In this poignant ninth instalment of fABLEd from lABLEd Podcast, join us on a profound exploration through the labyrinthine themes of disability, disfigurement, and their profound religious connotations as depicted in Victor Hugo's timeless masterpiece, 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame.'

Dive deep into the layers of Hugo's narrative as we dissect the societal perceptions of physical differences through the lens of Quasimodo's disfigurement, delving into the multifaceted dimensions of his character beyond the surface portrayal of deformity.

Join our insightful conversations as we unravel the intricate parallels between Quasimodo's marginalized existence and the societal ostracization faced by individuals with disabilities. Discover the symbolic representation of his journey, paralleling religious allegories that mirror the struggle for acceptance, compassion, and the quest for divine redemption.
