ROBERT LANGDON IS THE IDEAL CROSS CHARACTER OF DAN BROWN'S INTELLIGENT DETECTIVES

Abstract

This article substantiates the legitimacy of the existence of the cross-cutting character Robert Langdon in 4 intellectual detective stories by D. Brown; arguments are given for changing the “assistant” in direct dependence on the plot and motive of the crime. The professionalism and high intellectual level of R. Lagdon is a logical justification for his participation in the investigation of a crime, when the investigation plan from criminal becomes only cultural.
