What is man vs nature in the phantom of the opera?

Answer 1

Man will always view beauty above all else not bothering looking into the heart of the person or to unable or unwillingly perceive beauty in someone's singing awhile physically they looked like a dead corpse such as the poor Phantom's fate. The Phantom viewed his face so horrible, horrific that he wanted to hide from the world and his musical talent. He viewed his face a curse from God and man. He blamed himself for his appearance that could not change. Only love he has ever known was from Christine.

Lets' examine Raoul's character he was physically attractive, rich, he had all the comforts but in his heart he could not understand Christine's love for the Phantom. He was deeply jealous of him, he wanted him dead. Innerly Raoul was just as ugly as the Phantom's outside appearance.

Christine was innerly beauty as she was on the outside, she saw beauty in the Phantom through his magnetic singing and speaking voice. She could not help but being draw to him for she viewed music above all else until she saw the horrific face of the Phantom. She was torn between two men, Raoul and the Phantom, they both represent a paradox. Raoul did not understand the beauty of music although he spent money to listen to it. He could not give her music. Phantom could give her music but not the comfortable environment that she needed to live.
