EXPLANATION

The novel which I have read is The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. The story is about a love triangle involving Erik, Christine Daae and Raoul. I found that the disappearance of Christine Daae was very important in the story.

Introduction
|
On the night that Raoul planned to run off with Christine, Erik
kidnapped her and took her to his house on the lake. Driven by strong
determination, Raoul and the Persian ventured into the underground of
the Opera House in the quest of rescuing Christine. Nevertheless, they
fell into Erik’s trap. They were tortured to death in the room of
mirrors and suffered from thirst from the intense heat in the room. They
were unable to help Christine.

In order to save Raoul and the Persian’s lives, Christine made a
sacrifice by telling Erik that she was willing to marry him. Despite
Erik’s hideous face, she agreed to be Erik’s wife. She kissed Erik
lovingly on his ugly mouth. Her kindness touched Erik’s heart. Then,
Erik set Christine, Raoul and the Persian free.

This incident is very important because we learnt that Erik was
not at all evil and that he too, was a human with a heart. We also
learnt that the Persian was a helpful person and he knew Erik quite
well. Apart from that, we learnt that Christine was a very nice young
lady and she had a kind soul. Besides that, Raoul was very much in love
with Christine and he was willing to look for her even though she was
captured by the Phantom of the Opera, Erik.

in the story because there are lots of lessons that can be learnt from
the characters’ involved.
