Alrighty, as for the book part, yes, I do believe that Christine never really loved Erik. She was just too damn scared of him, and he WAS really creppy adn violent in the book. HOWEVER! The movie in my opinion was quite different. Erik was much more gentle and romantic, and Christine believe it or not probably loved him in ways she could never love Roul. It's just that Roul was a more free and happier person.

So for the book I think it was best for her to go with Roul, but I think she could have pulled it off in the movie, not the best way, but she could have done it..I mean after Erik singing the whole "anywhere you go let me go too" thing..It would be pretty hard to say no to that sweatdrop

The reason I dont prefer her and Roul is because Roul just seems like such a generic person..Erik is so 3-dimentional to me and has such character...but Roul its like..meh, handsome prince, charming, boring. stare So yeah it all depends on what version and what your talking about.


Yes, in the 2004 movie I could maybe see something working for Erik and Christine. As either Joel or Andrew (I forget which one aid it...prob Andrew) Christine has a romantic attraction to Raoul and a sexual attraction to Erik.

Book wise, it would have NEVER worked. Plain and simple.

For it was not into my ear you whispered,
but my heart.


I don't really like Raoul and yes I am all for punjabbing him. But, I belive Raoul was the best choice for Christine. At first, the Phantom only loved Christine for her voice. Then when he truly saw her he fell in love with her more. Raoul fell in love with her for her personality and character. Also, yes, Erik is a little unstable. But I think deep down Christine did have feelings for Erik, such as sadness, pity, and maybe love. But her pull to Erik was more of her looking for her father and at first she saw her father in Erik's voice. She also probably saw Erik as a more daring person compared to Raoul. I was sad when Christine didn't go with Erik, but how could I have fallen in love with the story if it turned out the way I wanted it to! Also, one more thing, Christine's pull to Erik was also a little sexual in a way if you look at it. You can't really see it in the book but it stands out clearly in the 2004 movie if that's what you base your information on. Which I normally don't. I just thought to point it out.

It was not my lips you kissed,
but my soul.
