1496 Words6 Pages

Robert Langdon is pretty used to some weird things. He is a professor of symbology after all. So, when he gets a phone call in the middle of the night, with a mysterious caller questioning him about the Illuminati, he is only slightly surprised, only because so few people know about them. The Illuminati are a secret society who believe in science above God, and therefore are enemies of the Catholic Church. The members that they know of consisted of Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Bernini and so many more who will stay anonymous forever.(38) He is soon shocked when he receives a fax and on it is a picture of a man, murdered, stripped naked and bears a brand on his chest like Langdon has never seen before. It is an ambigram of the word Illuminati. …show more content…

There is evidence that the antimatter is hidden somewhere in the city. As the pope had died recently, Conclave is being held to elect a new one, so the city is full with reports, cardinals and spectators from around the world. As they are making preparation to leave, Kohler gets a flare up of his lifelong sickness, he is unable to join Langdon and Vittoria in the Vatican. Soon after they arrive, they try to convince the head of the Swiss Guard, Olivetti, that they need to evacuate the city immediately. Langdon involves the “camerlengo”, who is the person in charge of the Vatican until the new pope is elected, and while he is explaining the situation, the camerlengo gets a call from someone from the Illuminati. The caller informs them that the antimatter is hidden somewhere in the city, but that he has also kidnapped four cardinals, the four who were favored to become the new pope. He plans on murdering them one by one on the hour at 8, 9,10, and 11 p.m., and leaving them at four different churches all around Rome. Then, at midnight the bomb will go off, and it will demolish the city, as well as the billions of dollars worth of artwork that are centuries

Temkin, Abraham Fellman). Freemasons were members of a secret society which cultivated a tradition of doctrines and symbols. The deism of Freemasonry contrasted Church doctrines and conservative Protestants and Jews believed the rituals of Freemasons contradicted their religious beliefs (Sefton D. Temkin, Abraham

  • Imagery In Erik Larson's The Devil In The White City

    949 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Devil in the White City portrays the Chicago World’s Fair as a significant event that set itself in America’s history books as one of its greatest achievements. Though the Fair itself was a sensation alone, with all its dazzling features and worldwide attention, the Fair was not the only significant even happening in Chicago at the time. This event however involved murders hidden by the shining brilliance of the Fair. The murderer in question, arguably America’s first notable serial killer, was H. H. Holmes. Through the use of descriptive imagery, the juxtaposition between him and the World’s Fair, and the one self-defining allusion of Holmes, Erik Larson provides the reasons why Holmes truly is the Devil of the White City.
