What is ironic about Dom Claud Frollo from the Hunchback of Notredom?

He is the antagonist and he is a mean minister who is the caretaker of Quasimodo. He has intolerance for sin and sinners, commits violence, and claims that he is doing it for God.

Explanation:

Some might call him a religious extremist. He wants to eliminate all of the magic (sorcery) from his people. He thinks he is a good person. It becomes apparent that he wants to kill Esmeralda even though he "loves" her - really it is "lust" her. Eventually, it is understood that he really just does not know how to love others. He finally is able to care for Quasimodo but he ends up with hate in his heart.

The only thing that he can be good to are the animals. He likes animals. He tries to kill Esmerelda and then blame it on Quasi.

In the end, Frollo falls to his death - way down down down and the story is symbolically sending him to hell.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.

it u understand what he thought at the time and let u know more about him then what third person would of known probably. hope this : )
