I'm so upset they didn't put this in the 2004 film. It links in with the tune at the very end of the movie when Raoul notices the beautiful still-fresh rose at Christine’s grave.
] No one would listen No one but her Heard as the outcast hears. Shamed into solitude Shunned by the multitude I learned to listen In my dark, my heart heard music.

This should've been in the movie. :/ And even if they didn't want the scene, still, these lyrics are much better than Learn to be Lonely, this could've been in the end credits. :(
@A Runner I mean, yes, the melody is in there, and a version with different lyrics plays during the end credits. I know. I was saying this version of the song should have been in there instead.
I agree because I always imagine him as the phantom protecting me from my abused mother who chooses drinking and partying and love in my sister over me
They deleted because there wasn't an apropriate scene they could show it, but i agree, this song is so sad an it shows poor Erik's feelings... he deserves so much more than a hug. He deserves feel genuine love, as a good normal man he IS, he deserves to be heard, loved and accepted ❤❤
@@funereacovarasa oh my! He's mad! Ooh oh! Of course, a man who harrassed poor girls (cof cof Joseph Buquet cof cof) was inocent, and an arrogant narcisist such as Piangi was such a kind-heart person! And for sure, a man who did everything possible for his beloved and even still let her go with another man, sacrificed his own happiness and dreams is evil and mad, because he's a tragic outcasts with a deformed face, of course. People are only good when they're beautiful and perfect, am i wrong? Great review of Erik's character, my lady!👏👏👏👏
ok she’s got a point. yeah i feel terrible for him and i want literally nothing more than to hug him. but he let his loneliness which turned bitterness which turned to hatred. he has every right to be mad at whoever did what they did to him, but killing people took it way too far. yeah, everyone would’ve reacted that way and no, they shouldn’t have, it was rude and judgmental and harsh, but he shouldn’t have killed them
They should have kept this song in the movie I think it would have gone well with the ending right after Christine left with Raul because it's like the Phantom is looking back at his moments with Christine and realizing that Christine has always cared for him and that he says that she saw my loneliness shared in my emptiness I just feel that this scene could have fit perfectly with right after she left with Raul because to me this is like a looking back at Time song
Actually this takes places before "point of no return" you see that he sits down in the chair and he places his rose on her picture in front of the miniature set that he eventually lites on fire in the film!
personally i would’ve gone with the phantom. my aunt made an excellent point the other day, she said “he loved christine so much that he let her go because that’s what she wanted.” he does have morals and he really does love her. phantom for the win !!!!!!
he kidnaps her, throws her to the ground for taking off his mask, manipulates her into feeling bad for him and murders several people. he never loved her, he loved having something to possess, something to control. the moment of compassion at the end when he lets Christine and Raul go is because he finally has realized the fatal mistakes he's made, that was when he truly fell in love with her, and he knew what was best for her was not him, so he let her go. but we shouldn't praise this one moment of self realization and kindness. this shouldn't be a good enough reason to want Christine to end up with him. the decisions he makes leading up to his act of mercy shouldn't be overlooked.
I think The Phantom did love her but In An obsessive and controlling Way and eventually He realized that that was no Live For Both of them but he Never forgot her but I think we shouldn't Forget Who is the real Villain Here that is the cruelty of Society against everyone that is Different than them
No one would listen No one but her Heard as the outcast hears. Shamed into solitude Shunned by the multitude I learned to listen In my dark, my heart heard music.

he is NOT a psychopath! he is just a tragic victim of horrific circumstances! he loved one woman Christine he loved only her, he tragically dies in the end of the novel. he was overcome by jealously and rage. yes he did bad things but he only did that to protect himself. He is not a "monster" the real monster of the story are those who will never learn to love anything that is Different than ones own skin. this story takes place in the 1870, if you were born deformed you back then were considered a monster! "compassion" is an ugly world back then. Im a woman and you dont treat people who are in pain like ERIK!
Actually, one of them was Raoul who only sees the serial killer side of the Phantom, one of them was Madame Giry because Erik didn't give her any credit for helping him escape, one of them was the ringleader of the freak show he grew up in because all they see is that the Phantom leaving cost the freak show a lot of money, and the final one was the Phantom himself because he didn't want others to know about his past.
I don't care what anyone says. I would've stayed with him down below the opera house. Though I don't praise some of the choices he made, I don't believe he was evil. He wasn't a villain. He was a misunderstood, lonely, broken soul who latched onto the first bit of light he could find. That light being Christine. A girl who had so much love, kindness, and compassion in her heart, and he hoped she would have enough for him as well.
this song is so beautiful, especially sung by Gerard Butler!! i cry avery time i hear it. Oh why why did Christine go with stupid raoul?? I know she was scared, but the phantom loved so much it turned into obsessiveness (sp?) -sob-
I looooove Erik so much and this video made me cry I saw it a lot before but soon I just stopped I heard it again For the first time in 2021 and I just remembered what this song meant to me
I've listened to my love emptiness and loneliness and he hurt it me the most in my whole life......I loved him with all my heart. He was the first love of my life. I miss him a lot. The relationship was toxic...I realized after 3 years...I had to run away to keep myself safe and protect my heart. I am praying for him.
@@hydraart2054 ??? Raoul is not a soldier, he's a vicount... but yes, Erik is better. Erik only killed to defend himself, Raoul has such a selfish, narcissistic and male chauvinist comportament, so...
For a guy who took on a role known for singing and isn't known for it, Gerard Butler did a solid job as the Phantom. I still prefer the stage version but the film version isn't half bad.
Honestly, Gerard is my favorite phantom. I love this version of this music and Also Emmy is my fav Christine. Before you think I’m crazy, they did such a good job bringing this to the live screen and making me feel something, sure, I think ramin and the other phantoms were more trained (same with the Christines) but I prefer the acting here. I cry every time at this movie and it really makes me feel something. Gerard as Erik gave him emotion and depth, and I think that the vocals are good as is, people get mad because since he lives in a opera house he should be an opera singer, but he just lives there and isn’t an opera singer, so why should his voice have to sound like one? I think the only one that makes more sense as an opera singer is Christine because she did preform, but she also learned from someone who wasn’t an opera singer. And Raoul also doesn’t need to be one (realistically, that is) The film version honestly did a pretty solid job at capturing the 1980s version.
@@gwynn2165 I feel like people are grasping at straws and trying to look for reasons to hate on Gerik. The idea that he's this "great teacher" is kind of silly....like who are his other students?? He's using "teacher" as a way to groom Christine so that he can control her and make her his. He's really more of a composer than a 'teacher," but he did do a good job of training Christine (which shows that he can certainly teach and help others). Another thing, I've had singing teachers that were not particularly "great." They weren't bad singers, but none of them were "great" as if they should be on stage. If they were great they would be professional singers and not teachers.
@@felixthecat2786 Okay, but ever since the book, he's been literally the greatest singer to ever live. He's multi-talented to a crazy extent and everyone would absolutely love him if only it weren't for his deformity. That's why it's so impactful and to strip that away, it kinda makes his reasons for being so horrible less easy to sympathize with. Especially when in this movie, his deformities look like a burn rather than something that would scare everyone to the extent it does. And to be clear, I still think this movie's fine and I like Gerard Butler as an actor. I just don't think his casting in this role specifically was the best decision
@@felixthecat2786 this movie is musical, but ofc that backstory exists… he not become her teacher to control her , rather, he was enchanted by her voice when she sang in secret so that no one could hear her, and that's why he wanted to help her because he saw the potential in her, and there is also an explanation why he didn't have any other students, he didn’t want to have students until the day when he heard christine
Everyone hated him for not being a professional singer but I truly believe they picked a perfect actor. Gerard shows so much passion as the phantom through out the film. He may not have the best voice but still is so passionate
Sir Webber told himself that he didn't care Butler is not a trained singer. He said what is important in the movie is to convey the feelings in a different way, and the emotions it evokes. Cinema and musical theater are different.
I really liked this song and I never knew why they cut it out. I think maybe it gets us to know the Phantom a little too much and takes away his mystique.
I had to think about how I feel like no one would listen or care about what I have to say but GOD always listens and he cares about me and how I feel!! I just think that's amazing... that the all mighty God, the creator of everything cares about every single one of us and listens when we talk to him. 💞
This is the melody that plays after Why So Silent, when Erik looks at Chriatine and they share this moment..until he breaks it and goes "your chains are still mine, you belong to me!"
Teniendo a un hombre así a mi lado como el fantasma que fuera mi maestro,mi ángel mi compañero de vida,que me protegiera definitivamente me hubiera ido con el
Why did they delete this scene? Now that I know about it, this the story of Phantom shown on the movie doesn't make sense and it's not the full perspective. I feel so disappointed with the movie I have beloved. If he could sing this to Christine instead of being cruel to other people, she would stay with him because they understood eachother. He was the only person who loved her truly and cared for her career, Raoul didn't care if she sings or not, he was acting just like a jealous teenager.
Every one of you are right. And the people who didn't understand why Gerard was chosen, I think Lord Weber got exactly what he wanted, an actor. An actor who displayed the phantom as a passionate man. Go back and look at the scene on the rooftop as he hides and watched Christine and Raoul declare their love. And while I'm complaining, why wasn't Patrick chosen to be in the anniversary show at Royal Albert Hall? Just sayin
I had the DVD. How did I miss this deleted scene?! I always LOVED the music but the lyrics were too hopeless. This at least gives a story about the phantom. Came at the right time though. I'm planning my wedding next year and it's going to be POTO themed ❤️
nonostante non sia una scena presente nell'opera originale, il musical s'intende, è davvero un pezzo magnifico che nel film non avrebbe affatto guastato!!
@thatARTISTICguy I understand what you are saying,but he loved Christine long before letting Raul and Christine go. He looked over her since the time she came to the opera house, he tutored her,left her gifts, protected her from the hate and harm her endured at the hands of others. Did you forget that he was cruelly whipped, abused physically, emotionally, mentally, mocked, spit on, laughed at, and publicly humiliated in a human freak circus, and shunned daily. He was labeled as a "devil child" by the circus master that profited from this and abandoned by his own mother because of his physical appearance. Society abused him, mistreated him, shunned him, and treated him like a beast of the wild. Society made him an angry, bitter, outcast and you say he is not to be forgiven because he acted out the way he did. The only love,kindness, and gentleness he was shown was from Madame and Christine, and even Christine's love was of a fickle nature . Now, I ask you how would you feel and be if you endured all the Phantom did? To live a life hiding from the world, living alone and learning to be lonely.😢 No,my empathy is for the Phantom
I think this song would have taken place right after Giry tells Raoul The Phantom's story and right before Christine goes to her father's grave. His "Red Death" costume is out, but the little Opera stage he has is set up for "Don Juan Triumphant". To me it makes the most sense for it to be there.
Needs to be at a time when he's not angry. When he gets angry, he recovers quickly when it comes to Christine. So insert it after he returns her upstairs; he realizes she understands him, since she returns his mask to preserve most of his dignity.
Assisti o filme e fiquei mal pelo Fantasma. Agora, vendo essa cena excluida do filme, coitado! Vivia num mundo sozinho e sem nenhum tipo de afeto! Música linda e que te toca no fundo do coração! Se entrasse essa cena no filme, todos iriam torcer pelo Fantasma ficar com a Cristine e não Raul.
i think it was before the chandeler breaks because before he goes up there he sets his little set on fire and in this scene his set isn't but his figure and christines are in the scene!
@theshiy1 True, but we also see why he is the way he is in Mme. Giry's story of how she saved him from the circus. It does show more of a reason why he loves Christine so much, though.
I always wondered where this would be in the movie itself, clearly after he found out Raoul and her kissed but i imagine it was the part right before the Masqurade in as we can see the play for Don Juan Triumphant is in the back but still in the process, and if you watch the scene where Erik and Christine walk up the stairs to meet, the instrumental part of this plays for a bit before he gets mad. At this point he isn't mad at her, he believes that she is just being fooled by Raoul since he is handsome and only now noticed her both as a person and a talent. If anyone has any thoughts when this is go ahead and comment, im actually curious.
Ohhhhhhhhh that makes sense. It explains everything, including his clothing, the fact that the rose is still present, and the fact that the song is in past tense. I guess that also explains why they took it out-it implies that he put his mask & wig back on (and it also showed spares in the background) which would mean that Meg can’t find the mask and be like 😱
Whatever phantom did (murdering people) cannot be overlooked however he hasn’t known anything but cruelty of the society at young age and loneliness thereafter. And then he listens to Christine sing and he gets mesmerised by her. His mind doesn’t work like a normal person with morals and ethics. He is obsessed with Christine. The first murder he did was of Joseph and he did it out of irritation as his repeated demands to let Christine sing as lead were denied and Joseph was almost about to catch him. Later when he sees Christine and Raoul he just looses it completely because he couldn’t believe that she would betray him like that as she is the only person for the entire world for him so his next murder of peiangi is purely out of vengeance. He would have killed Raoul as well if Christine wouldn’t comply with him but then she kisses him and that’s the first touch of his life is like an epiphany for him so he let Christine go. That’s his story. As far as Christine goes, I found her selfish. Phantom taught her everything and made her who she was but the first chance she got to be with rich and handsome Raoul she takes it and leaves the man who made her behind “ he was bound to love you when he heard you sing” yes phantom was the villain but he was made into a villain by society and Christine herself.
I think we could be a little more charitable to Christine, especially in this movie as she was only 16 years old. She’s not worldly, she’s still an innocent who was fooled by the Phantom into believing he was an angel sent from her dead father. The Phantom is frankly just too much for her, he’s a very mentally damaged, complex, and dark man in more ways then one…he is her sexual awakening on one level, but he scares the living daylights out of her on another level. I don’t think she went with Raoul in the end because he’s rich and handsome, she felt safe with him, when she no longer felt safe with the Phantom as he’d just murdered a man…and she had a history with Raoul so they weren’t strangers. But you are completely right that it’s not Eriks fault that he doesn’t know how to love normally, that he has no emotional regulation and goes absolutely manic when threatened…that’s his defense mechanism, as he never experienced a healthy relationship or real love from anyone not even from his mother…so you can’t expect him to understand how to show love to another in a healthy way.
Honestly I probably would have stayed with the Phantom. Not because he was innocent, but because he needed someone to show him love. I would not marry him unless I saw some significant changes. But if someone had just taken the time to show him love earlier, he would not have killed all those people. He was no doubt a genius. A genius with good influences, becomes a great man. But a genius that knows nothing but hate, becomes a murderer. Just my thoughts.
I still can't believe they deleted this!!! This shows so much of the Phantom!
I think that they would have kept this in the movie.
Frr
It shows basically how he fell in love with Christine
I'm so upset they didn't put this in the 2004 film. It links in with the tune at the very end of the movie when Raoul notices the beautiful still-fresh rose at Christine’s grave.
I was thinking that too. I just watched it again for the first time in a while
nezuko chan, yea.
3 guesses who left it there.
It’s also the same tune that plays when he looks at the ring during the masquerade, and to the song in the end credits “Learn to Be Lonely”

No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears.
Shamed into solitude
Shunned by the multitude
I learned to listen
In my dark, my heart heard music.
I longed to teach the world
Rise up and reach the world
No one would listen
I alone could hear the music
Then at last, a voice in the gloom
Seemed to cry "I hear you;
I hear your fears,
Your torment and your tears."
She saw my loneliness
Shared in my emptiness
No one would listen
No one but her
Heard as the outcast hears

Another thing, I've had singing teachers that were not particularly "great." They weren't bad singers, but none of them were "great" as if they should be on stage. If they were great they would be professional singers and not teachers.
@@felixthecat2786 Okay, but ever since the book, he's been literally the greatest singer to ever live. He's multi-talented to a crazy extent and everyone would absolutely love him if only it weren't for his deformity. That's why it's so impactful and to strip that away, it kinda makes his reasons for being so horrible less easy to sympathize with. Especially when in this movie, his deformities look like a burn rather than something that would scare everyone to the extent it does. And to be clear, I still think this movie's fine and I like Gerard Butler as an actor. I just don't think his casting in this role specifically was the best decision
@@felixthecat2786 this movie is musical, but ofc that backstory exists… he not become her teacher to control her , rather, he was enchanted by her voice when she sang in secret so that no one could hear her, and that's why he wanted to help her because he saw the potential in her, and there is also an explanation why he didn't have any other students, he didn’t want to have students until the day when he heard christine
Perfectly performed by Gerard! R.I.P. Joel Schumacher but this scene SHOULD have been in the movie.
I love this song its my favorite song its so beautiful
This is just heart breaking...
If it’s so heartbreaking, then why did you leave him?
@@darthkurland We all do have our regrets.
Everyone hates on Gerard but it was this movie that got me into musical theatre 😍😍
Everyone hated him for not being a professional singer but I truly believe they picked a perfect actor. Gerard shows so much passion as the phantom through out the film. He may not have the best voice but still is so passionate
@Mcmessilove_37 I don't know what they means. He has amazing voice
Sir Webber told himself that he didn't care Butler is not a trained singer. He said what is important in the movie is to convey the feelings in a different way, and the emotions it evokes.
Cinema and musical theater are different.
I really liked this song and I never knew why they cut it out. I think maybe it gets us to know the Phantom a little too much and takes away his mystique.
They should make a new version with this song / scene in it. Beautiful
I wish this song wasn't exclusive to this. It fits the stage musical to perfection.
I had to think about how I feel like no one would listen or care about what I have to say but GOD always listens and he cares about me and how I feel!! I just think that's amazing... that the all mighty God, the creator of everything cares about every single one of us and listens when we talk to him. 💞
Hail Cthulhu.
Jesus is the only one that understands me too, which is why nothing could ever make me leave him. Because It is deeply personal
This is the melody that plays after Why So Silent, when Erik looks at Chriatine and they share this moment..until he breaks it and goes "your chains are still mine, you belong to me!"
Teniendo a un hombre así a mi lado como el fantasma que fuera mi maestro,mi ángel mi compañero de vida,que me protegiera definitivamente me hubiera ido con el
This would have been a GREAT addition to the already great musical.
The question is where would it fit within the context of the show?
Ah es simplemente maravillosa 😭 de nuevo siento que la estoy viendo por primera ver 💔
Why did they delete this scene? Now that I know about it, this the story of Phantom shown on the movie doesn't make sense and it's not the full perspective. I feel so disappointed with the movie I have beloved.
If he could sing this to Christine instead of being cruel to other people, she would stay with him because they understood eachother. He was the only person who loved her truly and cared for her career, Raoul didn't care if she sings or not, he was acting just like a jealous teenager.
Aww, poor baby!
Every one of you are right. And the people who didn't understand why Gerard was chosen, I think Lord Weber got exactly what he wanted, an actor. An actor who displayed the phantom as a passionate man. Go back and look at the scene on the rooftop as he hides and watched Christine and Raoul declare their love.
And while I'm complaining, why wasn't Patrick chosen to be in the anniversary show at Royal Albert Hall?
Just sayin
Best place for this song after she left his hideaway. Perfect song at that point because it shows his heart
I had the DVD. How did I miss this deleted scene?! I always LOVED the music but the lyrics were too hopeless. This at least gives a story about the phantom. Came at the right time though. I'm planning my wedding next year and it's going to be POTO themed ❤️
nonostante non sia una scena presente nell'opera originale, il musical s'intende, è davvero un pezzo magnifico che nel film non avrebbe affatto guastato!!
*tear*...my heart goes out to the beautiful man with the beautiful mind who makes beautiful things.
I LOVE YOU, GERARD, ALWAYS. ❤️🌹
So beautiful I'm not gonna cry I'm not going cry 😭😭😭😭
He draws good sketches of Christine.
Indeed, he's an artist!
Me: ‘Scuse me, Mr. Phantom, we can kinda hear you…
Erik: Yeah, well that was a soliloquy, so you’re the one who’s being rude…
I heard this a look I looked at it 3 times your great awesome
they totally should! it needed to be in there, it shows that he's really tourtured by the world. i'm kinda irratated that it wasn't in there...
Best song ever ❤❤❤❤❤
@thatARTISTICguy I understand what you are saying,but he loved Christine long before letting Raul and Christine go. He looked over her since the time she came to the opera house, he tutored her,left her gifts, protected her from the hate and harm her endured at the hands of others. Did you forget that he was cruelly whipped, abused physically, emotionally, mentally, mocked, spit on, laughed at, and publicly humiliated in a human freak circus, and shunned daily. He was labeled as a "devil child" by the circus master that profited from this and abandoned by his own mother because of his physical appearance. Society abused him, mistreated him, shunned him, and treated him like a beast of the wild. Society made him an angry, bitter, outcast and you say he is not to be forgiven because he acted out the way he did. The only love,kindness, and gentleness he was shown was from Madame and Christine, and even Christine's love was of a fickle nature .
Now, I ask you how would you feel and be if you endured all the Phantom did? To live a life hiding from the world, living alone and learning to be lonely.😢 No,my empathy is for the Phantom
This song is so touching to me...
i want to give him a hug:(
Beautiful beautiful song! They should have kept it!!!! So much emotion I love it🥹💜
I think this song would have taken place right after Giry tells Raoul The Phantom's story and right before Christine goes to her father's grave. His "Red Death" costume is out, but the little Opera stage he has is set up for "Don Juan Triumphant". To me it makes the most sense for it to be there.
Needs to be at a time when he's not angry. When he gets angry, he recovers quickly when it comes to Christine. So insert it after he returns her upstairs; he realizes she understands him, since she returns his mask to preserve most of his dignity.
@@charlenest.pierre That would be a great place! Thanks.😊
Assisti o filme e fiquei mal pelo Fantasma. Agora, vendo essa cena excluida do filme, coitado! Vivia num mundo sozinho e sem nenhum tipo de afeto! Música linda e que te toca no fundo do coração! Se entrasse essa cena no filme, todos iriam torcer pelo Fantasma ficar com a Cristine e não Raul.
This man needs therapy to bad it was 1848
I agree that they should have kept this in. Actually, they did include a slightly different version at the end credits, sung by Minnie Driver.
Headcanon accepted my goodness
I can listen, my baby Erik! ❤❤
This song is sad 😭
i think it was before the chandeler breaks because before he goes up there he sets his little set on fire and in this scene his set isn't but his figure and christines are in the scene!
this makes me cry sniff but it has a story of his life
@theshiy1 True, but we also see why he is the way he is in Mme. Giry's story of how she saved him from the circus. It does show more of a reason why he loves Christine so much, though.
I think Erik looks at Christine because he's the only person who believes she would make out love for him when his mother and stepfather wouldn't.
Imagine if this could be inserted after the part Christine took his mask off of him the first time
Warner Bros. Should release a cut of the film with this scene in it
Love this
Poor Erik! :'(
Indeed 😭
I always wondered where this would be in the movie itself, clearly after he found out Raoul and her kissed but i imagine it was the part right before the Masqurade in as we can see the play for Don Juan Triumphant is in the back but still in the process, and if you watch the scene where Erik and Christine walk up the stairs to meet, the instrumental part of this plays for a bit before he gets mad.
At this point he isn't mad at her, he believes that she is just being fooled by Raoul since he is handsome and only now noticed her both as a person and a talent.
If anyone has any thoughts when this is go ahead and comment, im actually curious.
I wish this was in the movie
Favorite song.
I think its after he lets her go and before they come into his lair. It's a good song I wish they had left it in.
Ohhhhhhhhh that makes sense. It explains everything, including his clothing, the fact that the rose is still present, and the fact that the song is in past tense. I guess that also explains why they took it out-it implies that he put his mask & wig back on (and it also showed spares in the background) which would mean that Meg can’t find the mask and be like 😱
@@Eo-bo6sf YEAH MAN
So would I. I would have gone with the phantom too!!
Whatever phantom did (murdering people) cannot be overlooked however he hasn’t known anything but cruelty of the society at young age and loneliness thereafter. And then he listens to Christine sing and he gets mesmerised by her. His mind doesn’t work like a normal person with morals and ethics. He is obsessed with Christine. The first murder he did was of Joseph and he did it out of irritation as his repeated demands to let Christine sing as lead were denied and Joseph was almost about to catch him. Later when he sees Christine and Raoul he just looses it completely because he couldn’t believe that she would betray him like that as she is the only person for the entire world for him so his next murder of peiangi is purely out of vengeance. He would have killed Raoul as well if Christine wouldn’t comply with him but then she kisses him and that’s the first touch of his life is like an epiphany for him so he let Christine go. That’s his story. As far as Christine goes, I found her selfish. Phantom taught her everything and made her who she was but the first chance she got to be with rich and handsome Raoul she takes it and leaves the man who made her behind “ he was bound to love you when he heard you sing” yes phantom was the villain but he was made into a villain by society and Christine herself.
I think we could be a little more charitable to Christine, especially in this movie as she was only 16 years old.
She’s not worldly, she’s still an innocent who was fooled by the Phantom into believing he was an angel sent from her dead father. The Phantom is frankly just too much for her, he’s a very mentally damaged, complex, and dark man in more ways then one…he is her sexual awakening on one level, but he scares the living daylights out of her on another level.
I don’t think she went with Raoul in the end because he’s rich and handsome, she felt safe with him, when she no longer felt safe with the Phantom as he’d just murdered a man…and she had a history with Raoul so they weren’t strangers.
But you are completely right that it’s not Eriks fault that he doesn’t know how to love normally, that he has no emotional regulation and goes absolutely manic when threatened…that’s his defense mechanism, as he never experienced a healthy relationship or real love from anyone not even from his mother…so you can’t expect him to understand how to show love to another in a healthy way.
POV me the hole time ILL LISTEN, IM LISTENING RIGHT NOW
Honestly I probably would have stayed with the Phantom. Not because he was innocent, but because he needed someone to show him love. I would not marry him unless I saw some significant changes. But if someone had just taken the time to show him love earlier, he would not have killed all those people. He was no doubt a genius. A genius with good influences, becomes a great man. But a genius that knows nothing but hate, becomes a murderer. Just my thoughts.
noooo why did they delete it it fit so perfect omg
