Foreshadowing of Quasimodo's Arc in The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The introduction of Quasimodo is brilliant for a number of reasons. It establishes the protagonist's kind and gentle nature, which juxtaposes Frollo's cruelty and callousness. But the scene with Quasimodo encouraging the baby bird to fly not only makes the audience root for the character and presents his desire to go out into the world, but it's great foreshadowing for how he would treat Esmeralda.

When Quasimodo notices the bird's eagerness to join the flock, he gently encourages the bird to leave, saying, "Go on, nobody wants to be cooped up in here forever," before allowing the bird to leave the nest so to speak, and take flight.

Quasi emphasizes with and respects the bird's desire to leave and he decides to let it go out into the world. This moment also is a great contrast with Frollo's introduction, as the first thing we see him do is arrest a group of Romani travelers and pursue after a mother and her child under the assumption that she's harboring stolen goods. Frollo exerts control over others, while Quasimodo respects the wishes of others.

Later on in the film, when Quasimodo learns that Esmeralda is trapped in Notre Dame, he goes out of his way to help her escape because he wants to return the kindness she had given him at the Festival and because it's the right thing to do.

After they descend the cathedral, Quasi tells her "I'll never forget you, Esmeralda". This indicates that Quasi did not expect anything in return from her for helping her out and that he was willing to let her go anyway. Thankfully, Esmeralda wants to include Quasimodo in her life and she offers him both the chance to leave the cathedral (which he dismisses due to how people treated him) and a map to her hideout.

And I think that's why Quasimodo is able to get over his heartbreak with Esmeralda choosing Phoebus so well. Quasi was already shown to respect her autonomy eariler in the film. And even though he's vents his frustration about being heartbroken, he never takes it out on her and he prioritizes her safety and happiness over his own desires.

He's able to accept the situation with maturity and grace and be happy for her.
