Since The Phantom just wants his beloved to be happy, and so neither Christine nor Raoul have to die. And suddenly it's An Aesop about how you can turn back. For Raoul, it's the willingness to risk his own life for Christine's freedom. For Christine, it's the knowledge that she has to choose between saving herself or her fiancé.
