Esmeralda of Notre-Dame: The Gypsy in Medieval View from Hugo to Disney
On the Feast of Fools, 1482, at the Palais de Justice, in Victor Hugo’s Notre-Dame de Paris (1831), the eye of Pierre Gringoire is fixed upon La Esmeralda, whose dancing has captured the restive audience for his mystery play, The Right Judgement of the Virgin Mary. The vision of the dancer closes a prefigurative cycle of supernatural femininities from sainted Virgin to gypsy girl. Later, in a gypsy ritual overseen by Clopin at the Court of Miracles—the countersphere where the gypsies are enumerated as a violent tribe—Esmeralda saves Gringoire’s life by marrying him. But she has also attracted the vengeful lust of Frollo, a witch-hunting priest and alchemist, who directs his servant Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bellringer, to abduct her. Phoebus, the knight, rescues her, and Quasimodo is severely punished on the pillory. During an assignation with Esmeralda, Phoebus is stabbed by Frollo and Esmeralda is arrested, tortured, and wrongly convicted for murder and witchcraft. Quasimodo rescues her from the gallows and takes her to asylum in the cathedral of Notre-Dame, but Frollo pursues her again until she is hanged. The story concludes with Quasimodo’s disappearance from Notre-Dame and the discovery long after of two skeletons in an embrace, in the vault where Esmeralda’s corpse was laid.

“Truly … it’s a salamander, a nymph, a goddess, a bacchante from Mount Menelaus!” At that moment, one of the “salamander’s” plaits of hair came down and a yellow copper coin … rolled to the ground. “Ha! No it’s not,” he said, “it’s a gypsy girl!” All illusion had vanished.

Caraval [ ]
She is mentioned when Annalise Dragna tells Scarlett and Tella the story of how Legend gained his powers. A young Legend sought her out because he knew she had studied enchantments. Esmeralda asked him what he wanted most. Legend replied that he "wished to lead the greatest troupe of players the world had ever seen, so that he could win his true love." [1] Esmeralda warned him that he couldn't have both things, and must pick only one. Because of his pride, Legend didn't believe her. He believed that if he were famous it would allow him to marry his love, Annalise. He told Esmeralda that he wanted his performances to be legendary and magical.
Esmeralda immediately began to use magic to transform Legend. His transformation was fueled by his true desires. She told him his performances would be transcendent, mixing fantasy with reality in a way never seen before. But she also warned him that wishes come with costs, and the more he performed, the more he would transform into whatever roles he played. If he acted the part of the villain, he'd become one in truth.
Finale [ ]
Legend goes to Esmeralda to ask for her powers to destroy the Fates. He takes her powers and then betrays her.
Esmeralda
Esmeralda is a witch who becomes the Stephenses' housekeeper in 1969. Endora suggests to Samantha that she should have a witch as a housekeeper to make things easier during her second pregnancy.
Esmeralda's powers are faulty due to nervousness and anxiety so she often accidentally causes trouble with her magic. For example, when she sneezes she usually manifests something unexpectedly. When she gets anxious she also fades and becomes invisible. This is usually because Darrin makes her nervous.
Esmeralda often takes care of Tabitha and Adam, especially when Samantha and Darrin go to Salem in 1970 and Europe in 1971. Darrin's mother, Phyllis, thinks she is a wonderful maid.

1. Jessica - 2/5 - As a fan of magic-themed events, I was really excited to attend the carnival. However, I was left disappointed and underwhelmed. The magic acts were lackluster and poorly executed, with sloppy tricks and unenthusiastic performances. The atmosphere was also dampened by the lack of effort put into the decor and overall theme. It felt like a half-hearted attempt to capture the magic of a true carnival. I left feeling like I wasted my time and money.
2. Matthew - 1/5 - This magic-themed carnival was nothing short of a disappointment. The performers seemed disinterested and unprepared, ruining any excitement that could have been generated. The lack of variety in the acts made the whole event feel monotonous and boring. Additionally, the organization and logistics of the carnival were a mess, with long lines and disorganized staff. It was a huge letdown, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an enchanting experience.
