2. Allusion #32: Quasimodo
This is the main character is Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. he lives in the bell tower and falls in love with the beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda. When we use this allusion today, we are often referring to someone who has been rejected due to his or her looks, or by someone we see as being more attractive than the pursuer.
Ex: I asked the captain of the cheerleading squad to prom, but she shot me down like I'm some kind of Quasimodo.
