In the first part of Devil in the White City it starts with an introduction to the Chicago city and the development that has been going around that time. In this chapter mainly the characters are introduced. The characters are Burham, Root, H. Holmes etc. Oh this part we can see that there was a voting for the columbian exhibition. There was competition between New York and Chicago. At the end the Windy City ( Chicago) wins. All the joy and excitement of hosting the Columbian exhibition , turned out a lot difficult than assumed. Burham with Root got the responsibility to plan the fair’s architecture and their mission was to outcast the Eiffel tower and go beyond the world’s fair at Paris. The economy and weather seemed to be an obstacle however it did not seem like to stop them to plan the exhibition.Another character to notice in this part is H. Holmes. He is a young man who is addicted to woman . He is very nice with people and manipulates them with his lovely behavior.
