Christine has a soft spot for the phantom and unknowingly he took it the wrong way. The Phantom being in such a state of fake love with Christine he kidnapped her to get away as if she was also in love with him. This shows what love and thinking in you’re in love can do. Last but not least, Drama. Drama is involved with everything we do and in the story as well.
