Transmigrated as the Male Lead's Younger Sister [The Phantom of the Opera]

The Phantom has always been in my heart. He is an astonishing presence in any era - he is proficient in ventriloquism, can do magic, and is a skilled craftsman; he is a master architect, and the underground labyrinths and secret passages of the Paris Opera House are enough to make any technician fall in love with him; he is also proficient in music, and his singing can even weave a dream to make the heroine Christina fascinated by him. His composition talent is comparable to Mozart. What's even more amazing is that he came from a humble background and has never received professional training; even if the entire country devotes all its resources to cultivating famous teachers, there is still no nobleman who can master all skills. Initially, he studied to make a living; it was because his face was subject to the most vicious curse, which wanted to bury his human dignity forever. God gave him an indomitable spirit and talent that could defy the world, but it directly eliminated the possibility of him shining. He is a jewel covered in dust, his talent and suffering are born together, and his fate is a tragedy full of contradictions. I think that when he met Christina, she was by no means his salvation. If he ever received any kindness from the world, it was Mrs. Geary who extended a helping hand to him. But Eric is a proud man, and Mrs. Giry is just an usher at the opera house, which is too mediocre; music is Eric's muse, and he would rather hibernate in the underground labyrinth, accompanying opera and art, than sell any of his talents to be favored in front of the nobles, and obtain the most dazzling fame and fortune of that era; he is his own king, and he does not disdain to kowtow to the so-called nobles, so he is not afraid of the power of the Raoul family. Besides, his other skills are all for making a living, and only music can free him from the trouble of communicating with others - the curse on his face prevents him from looking directly into people's eyes; in music, he is lonely. This kind of loneliness is not the loneliness of being incompatible with the world and the same kind, and being ostracized by others, but the loneliness of being drunk by others and being alone in the world. I believe that he enjoyed this kind of loneliness, otherwise he would not have stayed underground in the Opera House for more than ten years; until he met Christina, he disguised himself as her musical angel, approached her in the name of Old Daye, taught her, and finally fell. How should I describe the relationship between the two? The missing "father" role, Eric's care and guidance like a teacher and a father, should correspond to a certain theory (I'm talking nonsense). Eric met a beautiful student with singing talent. This student respected him like a god, which satisfied his long-term distorted psychological satisfaction, so he could not bear anyone taking away his godson (thinking about it, it may be the influence of Western Christian teachings. Does Eric believe in God? I don't think so. If there is a God, then he is like the suffering Christ, and he himself is a god). Eric and Christina initially had a relationship like a godfather and a godson. He taught her music and helped her get on the stage to enjoy fame and success; after that performance, he took her to his kingdom, the underground palace. Here, Eric believed that Christina had reached the height he expected and had converted to him, so he brought her here in the hope of monopolizing this beauty. I think the interpretation of Jinjiang's author @cucumber is spot on. He regards her as a "mask". Christina's successful performance symbolizes that his musical talent has been recognized by the world. Look, he is so contradictory. He avoids the world and doesn't want the world to know about Eric. He only dares to tease everyone in the secret passage of the opera house with the legend of "Phantom of the Opera"; at the same time, he hopes that his talent will be known to the world, so he chooses Christina as his beautiful mask to cover up his unknown ugly face. I guess he brought Christina back to the underground palace to possess the mask and let her shine on the stage for him. There is Eric's conflict in his own identity. He is Eric, but he is also "Christina", a much-sought-after new singing star. Christina did not do anything to redeem his sins and pain. The only thing that moved him was that she took the initiative to find her "father" as her "godson" and recognized him as her "angel of music". He then made a plan to become famous in front of the world. Of course, with Raoul's interference, Eric's plan had to speed up in order to win the confrontation with Raoul. Eric and Christina's "love" is a tragedy, and I don't even want to admit that there is love in it. Christina believed it, but she didn't accept it, so she begged Eric to help her and Raoul. Only love can let go and be fulfilled, and faith cannot be betrayed. Eric regards himself as Christina's godfather, and he will never be able to fulfill her and peel off his body. Christina only wants to fly away with Raoul (I forgot how she came out of the underground palace). She is not actually an ideal perfect image. Of course, no character in the book can be perfect. Although the novel is mostly fictional, it is also a processing of the real world. If it is too perfect, it will be distorted. Especially if the protagonist is portrayed in such detail, it is even more impossible for him to be criticized. After all, he is a character in a literary work of the last century. It is certainly inappropriate to judge it from today's perspective. Even the Phantom only shines after amplifying his shocking talent. Eric himself has done many things that are not in line with our values, such as imprisoning people regardless of their wishes, killing innocent people indiscriminately, treating human life as nothing, and the terrifying secret room. If Christina chooses to leave him, she will immediately blow up half of Paris as a price. This shows that he has no compassion for the people at the bottom of his heart, even if he himself was one of them. This is the fatal flaw of his character, and it is also a key point that Christina accuses him of in the musical; such a character flaw cannot be forgiven even if we know the cause. We understand his childhood shortcomings, but our values ​​cannot accept these. So Christina's character flaw is that she can't get out of the confinement of that era. In her eyes, Eric is a liar, pretending to be a musical angel sent by his father - look, this girl is so naive, she still has undiminished romance in her heart, and believes in the protection of angels. Her childhood was romantic and fulfilling, with her childhood sweetheart Raoul, her country musician father, and the care of an old woman (this is in the derivative novel). Her childhood had no regrets, and she was destined to be a commoner girl with a healthy personality. Naturally, she would prefer her childhood sweetheart who came from a noble family. Her admiration for the "Angel of Music" is also due to the nostalgia of her father's company in her childhood. She is actually just a little girl trying to find her childhood. She suffered a life in the theater, so she pursues beautiful memories. So when she came into contact with the Phantom's reality and saw what he looked like under the mask, she was frightened. If the Phantom had been handsome, would she have fallen in love with Eric? I think so, no one can resist the call of the soul. But can they be together then? No, she would not be willing to live underground, even if it could bring her glory on the stage. Her ideal is full of sunshine on the seaside, wild flowers in the countryside and laughter. She is absolutely unwilling to touch the Phantom's dirty and painful past. At this time, Eric is the devil in hell, trying to drag her into the abyss; and Raoul is her salvation, her paradise and faith. Moreover, she does not have the independent consciousness of modern women in the book, and there is no description of her unique pursuits that can highlight the difference between her and the theater girls. It can be seen that her goal is only to become famous, and then be sought after by the nobles. If everything goes well, she can also marry her childhood sweetheart, the noble Raoul. This is probably why the several spin-off novels I have seen have all removed her from the heroine position, because she does not meet our generation's pursuit of heroines at all (in an era when Qiong Yao dramas were popular, this Christina would have been a typical Qiong Yao drama heroine). The female protagonist should be independent and strong, with her own life and ideals. If she loves the male protagonist enough, she can even redeem his soul. Finally, because I couldn't find your Weibo, my wife, I came to Jinjiang to leave a comment. Thank you, my wife, and the next-door owner @ for giving us a new perspective on watching "The Phantom of the Opera". It would be great if you wrote another Phantom book, I can't get enough of it! ! ! I also left the same comment to another wife, I hope you don't mind, because these ideas are all derived from your works. Comparison?

Christine has paid much more than Raul, and Raul will not suffer anything if he falls in love with him. No one will slander him because he is in love with a singer. The cold reception, isolation, and slander Christine received in the theater when they were in love are unimaginable. Raul can't do anything for her, and she has to bear it alone. Raul was not equal to her, and Raul did not treat her as an equal. He was also condescending when he proposed. He thought that proposing to her was a great gift because of his status. He even wanted her to give up her love and career to go sailing with him. Christine didn't agree. He self-righteously believed that Christine did not love him. One or two words from his sister and brother made him shaken, and he had the slightest idea of another aristocratic lady. Although Christine fell in love with Raul voluntarily, I still hope that she can be independent without relying on a lover like Raul.

I rarely see this type of stuff, but this one really works

I finished reading it all at once. I feel so lonely. I want to buy Modo Modo.

So... We didn't get a kiss even at the end?

Ah? Is this the end?

Why did it end? I thought it was going to be about marriage and kissing.

Super pretty! Modo Modo

Why do you think the ending is so abrupt?

Could it be that you flirted with the wrong person? ? ? ?
