i mean like i said on the question b 4, he would have treated her like she waz so special!! if he knew he had her and she wasn't going anywhere he would give her freedom! he loved her, her whole life. he waz gentle 2 her b 4 and then he lost his temper and then she met raoul and he is very protective over her and he didn't want 2 let her go. so he thought that if he fought her and kept her then she would choose him... not raoul. but, he never had a life! he doesn't know anything but music! she taught him love and compassion... he will never, ever find someone else though. She is the only 1 that saw past his face.

bendaimmortal picked The Phantom:
I think the Phantom's love for her was more genuine and stronger than Raoul's probably ever was or could be, which I believe makes a significant difference. Also, he shared with her something Raoul didn't; music. Their relationship with music was something I don't think Raoul could even begin to understand much less give her/join her in.

The Phantom definitely had more to offer her than Raoul, more in common with her, than Raoul, and I'm sure that if only she loved him and was his wife, he would've tried all his might to change himself into a better man to make her happy. He even says that in Leroux.

"I think her relationship with Raoul is a romantic awakening as a teenager but her pull towards the Phantom is very sexual, very deep, very soulful union."
-Joel Schumacher (this film's director)

GarlicWreath picked Or Raoul:
Raoul. He was kind, loving, brave, ready to die to save her, to give her freedom. Phantom dragged Chrissy around, pushed her to the floor, called her as viper, and tried to force her to marry him. Forced bride = raped bride.

DamianLUVR picked The Phantom:
well Raoul could give her the freedom and normal life she always wanted... but The Phantom could have given her a more heartfelt and genuine love. he loved her more than Raoul did... like by far.

@GarlicWreath were we watching the same movie??

MissSaigon picked The Phantom:
Raoul may have been able to give her a life in the real world not at the bottom of the opera house but where was Raoul's love for Christine? He may have said it but did it sound like realistic love how much did he say it too her apart from 'All I Ask Of you'? The Phantom did even when he wasn't with her now to me that is love! Raoul to me was just another character in the story

Masked127 picked Or Raoul:
Raoul definitely is.. For starters the love there is mutual.. They are childhood sweethearts, Raoul loves Christine for who she is as a person regardless of her voice.. And he does everything he can to protect her, even if that means risking his own life.. Take going to the lair, that in itself was risky, and even when he is on the edge of death he still thinks about Christine's well being "Don't throw your life away for my sake"..

Yes I do see the Phantom has a greater understanding of her regarding her music, and his love for her is a great one.. But she could never be happy with him because she loved Raoul...
