I’ve seen and agreed with posts calling Eric a “melodramatic sewer goblin” but I’m less than a quarter of the way through this book and nearly every adaptation I’ve seen has toned it down. Holy shit.

Wait. I think the Phantom was actually standing in the shadows tossing skulls at Raoul like he was bowling. Eric seriously? That is one of the most ridiculously conspicuous things you could have done. If Raoul didn’t think something weird was going on before, he certainly does now.

Raoul probably thought Christine had a really shy and kind of weird boyfriend who could play music really well. Now he thinks she’s being stalked by Satan. What have you gained here?
