Why does Raoul buy the monkey?
Raoul bought it because he remembered Christine talking about it in one of her stories of the Phantom. But, as for the actual *presence in the Phantom's lair* of a music box in the shape of a barrel organ with an attached figure of a monkey playing the cymbals–your guess is pretty much as good as mine.
Thereof, did madame giry love the phantom?
She is a fairly intermediate character in the novel, although her role is much increased in Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. Madame Giry is also a character in the 2010 musical Love Never Dies, a sequel to The Phantom of the Opera.

The Phantom decided that the happiness of Christine lies with Raoul and not with him. In an act of love, he lets her go. The ending scene shows how even after years, the Phantom still remembers Christine and loves her.
People also ask what is the age difference between the phantom and christine?
In the same regard, due to the Phantom's childhood connection with Madame Giry, it's also safe to say that the Phantom is at least 15-20 years older than Christine. So to recap, a 30-40-year-old man has been preying upon a 15-20-year-old girl, kidnaps her and reveals a twisted scenario of secretly marrying her.
How old is Christine Daae? 15 years old
In the Lofficier translation of the novel, Christine's age is given as 15 years old.
Keeping this in consideration, what is madame giry's first name?
Antoinette
In The Phantom of Manhattan, her first name is given as Antoinette.
In respect to this, why does the phantom's hair change? This Phantom, like the original novel, was deformed at birth, and made this mask himself out of what appears to be a fine, shiny porcelain. In the Joel Schumacher film adaption, the mask is made of leather. The Phantom also wears a wig with this mask, as his actual hair is a few white wisps on his balding head.
In respect to this, what mental illness does the phantom have?
It is Tobia's contention that Christine suffers from "major depressive disorder with psychotic features" as well as experiencing the different stages of grief - denial, bargaining, depression, anger and acceptance - as a result of the death of her father five years before.
Did Christine and the Phantom sleep together? It is heavily implied by the film that he and Christine have sex after he initially leads her through the mirror post-debut. He is sleeping with this emotionally vulnerable and confused girl under the pretense of being someone he is not. This is rape.
Then, why must raoul keep his hand at the level of his eyes?
The instruction to "Keep your hand at the level of your eyes" is another reference from the book, in which the Phantom was adept at disposing of victims with the "Punjab lasso." Keeping one's hand at the level of one's eyes kept the Punjab lasso away from the victim's neck and was the only defense.
