I just thought between the Filipino novel "Noli Me Tangere" by Filipino-Chinese writer Jose Mercado (Rizal) and that of French writer Victor Hugo, these two kind of had a common idea of people bound to celibacy who has some really BAD ISSUES!
Both Padre Frollo and Padre Salvi are pretty tragic figures. They try their best to be good priests of their religion, to be good persons (but also hypocritical, miserly and both were very pale and sickly too) but the tragedy does begin with when they start to break their vows of celibacy to fall in love with that they believe are "inferior" women. Frollo had a dislike for gypsies and Salvi had a dislike for Filipinos (who he calls as Indios or inferior) but in the long run, both fall in love with races they disliked which doubled their pain aside from being celibates thus the song "Hellfire" comes in. Then it begins their madness... Frollo attempted to kill Phoebus de Chapateurs while he was kissing with Esmeralda (but Phoebus was just toying with Esmeralda) while Padre Salvi wants Crisostomo Ibarra dead so he can have Maria Clara (this was a genuine relationship).
Now for the song that best describes them...
Frollo singing Hellfire to describe his feelings. This is the Spanish version, fits Padre Salvi!
Both of them are now in the world of confusion... from Notre Dame De Paris "I'm A Priest"... or...
Both of them swore that their lust interests will destroy them...
