Can you think of any others? Let me know! Because I can't. Here are the similarities that I can see: first, the Beast and the Phantom are both seen as monsters initially second, Belle / Christine see beyond that. I love this idea! Sure, I'm not 100% convinced by it – but fairytale-based conspiracy theories are always fun. The Phantom of the Opera is based on Beauty and the Beast. This theory is based on the mysterious relationship that Madame Giry and the Phantom seem to have – what went on between them before Christine came into the picture? There definitely seems to be more history there than a one-time chance encounter … clearly, they had a child together! And Meg's father isn't really mentioned so … if you don't think about it too much, it's infallible. Madame Giry and the Phantom have a child – the Phantom then falls obsessively in love with their daughter's best friend, and Madame Giry is okay with it? Maybe best to not dig too deep. This is actually a pretty disturbing theory. I chose to theorize! You can decide whether I need a tin hat or not. You can either take the story of the love-sick Opera Ghost at face value, or theorize about possible alternatives.
The Phantom of the Opera is a book-then-musical that leaves quite a lot of questions unanswered.
