Sophie‘s relationship with her grandfather, Jacques Sauniere was not good since her coming home for holiday when she was studying in university. To her
surprised, she found that her grandfather was having a ritual sex. She went away and left her grandfather.
Sophie never responded except once-to forbid him ever to call her or try to meet her in public. She was afraid his explanation would be more
terrifying than the incident itself. 81
It seems that she cannot forgive her grandfather. She did not want to hear any explanation from her grandfather. For ten years, they were having bad
relationship. Her grandfather always sent her cards, letters, even reach her on the phone but she ignored him. She did not want to talk to him or hear any
explanation.

As stated above that she works for Paris Judicial Police. Her ability makes her senior above her. She brings the new methodology of cryptography to solve
the cases in Paris police department. At thirty-two years old, she had a dogged determination that bordered on
obstinate. Her eager espousal of Britain’s new cryptologic methodology continually exasperated the veteran French cryptographers above her. 55
As a woman she is not expected to know much, especially not more than men, therefore she becomes a threat to them, and therefore they dislike her. It is

When Sophie knows that her grandfather, Jacques Sauniere was murdered, and the police were accused Langdon, she makes a quick decision how to get
Langdon out, so that he would not be in jail because she knows that Langdon was not guilty. She tells Langdon that he got a message from the U.S embassy. When
Langdon calls the number given by Sophie, he is surprised. The voice on the phone is Sophie’s voice which was recorded. Sophie gives some directions.
And yet the more he listened, the more he sensed Sophie Neveu was speaking in earnest. Do not react to this message. Just listen calmly. You are
in danger right now. Follow my directions very closely. Filled with uncertainty, Langdon had decided to do exactly as Sophie advised. 71
If we know new people, we will not believe to himher easily in short time. It will take time to have someone’s trust. With her ability, Sophie could gain
Langdon’s trust in short time. Sophie can ensure Langdon as if as Langdon had no choice, except follow her though they never met each other.
If the smartest thing you could do. If you let Fache take you into custody now, you’ll spend weeks in a French jail while DCPJ and the U.S Embassy
fight over which courts try your case. But if we get you out of here, and make it to your embassy, then your government will protect your rights
while you and I prove you had nothing to do with this murder.” 85
Langdon has no choices except follow her. He does not want to be in jail because he is not guilty. It is possible for someone to trust someone else in short
time easily. In this case Sophie can ensure Langdon that she can help him. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
