The Phantom of the Opera: Post 2

In the story someone has been found dead in the cellars, he was hanged. Everyone again suspected the ghost, but no one knew the motive exept for the managers, the reader, and the Phantom. The reason was that they refused to pay the ghost his monthy allowence os 20,000 francs, and they also sold the Phantom's box. Those were his only rules. Later worse thins started to happen to them for not following the Phantom's rules, one of these thins includes the star of the opera, Carlotta having a frog-like sound emmit from her mouth, Christeine was the understudy.



Incase you were wondering, a box in an opera is one of the high up seats so that you don't have to look at the back of someone else's head while you are watching the play, they can be bought and rented. One thing that has been bothering the back of my mind is how big the opera is, the book decribes it to be huge. The cellars alone are five stories deep. Later in the story, Christeine (one of the main characters) shows Raoul (another main character) around the opera and is is described as being stories and stories tall, so I guess to actually understand how big it is you would have to go there and see it in real life.
