Phantom of the Opera

I saw the movie and the play and im a little confused. Do you think Christine loved the Phantom? Why did she give the her engagement ring to the Phantom at the end of the movie? In the play, it looked like she stayed with the Phantom bc the manikin doll looked like her sooo what happened??? Its been bugging me!!Chat Icon TIA

the movie and play are a little different. I think the movie actually mimics the book a little better. (well, except for a few things that I don't want to ruin, in the event that someone is reading the book)

Christine did have A love for the phantom, and she probably would have chosen to be with him if he didn't do all the fekked up things that he did to other people...

The ring that she gave back was the ring that the Phantom gave her. When he was in the process of trying to kill Raul, she agreed to be with Phatom in exchange for Raul's life. That's when the Phantom gave her an e-ring. But, then when the Phantom realized that he was going to get caught (because he heard all of the other people marching down after him) he decided to let her and Raul go free. That's when she gave him back the ring.

Both in the play and in the movie, she ends up with Raul.

Ok i thought Raul gave her the ring originally. In the movie didnt they pick it out together? in the play i thought that Raul and Christine were secretly engaged.

Raul also gave her a ring. In the movie, the Phantom snatched it off her necklace during the masquerade ball.

Then, the Phantom later gave her an e-ring. She gave back that ring. So, I think she ended up with no e-ring...

I agree- I think she DID love him, but when he started murdering people, she was scared of him There is a line, "Your face holds no sorrow, its your soul..."

I think she kissed him out of pity and to save Raoul- he obviously had such terrible treatment by people that turned what was a gentle soul (her angel of music) into a killer.

Raul- definitely. She CHOSE to be engaged to him, unlike the Phantom who kidnapped her and threatened to kill Raul if she didn't marry him. Hard to love that!
