This is more a story of obsession than it is a story of love. Erik wants nothing more than to have Christine, even to own her and not allow her to be around others. If he can’t have what he wants he wants all other people to suffer as he is. 
I watched the musical of Phantom of the Opera as a child and although I probably didn’t understand all of the details at that time I still think it was a much more interesting portrayal.
