Teabing, who has always lived a privileged life, convinces himself that his money entitles him to the knowledge of the Grail’s location. After his true identity is known, Teabing turns into a living example of the way wealth can corrupt. Soon enough, though, Brown reveals that Teabing is a murderer. He was able to manage a flight to escape Langdon and Neveu from the police. This is of interest for their investigation.
In that house he has a enormous, book-lined study. He has a gorgeous house, as big as the white house. Teabing is became a good friend of Langdon and Neveu. Both brilliant and sexually attractive, Sophie combines a masculine toughness with typically feminine qualities. She feels the loss of her family deeply and mourns the death of her grandfather. But at the same time, she is caring and compassionate. Sophie is quick-witted, agile, devious when she needs to be, and physically assertive, as when she helps to disable Silas in the chateau. In their view, the male and the female worked together toward a goal, without the female being subordinate to the male in any way.īoth Sophie and Langdon, like the Mona Lisa, exhibit male and female traits: for example, Langdon’s headiness is balanced by Sophie’s real world know-how. In this way, they echo Teabing’s and Langdon’s ideas about the partnership of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Sophie and Langdon form the male and female halves of a single protagonist, and their goals never diverge. He is a good man who you can trust, as is Sophie, his female partner and love interest.įrom Langdon and Teabing, Sophie learns that pagan religions and the Priory valued balance between male and female. Langdon, is the main character in this novel. For this reason, he is balanced well by Sophie, who transforms his intellectual abilities into survival skills that are applicable to real life. He would rather think about codes and symbols than figure out how to escape the Louvre under the eyes of policemen. Although he is seen as a sex symbol in the academic world, Langdon is clumsy and inept with guns and weapons and lacks resolve when it comes to planning and executing action. In the novel’s many moments of uncertainty, Langdon’s presence is consistently reassuring.
This trustworthiness makes him stand out in a narrative in which the author casts doubt on the motivations of every major character except Langdon and Sophie. Langdon is trustworthy, as is Sophie, his female counterpart and love interest. Langdon, the novel’s protagonist, anchors the story.
