Remarkably similar to Hindu black and white, Shiva/Kali concepts. I do have to question what Victor Hugo has to do with modern Wicca. I have read that it stems for rather too rich and discontented late Victorian thrill seekers. I can not remember all the story but Esmeralda was the good person refusing the cardinals advances.

The story

I must find and the painting "Scape goat" to add to this goat symbolism.

Esmeralda like the scape goat is a vehicle for the sins of rather naughty men, especially those hidden behind cloth.
