Phantom Of Opera Psychology

Once upon a time in a land far away, a young girl named Cinderella lived with her Stepmother and two stepsisters. Although they were exceedingly cruel, Cinderella continued to be as benevolent as a human could be. One night Cinderella had come across a ball that her mother had forbidden her to attend. Her stepsisters tore and ripped her dress that she had made herself, so Cinderella couldn’t attend the ball. After Cinderella’s stepmother and sisters went off to the ball, a fairy godmother had appeared to grant Cinderella’s dreams to attend the ball. There she met a young fellow whom she danced with all night. Little had she known he was the prince who was throwing the ball. At the beginning of the night the fairy godmother had told

The children's version, meant for 8 to 12 year-olds, is the most like the original 1920s Gaston Leroux version.  One of the few things that is changed, other than the overall abbreviation of the novel, is simplification of the language.  For example, Erik begins describing himself by saying, "I was ugly.  Worse than ugly"3.  This straightforward, childlike language puts the novel at the preteen reading level while preserving Erik's crucial description.  The Phantom of the Opera is the most popular book in Random House Publishing's youth "Bullseye Chiller" series, above other tales of vampires, werewolves, mummies, and witches4.  Even children can identify with the love triangle among the three main characters - Erik, Christine and Raoul.  They probably still pity his unrequited love for Christine, and the way in which he was mistreated.  Night Magic, another adaptation, is much lighter reading and aimed at a different audience than the more literary variations.  Night Magic is the modern-day romance version of Phantom, spanning two decades.  Erik becomes a reclusive scarred contractor, and Christine is now Marisa, a spoiled and orphaned teenager with a beautiful voice.  The traditional Erik kills without a thought when he feels threatened, while Erik's most raging moment in Night Magic consists of him throwing a stool across the room when a client has been flirtatious with Marisa5.  This adaptation is lacking the "dangerous" side of Erik, so as not to scare

Becoming more threatening to Christine, the Phantom makes her fearful of him. After he lashes out at her for removing his mask, saying “You little demon, is this what you wanted to see? […] now you cannot ever be free” (1.6), Christine runs to Raoul and tells him that they will be “safe on the roof” and that “his eyes will find [her] there” (1.10). The use of the words safe and find, indicate that she no longer wants to be near the Phantom. Christine begs Raoul to help her get away from him;

When Cindy arrived at the ball all eyes were on her and the crowd started whispering ?who is that beautiful girl?? the prince would dance with no one except for her. The aunt and the cousins were jealous of this

It was loud enough that the other side of the village could hear it. When Petie was ready, he raised his hands, slid the flute up from his sleeve to his face and began to play. Children and adults alike began to dance with their friends, laughing and smiling. Timkin knew that this was going to be a good performance. She skipped her way to the middle of their stage where Bruno was standing. She climbed up the burly bear’s shoulders and stood confidingly. Then on Petie’s command, Crystal scurried up Bruno and Timkin, where she rested her hands on Timkin’s head and balanced in a handstand. The crowd were amazed, but mystified, since Petie walked around and behind the tower of troupers with his flute in his pocket, but somehow the flute’s impish tune lingered. Petie moved behind the tower and abruptly began to breathe smoky tongues of fire and smoke, making the introduction look even more spectacular. The crowd erupted in applause as Crystal and Timkin climbed down carefully off of
