Devil In The White City.?

In describing the collapse of the roof of Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Building, Larson wtires "In a great blur of snow and silvery glass the buildings roof-that marval of late nieteenth-century hubris, enclosing the greatest volume of obstructed space in history--collapsed to the floor below" [p. 196-97]. Was the entire fair, in its extravagant size and cost, an exhibition of arrogance? Do such creative acts automatically engender a darker, destructive prallel? Can Holmes be seen as the natural darker side of the Fair's glory?

1. You are right. The Devil is white. Mr. Yakub, the nephew of Allah created the devils on the isle of Patmos back 6000 years ago. 6 billion years after the Holy Black Tribe of Shabazz was created by Allah when the moon seperated from the Earth.
