Monster ImageryĪs the tale progresses, Erik is described by his friend the Persian less as a human being and more as a "monster." His past history as a torturer and killer, and the sadistic way in which he frightens, stalks, and sometimes murders people, are factors in the Persian's decision to apply that label. At one point, Raoul shoots a pistol toward the glowing eyes and manages to wound what everyone thinks is a cat. Frequently it means that Erik is spying on them.
It is perhaps this trait that allows Erik to see so well in the dark and to move so freely underground.įrom time to time, Christine and Raoul see a pair of glowing yellow or orange eyes. They glow in the dark like a cat's, and seem somewhat luminous. One of the oddities about Erik, and a reason that many of the characters think he is not entirely human, is his eyes.
