Quote #7
Justice in those days cared little about propriety and accuracy in a criminal process; provided that the accused was hung, it was perfectly satisfied. (VIII.VI.2)
Well, that pretty much says it all, doesn't it? But you might ask why Hugo is so intent on showing us this ugly side of justice. Could he be saying that society tends to see a guilty verdict as justice? There's also that suspiciously conspicuous phrase "in those days." Do you think the narrator means it, or is he being sarcastic and saying that justice hasn't changed much since the Middle Ages?
Quote #8
He stared down the human justice from which he had snatched its victim, those judges, those executioners, all that force of the King's, which he, the meanest of the mean, had foiled with the force of God! (XIII.VI.105)
Aha. So there's a justice that exists outside of the legal justice system, which, as we've seen, isn't actually so much about justice. We've got the imagery of elevation here (Quasimodo is looking down on the judges, executioners, and King's forces), as well as the assertion that Quasimodo's action is the "force of God." So this passage seems to be saying something about how this force of God is something higher that overrides the legal justice. We should also consider that Esmeralda is brought into the cathedral at this point, which is a symbol of the divine. Quasimodo seems to be operating from a higher level of justice than the justice system itself is.
Quote #9
All around him was stone: before his eyes, gaping monsters; under him, at the bottom of the gulf, the pavement; over his head, Quasimodo weeping. (XI.II.24)
There is something pretty Biblical about this scene. Frollo seems to be falling into hell: the "abyss" below him is mentioned multiple times, there are demons all around, and Quasimodo provides a nice divine judge—maybe even a Christ-figure—standing above and weeping as Frollo pays for all of his sins. So justice does come to Frollo, we guess—but it comes to him from outside of the legal system.
