Can you help me think of an idea for my level 3 question about Phantom of the Opera?

Level 3 questions are generally thought-based questions that ask the reader to draw the material together thematically (as opposed to level 1, or fact-based questions, and level 2, or inference-based questions). Some questions you might consider are the following:

• How does Erik represent Christine's darker, more evil self? How does he embody her deepest dreams and desires?


• What is the religious symbolism of Christine (a Christ-like figure, as her name implies, who redeems the Phantom) and of Erik (a dark figure of the underworld)? What are the book's larger religious messages?


• In The Phantom of the Opera, the company is producing Faust. How is Faust similar thematically to what is happening in The Phantom of the Opera? Which character in Phantom is most like Faust?


• How does the author humanize the figure of Erik in the end?


• What does Christine's vacillation between Raoul and Erik symbolize, and what does it suggest about her character and desires?
