Is Christine in Phantom of the opera a real person?

Christine was seduced by the phantom, and loved what he represented... danger, passion, music, and a lost connection to her father. But as the play continues, Raoul enters and offers a secure relationship, one that is safer and more familiar, and the phantom's darkness and passion become increasingly dangerous and no longer appealing to her. At the masquerade, he pulls her engagement ring from her neck, in jealousy, and says "these chains are mine, you belong to me". As she is set up as bait in the trap to capture the phantom, she confesses to Raoul that she is scared, and if the phantom finds her she will be his forever. In the end, when the phantom drives her to make an extreme decision, marry him or he will kill Raoul, she sees the phantom's dark and dangerous side for what it is. She pities him, and hates him. She puts on the ring and kisses him once in an attempt to save Raoul; but then is suprised by the passion that she feels, and kisses him again. This is when the phantom finally sees himself for what he is, and loving Christine, he no longer wants her to stay with him. In their final encounter, she returns the ring that he has stolen from her neck to him, showing that she and is still bound to him, and watches the phantom as Raoul takes her away. Yes, she loved the phantom. Some of these answers are found in an interview with phantom producer, Austin Shaw: http://www.reallyuseful.com/rug/shows/phantom/newsDetail.htm?id=207

What happens at the cemetery in The Phantom of the Opera?

Christine goes to have some "lone time" at her father's grave; the Phantom appears and begins to hypnotise her with music once more; Raoul appears, breaking her trance; he and the Phantom duel, and the Phantom is disarmed; Christine pleads for Raoul to spare his life; they leave and the Phantom declares war for both of them. Also at the end of the movie, we see Raoul going to Christine's grave. He sets a music box with a monkey on her grave. When he turns to leave he sees a rose with a black ribbon and a ring. It shows that the phantom was visiting her grave too. Sincerely, Phantomfreak6377

What is the history of the Monkey music box in the 2004 movie Phantom of the Opera?

Yes, in very many ways. A monkey symbolizes many things that are strongly related to the story. The movie's end has a moment where Christine is sailing away with Raoul but turns to look back at the Phantom, while she sings the words "Share each day with me, each night, each morning...", that is also in the original screenplay, which states that she seems to be singing that to the Phantom. In India, the monkey is a symbol of soul. Monkeys may represent lust. A monkey may also represent positive attributes, such as inspiration and a sense of freedom. Monkeys as symbols appear to have a double or twin meaning. Whether positive or negative, the monkey is revealing something about what is going on in your inner world. This is why it may be validly interpret that Christine, though had been a happy and beloved wife and mother in her marriage with Raoul, she had always been torn in two. As in never felt truly free because by leaving the Phantom behind, she parted from an essential part of her. The Phantom had once inspired her voice and she obviously had felt tons of lust towards him and according to the film's director, Joel Schumacher, she felt a very deep and very soulful union with the Phantom. Perhaps, by bringing to her graveside, the monkey music box which by the way had belonged to the person with whom Christine had emotionally/spiritually shared every moment of her life, Raoul wanted to make a gesture of understanding or apology to her. After all he went through a lot of trouble to get the object and the film makes it seem like the story we see is him remembering the events on his way to Christine's grave. Also, the music box plays the tune of "Masquerade", which lyrics appeal and connect to the Phantom's character. ("Masquerade, paper faces on parade. Masquerade, hide your face so the world will never find you.")


What will happen in the sequel of 'the Phantom of the Opera?

According to "Seagull -- the New York Theater Guide", and a surprising array of other sources, Adrew Lloyd Webber reports (rather frequently) that he's already finished the score for "Phantom of the Opera II", and is impatiently awaiting the lyrics from Tim Rice (Evita and other collaborations with Webber). The idea has been in play for the last 10 years and is now greenlighted. The Phantom of the Opera 2 is mostly about the Phantoms point of view, like what happened after Cristene (i don't know if her name is spelled right) left. They say that it is suppose to be coming out in March of 2011.
