This viewpoint can clearly be seen in some of the heartbreaking events in the novel that come from wrongful convictions. Overall, the tragic end falls in line with the Gothic tradition.
The novel is set in 15th-century Paris and powerfully evokes medieval life in the city during the reign of Louis XI.
