Point of View in The Da Vinci Code A Stylistic Analysis of The Da Vinci Code part 24

Robert Langdon seems to know just as much as the reader does throughout the greater part of The Da Vinci Code about the events taking place in the novel. At any given moment in the narrative some character will be present who expresses a high degree of uncertainty about the situation or events taking place in The Da Vinci Code. Most of the time this character is Langdon, but sometimes this character is Neveu. In this role, the character asks for and needs to be given an explanation of what is taking place. The given explanation allows readers to get an idea of what is going on as well. Readers are in this way able to see events evolving from the perspective of the uninformed character. The character, whether it is Langdon or Neveu, is sceptical and uninformed about the events taking place. They keep asking sceptical questions and the information is therefore presented to them – and thus also to the reader – in a step-bystep manner. Langdon and Neveu put forward many objections that question the information given, but both Langdon and Neveu are finally always persuadable that the information provided is true.
By presenting the information in a step-by-step way readers can also to discover what is going on in a gradual manner. It is not only the development of events in this way gradually becomes clear to a character (and consequently to the reader), but also that other information is communicated in The Da Vinci Code, for example information about the Holy Grail. Langdon and Neveu are initially sceptical but eventually believe that the information provided is true. Alongside the fact that Robert Langdon is the reflector of the narrative for the majority of the text, this explains why readers might be more easily persuaded to take the information provided as true. My analysis of the selected chapters from The Da Vinci Code using Simpson’s framework supports this.
One aspect brought up in the questions section of the presentation of this paper was that questions don’t necessarily convey uncertainty, but that they can actually project a sense of certainty. In addition, affirmative sentence with epistemic modality can also hint at some sort of uncertainty, rather than a sense of certainty. Whilst I have not addressed this in my analysis, I would suggest that future research could investigate these avenues in more detail. If one thing is clear from this, it is evident that much more work is still to be done on The Da Vinci Code, both with respect to the function of questions and affirmative statements, and in light of readers’ conceptions of what is true, what is not, and why they feel that way.
