The Phantom of the Opera
Book Review
The
Phantom of the Opera, by Gaston Leroux (1911)
This week I read The Phantom of the Opera. This book is a
horror story. I liked this story and I couldn’t stop reading because I was
worried about its continuation. I wrote down three quotes and will discuss
them. The first one is: “Then I will send a wonderful teacher to my daughter. I
will send the Angel of Music to her.” (p.12). When I read this sentence, I
thought what the Angel of Music is. Is its real angel? Is this story fantasy? Anyway,
I still didn’t know what Angel of Music was. The Second one is: Raoul looked at
the young woman on the stage. “I know her,” he said (p.19). I was surprised when
I read this scene because Raoul and the young woman, Christine, met by chance
for the first time in 10 years. At this time, I thought there were some reason
why they met again and I wanted keep reading more. The last one is: “Yes, I can
love you,” Christine said. “I sang for you. You were my wonderful teacher. But
I love Raoul too. Please, Erik, save Raoul and the Persian.” (p.61). When I
read this Christine’s serif, I thought she was kind hearted person. She didn’t
scream when she saw Erik’s face like a dead man and also, she loved him as a
teacher.
I want to recommend this book. This story’s ending is happy, but a
little sad. At first, I thought Eric was just a terrible person without
humanity, but after I knew his past, I was sorry for him when he chose to die
by himself. I have finished read this story, but I have only one thing to worry
about that is why Erik’s face was the face of a dead man? Since when has he
been such a face? I am very curious about this reason. I
give this book 8 stars out of 10.
