Le Gaulois "Le Fantôme de l'Opéra"

Phantom:
Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences ...

Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...

Close your eyes and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life
you knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never lived before ...

Softly, deftly,
music shall surround...

…When every single story your teacher asks you to write turns into a Phantom fic.

…When even your friends' mga kaibigan know about your obsession and warn THEIR mga kaibigan not to ask if Phantom's a musical or an opera.

…When you print out drawings of Leroux Erik sa pamamagitan ng yourself and some of your paborito artists on DA, cut them out so you get a paper doll, and put them in a book, and carry them everywhere you go, and you speak...

Hi guys, I'm going to compare the original novel and the stage musical that popularise the former.

The Novel

When I first read the book, I was taken aback about how the story was different from the musical. It starts with Joseph Buquet's mysterious death, which was officially ruled as a suicide.
Raoul was a very unlikable character in the novel unlike the musical counterpart, he is always angry with Christine and his relationship with Philippe, his elder brother was really explosive due to disapproval over his relationship with Christine.
Erik still remains the same and in the novel, he's also...
