He is not.
Raoul had every right to ask, since Christine was wearing Eriks ring, which could mean she was married, although she said she'd never marry. Besides, Raoul asked, because he believed Christine to be used by a stranger. Not Christine being an easy woman.
And I find Raoul not guilty of being an ass by reason of love, which is the strongest kind of insanity.
Chiming in....
Raoul is NOT my favourite character by far and though I may say in passionate explanation of why Christine should have stayed with Erik that I hate the boy, I do not actually hate Raoul.
What I do hate, is when people write their books or their fan-fiction and make Raoul a jerk on purpose just so you want Christine to be with Erik. The choice was supposed to be hard. Wouldn't be that hard if Raoul was a jerk and Erik was oh so sweet. No. Erik is a murderous psycho which can lead him to being a jerk (i.e. throwing her to the ground) or he can be disgustingly sweet (kissing her feet). Raoul is a young twitter-patted kid that has absolutely no idea what's going on ever. Which can lead him to sticking his foot in his mouth and not really believing everything Christine says, but still he can be sweet. But he's not really a jerk. Maybe a little stupid sometimes but not a jerk or an ass.
Okay. Point made. My apologies.
