Thesis Statement: Gaston Leroux (1910) novel is more in depth as compared to Joel Schumacher (2004) movie adaption of the novel. Gaston Leroux has described and built his characters in a way that it has ranged from a spoilt prima donna Carlotta, to the mysterious Persian from Erik’s past that has been commemorated by numerous memorable adaptations. However regardless of this, it has always managed to perpetuate a strong impact to all literature readers with its remarkable element of Gothic horror

"The Wiz" Still Easing on Down the Road By the time Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Nipsey Russell, Lena Horne and Richard Prior took the Wiz to the silver screen in 1977, the show had already been a Tony Award-winning Broadway hit. In fact, the 1975 "Wizard of Oz" adaptation was still running strong on Broadway when the movie was released. It would be moved to the Broadway Theater in May of 1977 where it would spend the next four years providing nearly 2,000 performances. Over the next few decades

The two books that I chose to read this summer were Phantom of the Opera and Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea. In Phantom of the Opera, the main character being explored is The Phantom, also known as, Erik. Erik was thin, had a skeleton frame, and was always dressed in dress clothes. He made no noise and did not speak. He stalked the building like a shadow. Mysterious events started occurring at the opera house, such as the death of Joseph Buquet, and Christine suddenly becoming a musical prodigy

Phantom of the Opera is the Best Musical on Broadway “Say you love me. You know I do.” These famous words come from the outstanding musical Phantom of the Opera. Phantom is one of the most beloved shows. According to Kelso, J. (2013), “The show has played to over 130 million people in 30 countries in 151 cities around the world, with an estimated gross of $5.6 billion worldwide.” In Phantom of the Opera, the use of beautiful costumes, music, and the set together create one of the most loved shows

Phantom of the Opera is a musical focusing on the career of Christine Dubios (also known as Christine Daae). IMDB summarizes the plot with, “Pit violinist Claudin hopelessly loves rising operatic soprano Christine Dubois (as do baritone Anatole and police inspector Raoul) and secretly aids her career (Phantom of the Opera (1943)). But Claudin loses both his touch and his job, murders a rascally music publisher in a fit of madness, and has his face etched with acid. Soon, mysterious crimes plague

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

A Disaster to a Masterpiece Many novels get made into movies which are typically worse than the book, not in this case. The novel Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux is not a good read because of all of the faults but when the novel gets revised by Andrew Lloyd Weber into a Broadway production, it becomes an amazing work of art. In the novel Gaston Leroux has a storyline that is difficult to understand because of how the novel is written. Leroux was a journalist before he wrote the Phantom

The first thing that comes to someone’s mind when they think about a phantom or a ghost, usually does not involve a real human or the word sympathy. In the novel, The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, this actually is the case. A deformed human, who lives deep under the opera and is stuck in a love triangle, causes problems for the people of the opera. The real definition of sympathy is: “feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else’s misfortune” (123). Which does not apply to the Phantom because

Some people would say that it is wrong to not feel sympathy for someone. Everyone’s life is hard in different ways, but some people just don’t deserve it. In the novel, The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, this happens to be the case. A deformed human, who lives in the Opera House, has done many bad things and doesn’t deserve to have anyone’s pity. The real definition of sympathy is: “feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else’s misfortune” (123). This does not apply to the Phantom because
