ABSTRACT

The title of this paper is "The Assassination of Pope in Dan Brown's novel “Angels and Demons”. This paper discusses about the assassination. The assassination is a very cruel deed which is against the law. It is especially if it happens to the pope. A pope is regarded as a holy man and the vicar of Christ. The novel gives emphasis to the assassination which involves the illuminati— a secret brotherhood presumed extinct for nearly four hundred years, reborn to continue their deadly vendetta against their most hated enemy, the Catholic church. The illuminati kills brutally his victims a chest by using the mysterious symbols seared onto the victim’s chest. The symbols are regarded as the ancient elements of science namely Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The purpose of writing this paper is to show some unthinkable person to be the main master of murder who is capable of organizing the crime happening in church. The writer uses library research methods to collect data from several books related to the topic and collect data using the Internet media. In conclusion the writer concluded that the murder is an act that is not good and against the law. Because assassination is an activity done by a person to kill someone or someone who has the intention to take the life of others. Moreover, the assassination is done on the basis of bad thing and wants to revenge in the name of religion.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1.The Background of the Study

Assassination is an act of killing someone for the way that is unlawful, or which is against the law. It is the murder of a prominent person by a surprise attack, usually for payment. It is usually motivated by a variety of motives, such as politics, jealousy, revenge, self-defense, and so on. It can be done in many ways. For example, by shooting a person using different kinds of weapons, by exploding using bombs. A person who commits such an act is called an assassin. The assassins may carry out the assassination for the prospect of financial gain, for avenge of agrievance, or for the desire to acquire fame or notoriety. The term of assassination is thought to be derived from the Arabic language "Hashish", a member of secret terrorist sect of Moeslems of the 11th – 13th Century, said to have been used by Hasan-And-Sabah to induce motivation his followers, who are assigned to carry out political and other murders, usually at the cost of their lives.

Assassination usually describe about the planned killing of a person who is not under the legal jurisdiction of the killer, who is not physically in the hands of the killer, who has been selected by a resistance organization for death, and whose death provides positive advantages to that organization. Murder is not morally justifiable. For example, killing a Pope is not more morally justifiable. It shocks the world, because the Pope is the bishop of worldwide daily work entrusted to a number of state agencies as well as individuals, who maintains Vatican relations with the outside world and produce decisions that

will affect the lives of 1.2 billion Catholics around the world. In the Catholic church, the Pope is regarded as the successor of

Concerning with my writing topic “The assassination of Pope in Dan Brown’s novel” is a fictional novel, the writer would like to explore thoroughly the discussion about the assassination of Pope and an ancient secret brotherhood presumed extinct for nearly four hundred years, reborn to continue their deadly vendetta against their most hates enemy, the Catholic church.

1.2.The Problem

The problem is how to find the reason why the killers kill the Pope and how they kill him.

1.3.The Scope of the Study

In writing this paper, the writer tries to limit her scope by showing the relations between the assassination case and the reasons the Pope killed.

1.4.Objective of Study

The purpose of study as the following are: 1. To know what are the motives to kill the Pope. 2. To find out who kill the Pope.

3. To find out why the killers kill the Pope. 4. To know how the killers murder the Pope. 1.5. Reason for Choosing the Topic

The writer chooses the novel “Angels and Demons” as her topic because :

1. The Pope is the bishop of Rome and head of church who is killed by a

2. The story is taken from the best seller’s novel.

3. The novel has an inquistive topic which makes the writer eager to know. 4. The novel describes about the assassination of the Pope which is planned

by the Pope’s reliable.

1.6 The Method of Study

The writer uses library research that is done by collecting data from some books related to the topic. The sources of data are Dan Brown’s novel Angels and Demons.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Fananie (2000:6) says, “Literature is a fiction that are created based on emotion spontaneously capable of expressing the ability aspects of beauty are both based aspects of language and aspects of meaning”. This human capable of presenting creative ideas and life experiences with literary art form. The form of literary content of thoughts, feelings, experiences, ideas, beliefs and spirit of others.

Merriam (2011) says, “Writings having excellence of form or expression and expressing ideas of permanent or universal interest”. Literature is writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays. Literature in the sense drama, poems, and novel has something different.

According to English Dictionary, “Novel is a prose containing a series of one’s life story with those around him, to accentuate the character and nature of every culprit”. There are two important elements. There are intrinsic elements and extrinsic elements.

According to The Department of Education and Culture (1989:618) , “The novel is a long essay in prose and contains a series of stories of one’s life with others around him to accentuate the character and nature of each actor”.

Meanwhile, Jassin in Zulfahnur (1996:67) says that novel tells extraordinary occurrence of characters, where the events that lead to inner turmoil that changed the course of the fate of the characters.

According to M.v.T (1998) says, “Crime (rechtdeliten) is the act which, though not specified in the law, as a criminal act, has been perceived as a onrecht as an act as opposed to the rule of law”.

According to Bemmelem (Hussein, 2003) says, “ Criminality is a crime anti-social acts that cause harm, misbehavior in public, so that there is anxiety in the community, and to appease the public, the State shall execute judgments against criminals”.

Wahbah Zuhali ( 1989: 217) says, “Assassination is the act of eliminating or kill someone” . Definition of such killings is understood that the murder was not a crime classified whether done intentionally, or unintentionally and intentionally or semi. It means that nothing is exempt under criminal charges for criminal the assassination perpetrators. From the proposed definition, the assassination can be classified on deliberate murder, murder was not intentional and deliberate killing of spring”.

Zainuddin Ali (2007: 24) says, “The assassination is a deliberate act committed by a person in order to kill others by using equipment that is deemed worthy of killing”.

Sayid Sabiq (1980: 435) says, “Intentionally the assassination is a murder committed by a mukalaf intentionally taking the life of others who is guaranteed his safety, using powerful tools that supposedly can kill (turn it off)”.

In R v Janjua and Choudury (1998) say, “A young man was stabbed to death with the five-and-a-half inch blade of a knife.”

The pope is the bishop of Rome and the leader of the worldwide Catholic church. In the Catholic church, the pope is regarded as the successor of Saint Peter, the Apostle. Catholics believe that the pope is the Vicar of Christ, who has been appointed by God to spread the gospel in all the Catholics .Beside as his position as the bishop of Rome and the leader of the worldwide Catholic church, the pope is also the head and the Independent and Sovereign of Vatican City in which is a city-state is entirely surrounded by the city of Rome, the capital of the Italian State.

4. THE ANALYSIS OF THE ASSASSINATION OF THE POPE IN DAN BROWN’S NOVEL “ANGELS AND DEMONS”

4.1. Assassination

The assassination which occurs in the novel is a murder carried out in a related series by one of the member of secret terrorists. The group of secret terrorists are the Hassassin, the Knights Templar and the Armies.

There are five events involved in the assassination of the pope which is organized by the group of secret terrorist.

The first event is to kill the pope who is performed by a camerlengo, a cardinal who has charge of the papal treasury and accounts. The camerlengo is the cardinal who is against the pope to make or to add the new rule which never happens before in the church. He tries to talk about the case but the pope keeps consistent with his new rule. Then they quarrel to each other. The quarrel can be seen from one of the following conversation about the Vatican fund Vetra’s work as a gesture of goodwill toward spiritually based scientific research.

Madness! The church investing in research that threatened to make the church obsolete? Work that spawned weapons of mass destruction? The bomb that had killed his mother. . .

‘But . . . you can’t !’ the camerlengo had exclaimed. ‘I owe a deep debt to science,’ the Pope had replied.

‘Something I have hidden my entire life. Science gave me a gift when I was young man. A gift I have never forgotten.’

‘I don’t understand. What does science have to offer a manof God?’

‘It is complicated’, the Pope had said. I will need time to make you understand. But first, there is a simple fact about me that you must know. I have kept it hidden all these years. I believe it is time I told you’.

He disagrees with what the pope has planned. Therefore he is angry and plans to kill the pope. He prepares a needle filled with a drug known as Heparin with overdose dosages which would cause massive internal bleeding and brain hemorrhages. That is the equipment to kill the pope. The way he kills the pope can be illustrated from the story found in the novel.

“Sneaking into the Papal bed chambers . . . filling his syringe . . . covering the deceiver’s mouth as his body spasmed into death. In the moonlight, the camerlengo could see in the Pope’s wild eyes there was something he wanted to say. But it was too late. The Pope had said enough”.

The second event is to kill a cardinal, senior Roman Catholic priest, who is performed by the Hassassin, a group of secret terrorist. The camerlengo asks him to kill cardinal named Ebner from Frankfurt, Germany. He plans to kill Ebner because he supports and agrees what pope has done for the church. Therefore, camerlengo feels furies to whomever supports the pope and make them his enemies. All his enemies are kidnapped and locked up in a cell in the basement in the castle of Angels. Ebner is one of them. He is taken out from a cell in the basement in the castle of Angels to the basement of Chigi chapel. But before he is killed, one of member the Hassassin whch is ordered to kill the victim, he must brand the victim with symbol “Earth” which shows that such symbol is token as one of the first element the ancient elements of science. The element “Earth” means from Santi’s earthly tomb. Actually there are four brands for the Hassassin to perform their strategy to kill the victim as a token that they are illuminati (people who have or profess to have special intellectual or sprititual enlightment) to whirl one’s mind that they are from the Centuries of illuminati legend. The brands are Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Usually the brands will be marked to the victims in teir chest before being killed. It happens to Ebner. Since the brand

“Earth” is identic with the ground, so the way the illuminati to kill the victim must be to the ground. Ebner is buried up to his waist in the earth. Standing upright with half of him below the ground stripped naked. This hands tied behind his back with a red cardinal’s sash. He is suffocated. Then he is dead. The way he kills the cardinal Ebner can be illustrated from the story found in the novel.

“Hello?” Langdon choked through his sleeve. Nothing. As he drew nearer, he realized the man was very short. Too short . . .

“What’s happening?” Vittoria called from above, shifting the light.

Langdon did not answer. He was now close enough to see it all. With a tremor of repulsion, he understood. The chamber seemed to contact around him. Emerging like a demon from the earthen floor was an old man. . . or at least half of him. He was buried up to his waist in the earth. Standing upright with half of him below ground. Stripped naked. His hands tied behind his back with a red cardinal’s sash. He was propped limply upward, spine arched backward like sone sort of hideous punching bag. The man’s head lay backward, eyes toward the heavens as if pleading for help from God himself.

“Is he dead?” Vittoria called

Langdon moved toward the body. I hope so, for his sake. As he drew to within a few feet, he locked down at the upturned eyes. They bulged outward, blue and bloodshot. Langdon leaned down to listen for breath but immediately recoild. “For Christ’s sake!”

“What !”

Langdon almost gagged. “He’s dead all right. I just saw the cause of death”. The sight was gruesome. The man’s mouth had been jammed open and packed solid with dirt. “Somebody stuffed fistful of dirt down his throat. He suufocated”

“Dirt?”, Vittoria said. “As in . . . earth?”

Langdon did a double take. Earth. He had almost forgotten. Then brands, Earth, Air, Fire, Water. The killer had threatened to brand each victim with one of the ancient elements of science”

The third event is to kill the second cardinal who named Lamasse from Paris. He is taken out from a cell in the basement in the castle of Angels and brought to St.Peter’s Square. Before killing him, Lamasse is branded with symbol “Air” and he is stabbed by Javelin into his both lungs just below his ribs. Unfortunetly he is not dead. Because he is still alive, then he is brought to St.

Peter’s Square and he is laid stretched out on the ground and left alone. Finally he is dead. It is done in order to the public knows his death is the act of illuminati. The way he kills the cardinal Lamasse can be illustrated from the story found in the novel.

Vittoria ripped the rest of the rags off the man’s abdomen. He had two deep puncture wounds, one on either side of the brand, just below his rib cage. She cocked the man’s head back and began to administer mouth to mouth. Langdon was not prepared for what happened next. As Vittoria blew, the wound on either side of the man’s midsection hissed and sprayed blood into the air like blowholes on a whale. The salty liquid hit Langdon in the face.

Vittoria stopped short, looking horrified. “His lungs . . .” she stammered.

“They’re . . . punctured”

Langdon wiped his eyes as he looked down at the two perforations. The holes gurgled. The cardinal’s lungs were destroyed. He was gone”

The Fourth event is to kill the third cardinal who named Guidera from Barcelona. He is taken out from a cell in the basement in the castle of Angels to the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria. Before killing him, he is branded with symbol “Fire” which means something burning. It shows that the illuminati wants to kill his victim by burning him. In this story, Guidera is first made unconscious by hitting his head with a piece of wood. Then he is hung by fastening both his wrists with the incestor cables. Below his body, there is burning wood burned with frankincense oil when make him to death. The cremation of his dead is like the funeral pyre in the epic tale. The way he kills the cardinal Guidera can be illustrated from the story found in the novel.

As Langdon’s eyes followed the inferno upward, the true horror of the scene descended like a bird of prey.

High overhead, from the left and right sides of the ceiling, hung two incensor cables— lines used for swinging frankincense vessels above the congregation. These lines, however, carried no incensor now. Nor were they swinging. They had been used for something else. . .

Suspended from the cables was a human being. A naked man. Each wrist had been connected to an opposing cable, and he had been hoisted almost to the point

of being torn apart. His arms were outstretched in a spread-eagle as if he were nailed to some sort of invisible crucifix hovering within the house of God.

Langdon felt paralyzed as he stared upward. A moment later, he witnessed the final abomination. The old man was alive, and he raised his head. A pair of terrified eyes gazed down in a silent plea for help. On the man’s chest was a scorched emblem. He had been branded.

High above the chapel floor, Cardinal Guidera endured his last torturous moments of consciousness. As he looked down the length of his naked body, he saw the skin on his legs begin to blister and peel away.

I am in hell, he decided. God, why hast thou forsaken me?

He knew this ,ust be hell because he was looking at the brand on his chest upside down. . . and yet, as if by the devil’s magic, the word made perfect sense”

The fifth event is to kill the fourth cardinal who named Baggia from Italy. He is taken out from a cell in the basement in the castle of Angels to edge of piazza. In that place, there is a fountain named The Fountain Rivers. Before killing him, he is branded with symbol “water” which means the colorless, transparent liquid occuring on earth as rivers, lake, oceans etc. It shows that the illuminate wants to kill his victim by shinking his body to the water. In this story, Baggia is the first made unconscious by hitting his head with a piece of wood. Then he is sank into the pool and he loses his breath till to die. The way he kills the cardinal Baggia can be illustrated from the story found in the novel.

The motion was utterly unexpected. For an instant Langdon thought the laws of physics had ceased to exist. The killer seemed to hang weightless in the air as his legs shot out from beneath him, his boots driving into the cardinal’s side and launching the chain-laden body out the door. The cardinal splashed down, sending up a sheet of spray.

Water dousing his face, Langdon realized too late what had happened. The killer had grasped one of the van’s roll bars and used it to swing outward.

4.2. The Murders

4.2.1 Carlo Ventresca (Camerlengo)

Carlo Ventresca is the son of the results of the process of artificial insemination. He is the son of a nun. He is about 30 years old and has a handsome face, brown hair and bright green eyes. He works as the Head of Papacy Household or commonly called the camerlengo (a cardinal who has charge of the papal treasury and accounts) . He is the pope’s reliable cardinal and as well as Pator. When there is a private meeting of the cardinals to elect a pope, he is the one of the cardinals appointed to be commision.

“I am Carlo Ventresca,’’ he said, his English is perfect.

“The late Pope’s camerlengo’’. His voice was unpretentious and kind, with only the slightest hint of Italian inflection.

“Vittoria Vetra ,”she said, stepping forward and offering her hand. “Thank you for seeing us”.

4.2.2 The Hassassin

The Hassassin is a name of the group of the secret terrorists. The typical of the members of the Hassassin can be described that they are tall and large, their eyes glistened, black like oil, their accent like people from Middle Eastern, their skin darkened. They can speak Arabic and Italian language. They serve as the messenger of the ancient brotherhood who hate their enemy very much coming from the Catholic church. To that reason, camerlengo takes the opportunity to use the Hassassin to kill the member off the Catholic church including the pope and cardinals. The opportunity to use the Hassassin can be proved in the following talks.

“I would do even that for God, the camerlengo thought, and yet he had not. The deeds had been carried out by the Hassassin –a heathen soul tricked into thinking he was doing the work of the illuminati. “I am Janus, the camerlengo had told him. I will prove my power. And he had. The Hassassin’s hatred had made him God’s pawn”.

4.3. The motive of Assassination 4.3.1. To Revenge

To revenge is to take vengeance in behalf of a person, one self, etc. it is hatred feeling which can harm someone to inflict damage, injury, or punishment in return for an injury or insult.

Concerning with the story of the novel, the main case take revenge is about adding the new rules which causes conflict between the pope and the one of the cardinals. Such a new rule, for example, is about the church fund research which will provided for the goodwill toward spiritually based scientific research. The following statement can be shown when one of the cardinals is against the pope. As the opposite of the above statements which cause conflict, the pope has a reason why he makes the new rule.

“This is insane! Church fund research that will make the church look outdated? Works that produce weapons of mass destruction? Born who had killed his mother…”

“I don’t understand. What does science have to offer a man of God?”

As the opposite of the above statements which cause conflict, the pope has a reason why he makes the new rule.

“I owe a deep debt to science,” the pope had replied.

“Something I have hidden my entire life. Science gave me a gift when I was a young man. A gift I have never forgotten”. “This is insane! Church fund research that will make the church look outdated? Works that produce weapons of mass destruction? Born who had killed his mother…”

“I don’t understand. What does science have to offer a man of God?” 4.3.2 To Protect the Church

For the people like pope, cardinals, pastors, nuns, fraters give a protection to the church is a must. Therefore they must keep watching, for what is happening, happened, will happen to the church. Related to the story in the novel, one of them is the case about the science which the pope think as a gift for human being as the astononishing truth. On the other hand, the pope’s suggestion is to be in contradiction. Such contradiction can be seen from the following statements. “Science is knowledge about the structure and behavior of the natural and physical world, based on the fact on the fact that it can be proved. This science is a science that considers that the planet Earth and its inhabitants is a point that has no meaning in a tremendous scheme. A cosmic event that occurs in the universe. Even the technology that promises wants to unite us, it actually separates us. All people are now electronically connected to each other, but we still feel very alone. We are bombarded with violence, division, fracture, and betrayal. Skepticism is considered as a higher value. Cynicism and demand will be considered as evidence of the enlightened mind. Science destroys the world created by God into smaller pieces in their search for meaning ... and it was only generate new questions. we can measure the progress of science in a matter of weeks. We are getting out of control. Widened the gap between us, and when religion behind, humans find themselves on the spiritual emptiness. We are trying hard to find meaning. And believe me, we really tried hard”.

5. CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

5.1 CONCLUSIONS

After writing this paper, the writer can conlcude that the assassination is very cruel deed which is against the law. It is especially if it happens to the pope. A pope is regarded as a holy man and the vicar of Christ. “Angels and Demons” is an extraordinary novel which describes about the assassination of the pope including the cardinals. The novel gives emphasis to the assassination which involves the illuminati— a secret brotherhood presumed extinct for nearly four hundred years, reborn to continue their deadly vendetta against their most hated enemy, the Catholic church. The illuminati kills brutally his victims a chest by using the mysterious symbols seared onto the victim’s chest. The symbols are regarded as the ancient elements of science namely Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

In this paper, the writer hopes that “Angels and Demons” has shown some unthinkable person to be the main master of murder who is capable of organizing the crime happening in church.

5.2 SUGGESTIONS

Based on the analysis of the novel, the writer wants to give some suggestions to the readers, they are:

1. The church is a holy place that should not be confused with political issues or other issues relating to the world.

2. Every human beings in the world would certainly make many mistakes. Therefore he or she has the opportunity get the second chance to fix himself or herself.

3. It is recommended that one should not have any feeling of hatred, envy to destroy other person’s life.
