Analysis of Susan Kay's Paris Ghost Opera based on Irving Goffman's hot theory of stigma

The present article examines Susan Kay's novel The Ghost of the Paris Opera (1990) based on Gangman's hot theory (1963). Goffman addresses the issue of social relations. He is born and therefore rejected by society, his abilities are ignored and he is deprived of a terrifying and inhuman ghost.The present article will try to answer this main question with a descriptive-analytical anthropological approach. According to the results of the research, the most important stigmas and labels in the Paris Opera ghost novel are feelings of disgust, rejection, anti-currentism, and social dissent in the novel. It is Eric 's perception of character that often has a psychological and cultural basis, a hot feeling of destiny and, consequently, an arousal of kineticism and revenge that surrounds Eric more than anything else. According to the research, Eric suffers from the stigma of discrediting social identity, which dominates his actions and relationships throughout the novel.
