See Wikipedia's disambiguation page for a more thorough breakdown of the character and the various adaptations starring him.Įrik was born with a horribly disfigured face, and is subsequently shunned by his family and most of the world. The 2004 movie, which cast Gerard Butler in the role of the Phantom and heavily downplayed his disfigurement, further encouraged the character's sexymanification. These changes catapulted The Phantom into sexyman territory. Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 stage musical adaptation of the book put more of an emphasis on romance, and turned Erik from a cellar goblin who speaks in third person half the time, into a hypnotic smooth-talker in a glittery cape and a suit.
While there are some romantic elements in the 1909 serialization, the original is mostly a ghost story/murder mystery. Christine agrees to his terms and, of her own volition, kisses Erik's disfigured face, which causes him to have a change of heart, and he lets her go. Ultimately, Erik kidnaps Christine and threatens to murder Raoul unless Christine agrees to marry Erik. He falls in love with (read: becomes obsessed with) the ballet dancer Christine Daae and, over the course of the story gives her singing lessons, threatens the theatre managers until they give her the best operatic roles, and harasses Christine's love interest Raoul.
