Sanity

Finished reading the novel "The Phantom of the Opera" by Gaston Leroux.

Great story plot. Love the climax being created chapter by chapter. Its mystery which reveals itself bit by bit in the first part of the novel, which hangs the reader's curosity in the midst of its heightening mystery.

and then an abundance by abundance in its later part, which feeds the reader with surprises of horror.

Leroux claimed that this story was a true story. The building exists in Paris, the phantom of the opera does exist in Paris.

Well, the building really exists. And it is known to be one of the greatest architecture building. The whole layout of the Opera House is so fascinating that it inpsired Leroux to write this famous novel.

REgarding the exsitence of the phantom of the opera whose real name is Erik, i have no idea for its credibility despite the writer's claim and the prologue he wrote in the novel. i could not find any strong suppporting document. He even claimed that it is this phantom of the opera who constructed this famous Paris Opera House.

One thing for sure, i am even more keen of going to Paris. I want to go to visit the Opera House and really feel its atmosphere and smell its air.

I just feel I am utterly fascinated with the whole thing. I could say I am going to be obessed with this novel.

But dun know why, i feel utterly sad after reading the whole novel.

sanity, i think.

i could feel the phantom's strong sense of loneliness and the want to be loved.

probably tat's why i'm starting to get sick of blogging.

but well, i'm still blogging.
