Why did Christine Daae faint after seeing a female statue?
In Phantom of the Opera
Christine Daae faints into Phantom's arms.(below)
Why would a statue provoke such a reaction?
Best Answer
I've only seen the movie once, because I prefer the musical, but the only fainting I remember is when Christine sees that the phantom has a doll looking at lot like Christine and wearing what looks like a wedding dress. My understanding is that seeing it gives Christine a look at what her future will look like if the phantom gets his way, and as that is shocking to her she faints.

Answer 2
First of all, this is the first time she meets this guy who she barely knows and he already shows her a life sized doll who looks exactly like her wearing a wedding dress. She's just really shocked to see this (and maybe a little creeped out?). (This isn’t shown in the movie, but in the musical the doll can move, that’s when she faints). Second, it’s the 18th/19th century and it’s a period drama, it’s gonna be dramatic.
But seriously, it's really not that deep, she's just in shock.
