Book Review 7: The Phantom of the Opera

1. Outlines
It is 1880, in the Opera House in Paris. It is the biggest Opera House in the world. Everybody is talking about the Phantom of the Opera, the ghost that lives somewhere under the Opera House. The Phantom is a man in black clothes. He is a body without a head, he is a head without a body. He has a yellow face, he has no nose, he has black holes for eyes. Everybody is afraid of the Phantom-the singers, the dancers, the directors, the stage workers…
But who has actually seen him?
2. Details
The name of the Phantom is Erick. He has an ugly face. There are no eyes and nose on his face. He also lives in the Opera House in Paris. People are afraid of him, because when he gets angry, there are some terrible accidents in the Opera House. One day, two men come to the Opera House as the directors. As soon as they arrive there, a letter is brought. That is from the Phantom of the Opera. Some requirements are written on the letter. First, nobody could see the plays at the box 5. Second, the directors have to pay 20,000 francs to the Phantom of the Opera. For the first time, they don’t answer to these requirements. However, the Phantom gets angry and some audiences are dead because of an accident that chandelier falls down on them. The phantom does that. The directors do as he wants, and his requirements are passed.
The other day, a young singer, Christine Daae is afraid of her music teacher the Phantom of the Opera. As he loves her, he doesn’t allow that some young man approaches to her. It is the Roal the Vicomte de Chagny who approaches to her. He is young, handsome, and rich person. He falls in love with Christine and she does either. They decided to marry and leave the Opera House because he insists on the idea.
The day that they cary out the plan, the accident happens. The Phantom knows that. He takes Christine to his house, that is down down down under the Opera House. Roal follows them with the Persian. They get in a room that is in the house. But it was the wrong room, the Phantom’s torture room. Christine swears that she would be the wife of the Phantom, and gives a kiss to him. The Phantom allows all the people to go away.
At last, Christine and Roal can get merried and live happily. But no one knows the truth.
3.Impression
I thought that the love can make people mad and can help the lives of human beings. I have read some books about love, but I insist this idea.
