugh! She annoyed me.

I just read an excellent little fic that brings more of BookClopin out in MovieClopin. He's a man of many masks, and his namesake beggar facade is but one of them. I was reminded of this pic while reading it.

The one-shot I found is here: [link]

Thanks for the link, it was definitely worth the read!

~Arthaine May 5, 2011

I just love his pose, can't help but feel the urge to high-five him xD

And I hate my copy of HoND. For some reason, Clopin is called 'Zoekenhoeker'(it's Dutch, I'm not sure how you would translate it), so I didn't even know he was Clopin until I saw this D:

*Canadian-Rainwater May 8, 2011 Student Filmographer

HAH!! WHAT!?? Oh man, that cracked me up!

~Arthaine May 8, 2011

Yeah, and it also doesn't help that Zoekenhoeker/Clopin is also the beggar in the first chapter, so my mental image of him was something like the 'I'm free!/dang it' guy from the Disney movie xD
