Well there are many themes. Some simple ones are mystery, death and love. But there are also others such as jealousy, hate, fear and pity. There are many different themes, it all depends on how you look at it. ;)
According to Wikipedia:"The Phantom of the Opera (French: Le Fantôme de l'Opéra) is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux."This means that since this story is fiction, there are no particular dates given for the birth and death of the phantom, Erik.
According to Gaston Leroux's 'The Phantom of the Opera' and Susan Kay's 'Phantom', he died in 1882 from what might have been the effects of a broken heart. In Andrew Lloyd Webber's version, his time of death is unknown, although we know it would have been sometime during or after 1919.
Phantom of Death was created in 1988.
Death in Venice - opera - was created in 1973.
I think the Phantom of the opera is real as in a real ghost who is still alive and can't die.
Phantom's opinion, at least couple of years, he teaches Christine in how to sing. Is she grateful, no, she deserts him for Raoul, the slave of fashion. He realizes he must push her talent, singing to the Opera House, even to threaten death for Christine for her to realize he is in love with her and will do anything for her happiness.
Without the mask, the Phantom feels, he can never be loved by anyone.The story takes place in the 19th century to see a skeleton or skull in 19th century's superstition it meant death. This is why everyone is afraid of the Phantom because looks like a dead corpse.Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera-The Phantom had been wearing a mask since birth. His mother did not want to see his disfigured face, she was the first to make him wear a mask.Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's the musical Phantom of the OperaIf you listen to the lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles HartThe Phantom of the Opera -"Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear I am the mask you wear."I Remember/Stranger Than You Dreamt It-"this loathsome gargoyle, who burns in hell,but secretly yearns for heaven,Fear can turn to love - you'll learn to see to find the man behind the monster:this repulsive carcass, who seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty."
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musical Phantom of the Opera-At the end, the Phantom lets Christine go. Christine and Raoul actually leave the Phantom's lair together in the boat. The Phantom is left in his lair and is sitting in his throne and throws his cape over himself. When the mob enters the Phantom's lair they lift the cape but only his mask is there. The end.
because black is the symbol for death and the phantom is looking for its next victim..
the suffering, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus is called
No one. The 2004 film clearly shows the Phantom had lived even after Christine died at the age of 65. The Phantom probably died later of old age because he was older than Christine. In the original novel he died soon after Christine left with Raoul, and he (the Phantom) died of love, because he loved Christine so much but had to let her go.
