Mark Brown did a beautiful job of having Robert Langdon, the
main character, develop through the story of The Da Vinci Code. The main storyline idea is that when an
organization wants to get their hands on the holy grail. Of course Robert had
to face mainly challenges along the way. Also he changed immensely throughout
the book in many ways.
Self Doubt was just one feeling that was expressed was when Robert got dragged into an investigation he
could care less about. It was even stated
on page 27 that he thought about what he could be doing on a Sunday morning
instead. This feeling changed in Robert
later once he had an option to stop, but he continued the adventure.
Although caring about something is important self doubt is
even more necessary. Towards the
beginning of the book he feels like he can’t solve the puzzle. During the end of the book expressed on page
395 he is solving mysteries left and right.
This affected the story because it seemed to progress faster at the end
when Robert was solving problems quicker.
Both of these factors are important in the change of Robert throughout
the story. Self doubt changing in a
character reminded me of the Alex Rider series.
Alex got introduced to being a spy after his uncle died. At the beginning of the book Alex didn’t
think he should be a spy, and didn’t believe in himself. Towards the end of the
book and even into the next book Alex had a choice to stop being a spy. When he chose to continue it demonstrated
that he had enough confidence in himself.
This related to The Da Vinci Code in the fact that Robert was
trying to solve the puzzles more than anybody at the end of the book.
Both of these reasons are examples of Robert Langdon changed
as the book progressed. In every book there is always characters
changing and these were just a few of the many examples of how he changed.
