Wow. Somebody is admitting that Raoul is not a complete scumbag. I note that you didn't say he was the hero either (which he was), but it's definetly a step in the right direction.

To be honest, I don't think anyone was the "hero" in that book. Unless it was Christine. Raoul told the story mostly, so he was the protagonist, but he wasn't the main character, nor was he the person who set everything right. Christine was. In PotO the roles of protagonist and antagonist, hero and villan and main character are blurred. It is not a traditional story.

I don't think anyone really 'set everything right'. in POTO, unless you count Erik for letting Christine go at the end. Christine didn't fix anything so much as she prevented her boyfriend from getting barbequed. But the relative ambiguity of the main characters is a part of the story's appeal, I think. Though, if one had to pick a hero of the story it would be Raoul. He may not exactly succeed in his heroic efforts, but he does try his hardest to do the right thing, unravel the mystery, and rescue the girl. However, I am pleased that someone is actually admitting that Raoul isn't pure evil. Kudos to you!

However, I am pleased that someone is actually admitting that Raoul isn't pure evil. Kudos to you! Okay, you have a point. By "set everything right," I meant that bacause of her nobody died, and Erik was finally happy. Still, I don't know if Raoul was exactly a "hero". I mean, he does do some heroic things, but then again, so do Christine and the Persian, and, yes, even Erik. The Persian even narrated a good portion of the book, so, by that sense, he would also be considered a "hero". And, no, Raoul is not pure evil, but nobody's really evil. Personally, I don't particularly like him, but, ehh, that's just my opinion. I do like debating about him a little much, though.
