At the end of thenovel the Opera Ghost is talking to the Persian. The Persians asks Erik why he decided to sparethe live of himself, as well as the life of his enemy, Viscount Raoul de Chagny. I(Opera Ghost),felt her tears dropping on my forehead..., I took off my mask and she didnt die..., I then heard hersay, poor, unhappy Erik and from then on I was only a poor dog,(263).
