The use of “color”, or timbre in the case of music, was heavily used to create the atmosphere of the pieces, achieved by orchestration and texture. This style was seen as a response to Romanticism, getting rid of the forward direction

For this there were two reasons. First, the piano, being an instrument of harmony and of tonal blending rather than one of simple melodic statement, was the natural medium for experimentation in a personal art built upon harmony and tone blending.

Throughout his life Frollo tells Quasimodo outright that he is “deformed” and “ugly” and that he should be “grateful” that it is Frollo alone who can still accept Quasimodo’s deformities, which in turn causes Quasimodo to live in fear of being shunned for his monstrous features.
