The Phantom of the Opera Book Report
The future ruler of United Kingdom is about to pop into this world any time soon, and his or her parents, not to mention the whole world, are already excited. Indeed, Kate Middleton and Prince William seem like the eager and loving about-to-be parents that they are that it's almost hard to imagine that they almost didn't end up together. Remember their controversial split in 2007?

Four years after William and Kate started dating, the two had split in March 2007, not giving any reason why. Reports only claimed that their breakup was amicable and mutually agreed upon, but there were speculations that the royal bachelor preferred to act like one rather than be tied to one girl.
So what was the real reason why the two separated and subsequently reunite?
The answer, according to a new book titled "Kate" by Marcia Moody, is because William decided to take a different direction from his father, Prince Charles.
"When his father Charles was wooing Diana and the relationship reached a crossroads, Prince Philip told him that he needed to take action one way or another. And Charles proposed," excerpts of the book obtained by the Daily Mail read.
“When William was faced with a similar dilemma, he went the other way..."
So he celebrated his newly obtained freedom by standing on a table at a club and shouting "I'm free!" while surrounded by a bevy of nearly naked beauties.
And while William got drunk and partied hard, Kate consoled her broken heart by signing up for a charity challenge with an all-female dragon boat racing crew called the Sisterhood. She attended other functions, and even had gone to parties that touted her singlehood, but it was with the Sisterhood that helped distract her from the pain.
"Kate was very down and I think the training became her therapy. Kate had always put William first and she said this was a chance to do something for herself," her fellow rower Emma Sayle said in the book.
William, meanwhile, was having second thoughts.
"Mindful,

    I can see that in Taming Of The Shrew, petruchio thawts Kate with his powerful traditional marriage sense of the elizabethan times, whereas in Then Things, a more liberal modern production, Kat actually gets the chance to challenge patrick because women actually have rights within this time period. But the outcomes are still different. She does end up loving Patrick and they do genuinely want to be together, but the same cannot be said for Kate and Petruchio. The two clearly don't like each other. Take it all into consideration, at what point do you see Kate lusting or not trying to escape from Petruchio? Never. The theme of masculinity and femininity has such a strong message in today's society, Ten Things is a fantastic representation of our reality now, but for Kate, we can see the truth in what came before our times. Both productions clearly outline the difference now with femininity and…

    To begin with, Kate Morrison is plagued by the guilt of her bother, Matt’s broken dreams. As a consequence, the guilt causes many emotional problems in her life. For instance, the constant mental pressures of guilt causes Kate’s “crisis” during one of her zoology lectures. “Because if things had turned out differently, it would have been Matt standing in front of them” (Lawson, pg. 200). During a lecture, Kate has a flashback about a childhood visit to the ponds with Matt. It is clear that Kate feels guilty for leaving Matt, who was her idol as well as her brother, behind. He taught her not only to see nature but to observe and understand it; and Kate feels that it is injustice that she should be teaching others when Matt taught her “everything” she knows. Furthermore, Katie is always in an emotional battle with her own mind due to the guilt she felt for Matt’s situation. “I had betrayed him, that was how I felt” (Lawson, pg. 201). Even though she knows Matt had caused his own demise, deep inside her mind, she feels that it was her own fault. This feeling causes her to fight with herself. Her situation shows that Kate could never come to terms with what had happened to her family and what had become of the Morrison dream. Finally, Kate’s guilt causes her to lose communication with Matt, which hurts their relationship. “What are you actually researching Kate? I don’t think you’ve ever said” (Lawson, pg. 274). It is plainly obvious that Matt is interested in…
