What do you think of the main character—the Ghost in the novel?
A Ghost or an Angle?
In the novel <The Phantom of the Opera>, there is a character who is very fascinating—Erik.
People in the Opera House are afraid of him because they think he is a ghost. He kills Joseph because he doesn’t like people taking about him. His outward appearance is horrifying. He has the face of a dead man, no nose, just two black holes in his yellow face. His eyes are black holes sometimes and have a terrible red light. He also sends a letter to the two new directors of the Opera House to ask them never sell tickets for Box 5 and pay him 20, 000 francs a month. But the directors don’t follow the words of the ghost. So Erik sends a second letter to blame the directors and ask them to let Christine sing Faust again instead of La Carlotta. At that night, he makes the chandelier goes down and La Carlotta can’t sing anymore. He is so dangerous that most people afraid him and regard him as a ghost.
He is good at singing opera. He is an angle of music. Christine becomes famous because of the guide of him. He takes her through many secret doors and passages, down, down under the Opera House. There is a big lake with black and cold waters. He takes her across the lake in a boat to his house. He just wants
Christine to love him and marry him. Christine say “For this minute, I am your wife” and put her arms around Erik’s neck and kiss him slowly and lovingly on his ugly mouth. Then Erik allows Christine run out with her lover Paoul because he just has the feeling of being loved at the first time. He just wants to be loved at all.
Finally, Erik dies and Christine marries Paoul. He dies with satisfaction.
I like this character because of his sad experience, his talent and his tolerance to Christine. He is an angle! He is an angle who just falls down from the Heaven instead of a ghost!
