Underdressed Christine

[igenlode]

It's just occurred to me that Raoul's response to finding Christine in her dressing-room wearing little more than a dressing-gown over her underwear is "you need to get changed if we're going out"; the Phantom's response in the same situation is "come to me" :-p
I feel that this tells us something about the amount of respect they have for her... although the fandom would probably say that it shows who is the 'real' man!

Thanks for reminding me of that long post I keep meaning to write about people hating Raoul and preferring the Phantom because they perceive the Phantom to be "manlier" than Raoul. :P

On the topic of respect, it's interesting to note that Raoul's duet with Christine in the musical is about love, whereas the Phantom's two duets with her are respectively about control and lust. Raoul is the one who respects Christine as a person, not the Phantom.
