# Jehan Frollo du Moulin — Notre-Dame de Paris character guide > Jehan Frollo du Moulin in Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo. **Role:** supporting **Also known as:** Jehan Frollo, Little Jehan Frollo, Jehan du Moulin, Master Jehan **First appearance:** 0021-i-good-souls ## Snapshot Claude Frollo's spoiled younger brother, a rosy, curly-haired student whose mischief is the one soft spot in the archdeacon's heart. ## Who they are Orphaned as an infant, Jehan was raised by Claude with a mother's anxious devotion, and the archdeacon's whole future was once staked on the boy's happiness. That tenderness curdled into indulgence: the pretty child grew into a dissolute student and troublemaker who trades on his brother's name. He matters because he is the human crack in Frollo's austerity, the proof that the archdeacon's heart was capable of love before obsession claimed it. ## In the story ### [Book I](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/book-i) A student and brother of Claude Frollo, who is present in the crowd and participates in the election of the Pope of Fools. ### [The Grand Hall](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/i-the-grand-hall) A student clinging to a pillar, he leads the mockery of the rector and other university officials. ### [III: Monsieur the Cardinal](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/iii-monsieur-the-cardinal) Joannes Frollo de Molendin, brother of the archdeacon, sings irreverently at the cardinal. ### [Master Jacques Coppenole](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/iv-master-jacques-coppenole) A scholar among the crowd who vocally opposes restarting the mystery play. ### [V: Quasimodo](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/v-quasimodo) Observed atop a pillar during the orgy, shouting with incredible fury; he comments on Quasimodo's deafness and appearance. ### [Book IV](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/book-iv) Mentioned as Claude Frollo's younger brother, whose care contributed to Frollo's responsibilities. ### [Claude Frollo](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/ii-claude-frollo) Claude's younger brother, whom he raises with deep affection after their parents' death. ### [More About Claude Frollo](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/v-more-about-claude-frollo) Claude's younger brother, now a disorderly and debauched student at Torchi, causing Claude grief with his laziness and escapades. ### [I: An Impartial Glance at the Ancient Magistracy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/i-an-impartial-glance-at-the-ancient-magistracy) Present at the trial, laughing with Robin Poussepain at Quasimodo's predicament. ### [IV: Ἀνάγκη](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/iv) Visits his brother Claude to beg for money, hides in the cell, and observes Claude's obsessive behavior. ### [The Two Men Clothed in Black](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/v-the-two-men-clothed-in-black) Hidden under the furnace, he observes the conversation, eats a stale crust and cheese, and is nearly discovered but escapes notice when Frollo claims the noise is from a cat. ### [The Effect Which Seven Oaths in the Open Air Can Produce](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/vi-the-effect-which-seven-oaths-in-the-open-air-can-produce) Steals his brother's purse and gleefully descends from the cell, then meets Captain Phoebus and proposes a drinking outing. ### [VII: The Mysterious Monk](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/vii-the-mysterious-monk) Drunk and rambling, he is left by Phoebus to sleep on a rubbish-heap near the Rue Saint-André-des-Arcs. ### [The Crown Changed Into a Dry Leaf](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/i-the-crown-changed-into-a-dry-leaf) Jehan briefly appears as a young man leaving the courthouse, mentioning his brother the archdeacon. ### [The Key to the Red Door](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/v-the-key-to-the-red-door) Attempts to visit Claude but is refused entry. ### [II: Turn Vagabond](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/notre_dame_de_paris_se/chapters/ii-turn-vagabond) Jehan visits his brother pretending to be contrite and asking for money to reform, but when refused, he threatens to become a vagabond.
