indirect characterization

Langdon is an american who simply is writing about a amazing figure in Paris. Langdon is yet to be proven to be ignorant. Langdon is still known to be educated and wise but in Sophie's view : is quite useless. For instance, when langdon quickly asks Sophie about her understanding, " Yes, I saw the initials P.S. once. When i was very young"(brown 112). Langdon has only proven himself to be wise enough to crack this mystery with help other than Sophie. Langdon's life is now a priority for Sophie, for Langdon will be the key to solving why her grandfather.
As Langdon was trying to escape from the police of Paris everyone knew where his priority to go was.for instance, Langdon notices that the pathway to safety is blocked by," ..Blocked by a couple of DPJC police cars"(Brown 114). As someone who is trying to escape from the Paris policemen it is wise to be in the united state's embassy. Due to this it makes his actions predictable but will prove himself not guilty towards many things subjected to him already.
Langdon is new to Paris which makes him nothing more but a confused man in Paris. Langdon can only guess on the ideas of his imagination. Langdon also relies on others mind's to communicate wisely. Langdon also relies on the ideas and beliefs or possibly the wisdom/knowledge of Paris. Everything including history is new to Langdon so the only thing he could rely on his understanding his purpose and leaving Paris due to the amount of knowledge hey may not have making him immobile as others but in a different way.for instance when the agent asks langdon if he has visited the monument he says, " No, I haven't..."(Brown 16)

  1. How does a Robert Landon being American in Paris affect the way he is treated? Good job on everything else.
