Chapter 17
Explanation and Analysis:

The Phantom of the Opera is written in realistic, straightforward, and sometimes grandiose prose. Leroux provides detailed character descriptions, especially of the Phantom, whose face few have glimpsed but most fear. He treats the opera house with the same attention to detail; each scene includes some mention of secret rooms, trapdoors, or chambers.
