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!

舞台上正进行彩排，Carlotta唱一小段，舞者上场。Mrs. Giry带着Raoul 和 new owner上台。

G: Ladies, let me introduce our new investor and new owner of the theatre to you. This is Raoul Shanny and this is Mr. Andre.

R: I’m very glad to be the new investor.

Dancers: Wow, he is so handsome.

A: I hope we can work together for the better future of our theatre.

Ch(对Meg说): Is it Raoul?

M: You know him?

Ch: We grew up together. You can say we are childhood sweetheart, but I haven’t seen him for many years. Oh, I can’t believe my eyes.

M: He is so handsome.

Mrs. Giry把Carlotta介绍给Raoul 和new owner。

G: This is the soprano of our theatre, Carlotta.

Ca(主动牵起Raoul的手): Hello, my dear investor. （其他人做厌恶状）

R: Nice to meet you. I am sorry for interrupting your rehearsal. Hope you present a wonderful performance tonight. I have something else to do. Excuse me for my leaving.

Ca（转身向Andre）Mr. Andre, have you heard my singing just now? I believe the answer is yes and it’s very very beautiful voice. Haha…Actually, no one in this theatre can sing better than me. I am the queen of the opera! Hahaha…

P: Stupid woman! There is someone who can replace you!

一声巨响，舞者们四处逃跑，躲在角落里。信封掉下，Mrs. Giry拾起，是来自phantom的信件。

G: This is the letter from the phantom. “The spotlight tonight does not belong to Carlotta. If she dare stand on the stage, she will be punished. And, welcome the new investor and new owner”…

Car: What? Punished? Who the hell is he? I won’t care anyway. Let’s continue practicing.

Scene two 地点：后台

Carlotta在化妆间练声，她叫仆人给她倒杯水，于是只剩下她一人。突然间…奇怪的声音出现，背后似乎有影子闪过…是phantom来惩罚Carlotta了。一个黑影迅速出现在她身后，她被紧紧地掐住，直到窒息而死。Carlotta最终倒在了地上，而phantom已消失不见。仆人回来，

仆人：Carlotta…（检查一下）Help! Carlotta has no breath!!!

众人围过来，确认她已死。对于凶手，议论纷纷。有人把Carlotta抬下去。Mrs. Giry神情紧张，独自在一旁。

A(慌张): Mrs. Giry, who will sing tonight! Without the soprano, what can the audience expect for?

G: …（沉思）

A: (再喊一遍)Mrs. Giry!

G: Oh, I’m sorry. I think I can find a backup for the show.

A: who?

G: We have Christine. (走向Christine) She.

A: A dancer?

G: Don’t worry. I know she has an excellent tutor, and she has beautiful voice. Ch: Sorry, Mrs. Giry, I don’t think I can.

G: Of course you can. You have practiced a lot.

Scene three 地点：舞台转后台

Christine最终成为了首演的主唱，她的天籁之音征服了现场的观众。演出结束后她接受了众人的祝贺。

M(走向Christine): Christine, you are so amazing. I wonder who your tutor is. Ch: I don’t even know his name. But my father has mentioned him. Before my father died, he said that he would send me the angel of music. It’s him. Can you hear that?

M: Christine you must have been dreaming, things like this can not happen. Ch: It’s true. The angel of music teaches me in this way. (音乐响起)

M: Christine, I think you are tired now. Have a rest. I have to prepare for the next show. See you.

Christine在后台走来走去，Raoul手持玫瑰搜寻着她

R: Can it be Christine?(上前) Christine?

Ch: Raoul?

R: You sing like an angel tonight.

Ch: Thank you, I am so happy to see you again.

R: You are as beautiful as before.

两人跳起舞,深情对望

R: Hey, let’s have dinner together. You must get changed. I will wait for you on the carriage.

Raoul离开，Christine准备换装之际，phantom的呼唤出现，音乐响起。Christine试图寻找。

Ch: Where in the world you have been hiding? I hope you can speak to me. P: I am by your side. You can sense me if you concentrate on your mind. Ch: Are you here? Really? Angel, I can’t find you! Can you give me a hint? P: Come here, to the door, I am here. Come, come…

Phantom 像施魔法一样，将Christine引到门前，然后伸出手，让她情不自禁地投入自己的怀抱。

Scene four 地点：密室

带着面具的Phantom 把Christine从门后带出，慢慢引到密室。

Ch: Angel, where are you leading me?

P: Come…Come…

Ch: Where am I?

P: You are in my arm. Come with me to the wonderland.

随着音乐，他们两个跳起了舞蹈，Christine意识渐渐模糊了，此时，她已经在phantom的控制之下。

P: Sing, my angel of music

Ch：Is there the phantom of opera? Ah~~

P: Our strange duet….my power has grown stronger and stronger…

Ch: Ah~~~

P: Sing for me!

随着音乐声结束，Christine瘫在地上，晕在phantom的怀抱里。

Scene five 地点：房间

Raoul进门之后发现Christine不见了，急忙四处寻找。期间撞见了Mrs. Giry, 急切询问。

R: Mrs. Giry. Have you seen Christine? I can’t find her. She was in this room just now.

G: (不说话，犹豫)

R: Mrs. Giry…

G: She must be with him.

R: What? Who?

G: Sorry. I should not have told you this.(要离开)

R:（抓住她问）No, Mrs. Giry. I love Christine. I must know what happened to her. And you know something. You should tell me. Please.

夫人犹豫了一下，并四周望了望，拉着Raoul到房间的一个角落，一同坐下，

慢慢地讲述了真相。在另外一个角落同时进行着表演。

G: In this opera house lives a phantom. He is a musical genius. I know him since I was young. When I first saw him, he was beaten hardily by a man in a cage, only because he was born ugly. The crowd watched him under suffering and laughed. However, I felt sympathetic for him and when no one was there, I let him out. Since then, he has lived in a secret room which he built by himself. R: Where is the room?

G: Sorry, I have no idea. And you know why I picked up Christine to be the soprano? It’s the phantom’s order.

R: So the death of Carlotta is …

G: You’re right. It’s the phantom’s punishment. (四周望，紧张)Sorry, I have to go now. I have told you too much.

R: Mrs. Giry…

Raoul在原地沉思了一会儿，断然拔出身上佩戴着的剑，冲出房间。

Scene six 地点：密室

Christine从昏迷中醒来，发现周围的一切很陌生。她慢慢地起身，看到有一个人坐在暗室的一端，于是慢慢向他靠近。

Ch: Where am I? I remember I have met the angel of music. And I have danced with him. (转头看到phantom) He’s there!

P: Christine.

Ch: (慢慢靠近). Who is the face under the mask? (抚摸他的脸) Oh, my angel of music.

P: (无防备地) My Christine…

出于好奇，Christine突然间揭开了phantom的面具，丑恶之脸随即露出，phantom暴怒之下把Christine大力地推到地上，面具也掉在了地上

P: Damn you! You little prying Pandora! Is this what you wanted to see? Curse you!

Ch: (恐惧地望着发狂的phantom，说不出话)

P: You know how much I love you! Now you cannot ever be free! You must stay with me forever.

Ch: No…

远远地传来对Christine的呼唤声，Christine连忙站起呼应, Raoul来救她了。正当她要冲出去的时候，phantom抓住了她。Raoul 持剑冲入。

Ch:（不断挣扎）let me go…let me go…

R: You poor and cruel monster. I would never allow you to hurt her!

P: Who are you? (轻蔑地) Christine is in love with me.

R: But I don’t think so. Free her! (把剑示战)

Phantom放开了Christine, 冲向Raoul, 在音乐声中激烈开战。可是，Raoul 最终还是受伤倒下了，Phantom正要拿剑刺向Raoul的时候， Christine冲出保护，阻止了他的恶行。

Ch: No!! I love him! Even if you kill him, I would never be with you!

P: Is he more important than me? Then what about your show? What about your success? I have done so much for you, but he has done nothing.

Ch:(气愤地接过话，慢慢接近phantom) Really, you have done so much for me, including cheating me. You are not the angel of music. You are the angel of hell! Phantom手松动，剑也掉到地上，向后退了几步，开始醒悟。

Ch: Your ugly face can not scare me now. It’s your cruel soul that drives me away.

Phantom从哭泣中缓过来，慢慢转身背对Christine，最终释怀

P: (不舍地，悲痛的) Go, Go~~Forget me! Forget about everything. (离场)

Christine回头，两人互相呼唤。C跑到R身边，慢慢地扶他起来，站起来后依偎在一起。音乐响起，退场。

The End
