* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Christine and [[OedipusComplex Madeleine]], although in the portrait of Madeleine that Erik shows Christine, Madeleine wears an "I am a spoiled asshole" look that lessens the resemblance.

* LikeParentLikeSpouse: Erik's relationship with his mother is pretty twisted; then he goes and falls madly, passionately and irrevocably in love with Christine - who happens, by pure coincidence, ''to resemble Madeline exactly.'' Huh.

* GenerationXerox: Played with. [[spoiler:One of the things that quietly confirms to Raoul that Charles is Erik's son and not his own, biologically speaking, is seeing a portrait of Erik's father (also named Charles), who died before Erik was born (just like Erik did before Charles de Chagny was born). The two Charleses look nearly identical, and Erik likely would have as well had he not been born horribly disfigured. He carries the DNA for it, at any rate.]]

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* CompellingVoice: Erik's voice, UpToEleven here, almost pornographically so. Literally ''everyone'' comments on how sexual, unearthly and hypnotic it is, even when he only says one word.

Added DiffLines:

* DentedIron: Erik, by the time the events of Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera come around. Despite being well into middle age, he's still noted as cutting an impressive, intimidating figure and he easily weaves his way through the labyrinthine secret passages he personally installed in the Opera House, but it's ''also'' clear that he isn't nearly as physically capable as he was [[spoiler:before his poisoning at the hands of the Khanum.]] Between this and his addiction to morphine, it isn't a surprise that he quickly declines after [[spoiler:his first heart attack.]]
