He continued this gaslighting throughout the movie / play, outright stating several times that he was her Angel of Music. I won't provide spoilers here, but more information about "Love Never Dies" can be found at: (musical).Īnswer: First of all, Eric pretended to be a guardian angel sent from her dead father to teach her to sing. Andrew Lloyd Weber wrote a sequel to " The Phantom of the Opera" called " Love Never Dies." In it, we learn that the Phantom did, indeed, remain in Christine's life. She probably always shared a connection to Erik, who possessed for her a depth of love she could never know from any other man. From the ending of the film, we learn that Christine remained wife to Raoul, but it is unclear how happily her life turned out. Christine ultimately makes the only choice society makes available to her - the safe and sane choice. He is unstable, driven to madness by a world of light he can never know. And yet, as his role turns from that of protector and teacher to one of lustful suitor, he comes to represent darkness, passion, lust, obsession, and danger. He has been to her like a guardian angel.
Then there is Erik, the Phantom, with whom Christine has had a long time bond. There is Raoul, who represents safety, light, and a sort of romantic, adolescent view of what true love should mean. Christine lives as a sheltered child-like woman in a highly patriarchal Victorian society. Here is my best attempt at a brief summary. Chosen answer: This is a very short, but very complex question about which dissertations are written.
