In the past few weeks in class I have had the pleasure of experiencing two different versions of The Phantom of the Opera. I watched the stage version, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and directed by Nick Morris and Laurence Connor, which was a filmed version of the live stage performance. I also watched the 2004 Hollywood version directed and written by Joel Schumacher. This film is a Hollywood take on the classic theatre production. I have enjoyed and disliked different aspects of the musical and

Only Mask Deep All is silent and still on a foggy Parisian night, when suddenly a single rapport of pistol fire breaks the calm. Most people associated gunfire to that of an ominous sound, but to Gaston Leroux it was reason for celebration. Night air gunfire meant that Leroux had completed another novel. Every novel he wrote ended with a single shot (V. Leroux). Welcoming a novel in this way was classic Leroux; big, bold, audacious, with a touch of the flamboyant (Mackintosh 6). In 1889, Leroux

The character of Erik is an excellent sample of a social plunder. The world has given him back since he was born because he was deformed and had to learn to live with it in the darkness of the basement of
