If Christine chose the Phantom instead of Raoul, I think their love wouldn't be romantic for long time. Because the Phantom's heart was deeply hurt and oversensitive, it's very easy for him to doubt whether Christine love other man. Plus, he loved Christine insanely, I guess he would kill Christine someday to own her soul and body forever.

donator,donor,contributor的分別

donator, donor 和 contributor 在英英字典上,原則上是3個近義詞
如果要仔細分辯
contributor means a person who give gift or payment to a common fund or collection
例如義賣,或者任何蒐集物品者,所以比較廣義,甚至貢獻idea的人都算數
甚至giver,presenter,donor都可以相通
donator首重慈善事業.
donator(AmE)美國英語中反而指的是幫助機器運作的裝置
