This part of the story showed the human and morale side of Erik. He himself has a lot of trouble and afraid with Erik when he first met him, but their relationship stayed until Erik’s end in Phantom of the Opera. The way it all ended hit me the hardest because of the injustice of its all.Īt this point, enter our precious Persian, our Daroga, with the name Nadir. He was a father figure for Erik, when he needed it the most (he’s in his teenage years here, full of angst and FEELS), giving him shelter, trust and knowledge. In a way, I think this one is the most tragic. The third one is Giovanni, an elderly master mason who had a very close relationship with Erik. The treatment he got was inhumane, and he can’t do nothing but endure it. I personally think this is the most horrifying part of the story. Then we move on to Erik himself, who told us his experience and abuse with the gypsy. I get how Madelaine felt and in a way, her way of protecting Erik, which is why I feel sorry and sympathize with both of them. It’s heartbreaking to see his relationship with his mother, how he desired love and approval from his mother, received nothing but hatred in return. The first one is Madelaine, which is Erik’s mother and the beginning of Erik’s life. The story in this book is divided into few chapters from different time and point of view in Erik’s life.
So far, this is the best book I’ve read this year, and yes, I do think it’s better than the original.įirst, let’s talk about the characters. It took me 4 months to finish this one, but don’t let the duration fool you. In Phantom, Susan Kay tells us more about Erik, from his childhood to the events in Phantom of the Opera. The well-known classic Phantom of the Opera tells us the story of Erik and Christine Daae. This incredible portrait of Erik–the Phantom–recreates his entire life, from his survival as a child in a carnival freak show to his creative genius behind the Paris Opera House–and its labyrinthine world below–to his discovery of love. Published March 15th 2006 by Aeon Publishing Inc. And yes, I can see your gasp of horror here.
