The point of the characters in the book is basically to show the reactions when a hot chick walks in the room:
Frollo - trying to use his position of authority to try to coerce a chick who isn't interested. Workplace sexual harassment begging to happen.
Pierre - Beta cuck faggot nice guy 'friend' that makes her pussy drier than the surface of Tatooine.
Clopin - Pimps her out for profit.
Quasimodo - Has less than zero chance of ever getting any puss, but still does shit for her. Whines like a bitch about how ugly he is for pity and sympathy, and that's all he's ever going to get for his trouble at best.
Phoebus - Shallow Chad who will obviously pump and dump her but is the only guy she's actually interested in because women are hypergamous retards easily impressed by a pretty boy in a uniform.
Disney fucks shit up with their happy ending bullcrap. Hugo just lays out the unvarnished reality. If you're any of these people you're fucked one way or another, and you get what you fucking deserve.
