The Phantom of the Opera

Origin
Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera was a series of stories published in the magazine Le Gaulois, eventually compiled into a novel. The story is about a deformed man who lived in the cellars of the Paris Opera House. The woman he loves is a singer, Christine who triumphs at the gala on the night of the old managers' retirement. During the dong her childhood friend, Raoul, hears her sing and recalls his love for her as well. A love triangle is developed between Erik, the Phantom, Christine and Raoul. Christine is kidnapped by Erik with the hope that she would fall in love with him until she unmasks him and sees his deformity. She asks to leave but promises to return only to go to Raoul and tell him what happened. He promises to take her away only Erik overhears them. Kidnapping her before they could escape Erik plans on blowing up the Opera House if Christine leaves him. In the end he accepts that she cannot stay and kisses her forehead, she returns the kiss and he becomes overcome with emotion saying that not even his mother showed him the love she showed him. Erik allowed Raoul, the Persian (A friend who came with Raoul to rescue Christine) and Christine to leave as long as she returns when he dies to wish him goodbye. True to her word she returns years later leaving a ring he gave her on his tombstone.
