A final thing on the Phantom; the reason that Erik gave for skinning Joseph alive was that he nearly killed Christine with a falling sandbag; however, he also added that he blamed him for the incident. The other scene involves him murdering the opera critic for giving Christine a negative review on her role as Margeurite. Before this scene, Erik was sleeping with a prostitute, whom he paid her to let him call her Christine. Does his later killing of Harrison come off as hollow, considering the fact that he had no qualms with sleeping with prostitutes? Keep in mind, this was before he found out about her fiance.
