Madie Levine AP Lang 10-5-15 Devil in the White City Throughout Erik Larson’s Devil in the White City, the juxtaposition of dark and light exemplifies itself literally through the obvious physical dynamics of the plot as well as figuratively through the motives, personas, and circumstances of the contrasting central characters- Daniel H. Burnham, the renowned and capable chief architect and and Dr. H.H. Holmes, the manipulating urban serial killer. Larson depicts perfectly the intertwining of both the “black” and “white” moods of Chicago during the World’s Fair- telling the stories of the two men who possess distinctly differently focused fates but are indefinitely linked by the common phenomenon of the ground-breaking fair. While Burnham

Erik Larson writes “Beneath the gore and smoke and loom, this book is about the evanescence of life, and why some men choose to fill their brief allotment of time engaging in the impossible, others in the manufacture of sorrow”(Larson xi). In the book The Devil and the White City, Erik Larson tells a story of 2 very determined men, Daniel Burnham and H. Holmes, using their talents and determination to create good results, but also bad results; one being a very successful and good spirited architect, the other being a witty evil serial killer. It reveals how in every good act or intention, there is some kind of evil, and also the other way around. Erik Larson explores the underlying difference between good and evil, while telling 2 tales of Daniel Burnham, and Henry H. Holmes Daniel Burnham and Henry H.

Throughout the course of his The Devil in the White City, Erik Larson describes Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair through the eyes of two different main characters: Herman Webster Mudgett—a psychopathic serial killer who builds his famous “death castle” on the outskirts of the fairgrounds, and Daniel Burnham—the director of works for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Larson employs the use of many contrasting themes within his writing including success and failure, but perhaps most importantly, murder and beauty. In order to emphasize said themes, Larson juxtaposes the accounts of his two main characters: Mudgett and Burnham. There is no doubt that the manner in which Larson portrays Mudgett is sketchy at best. Rather than introducing him with a concise description, Larson familiarizes the reader with Mudgett over the course of several chapters.
