It is a symbol of the phantoms unwillingness to share his pain. He uses it as a crutch so he can be an emotional introvert.

The mask is a symbol because of the phantom. The phantom wears a mask to cover his deformed face. He kind of hides behind it. The mask symbolises the phantom hiding from things, like life, how he looks and himself.

Because the whole story sort of reveals around the phantom and the phantom wears the mask, sort of a mysterious symbol...

Because that's what the phantom wears.

It isn't. It is simply a prop to suggest a deformed face.

Not only is he hidding his face but he is hidding himself from all the emotional pain he went through as a kid.
