Plot Summary: The Angel Of Music

Music and religion are often intertwined, whether it be religious chanting or hymns used to worship. However, in the case of Islam, the relationship between religion and music is more strained, as Islamic law strictly forbids listening to music. However, there is a very strong religious debate on what constitutes music as diversion and what is acceptable to use in worship and religious purposes. There are two concepts in Islam which are relevant to this conversation: sama and ghina. The ghina is the simpler of the two, referring to music and performance associated with secular art music; this is normally banished. Ghina is the only genre which is referred to as “music”. The sama, on the other hand, is more complex. Sama, which literally means “listening” and thus, includes the music being listened to (as well as dance as performed by mystic societies) is more complex. The abundance of writings about the sama is chiefly due to the debate surrounding the legality of music and dance from a legal, mystical, and religious perspective. Some elements of music have been categorized as acceptable sama by religious authorities, including Koran cantillation, singing of unaccompanied hymns, old Bedouin songs, and simple functional folk songs used to mark events in a community or individual’s life, thus considering them to be “non-music”.

He hurts people, and does not want Christine to marry Raoul. The relationship between the Phantom and Christine is a conflict that affects how she acts towards Raoul. The phantom has instilled fear in her, for example, after the fight at the graveyard, the Phantom declared “Now let it be war upon you both!” The Phantom also had killed other people up into this point, during the production of Don Juan, the Phantom crashed the chandelier upon the audience, and then set fire to the theatre. Also, due to fear, Christine keeps their engagement secret from the world, and then upon the Phantom finding out, he reacts in a rage of fear and hatred, If she chooses Raoul, she has reasonable evidence to believe that they both should die. If the Phantom had not instilled this fear in her before, and they had not formed a rather (mean, abusive, dating) relationship, they could have reasonably worked this out between the three of them. Christine also has a relationship with Raoul, and then proceeds to become engaged to him. Their engagement becomes a source of fury to the Phantom that caused him to go into solitude and set fire to the theatre. The Phantom made her choose, to prove that she still “belonged” to the Phantom, even after her engagement to

An angel. That's what I can describe about her appearance. "Angel" is the most suitable word for her that I can think of, maybe there is other words, but for me that is the most suitable word for her. Her skin is so white that onlookers might think that she is made up of porcelain, adding up with her black hair which is floating around creating a refraction of light, she gave out an aura of pureness. If I don't know her identity I might think that she is an angel who fall here to give me hope. Her face seems to be carved by a genius sculptor, and her ruby-like eyes is shining with crimson glow. But the expression that she wore is emotionless. With a perfect bone structure which made that flawless face, I, can see it, the emptiness that shown through her face. With her large greatsword that adorn by seemingly arranged silver ornament, she swings by all her might cutting all the enemies surrounding her. Blood spurting around like a carnival, but there's not even one speck of it that dropped to her shining armor.
