This article explores the symbolic representations of the elements air and earth in the context of angels and devils, with a particular focus on their depiction in Dan Brown's novel "Angels and Demons." Through a semiotic analysis, the study identifies and interprets the key symbols associated with air and earth, such as the Chapel Chigi (Earth) and West Ponente (Air), as well as their broader metaphysical and narrative significance. In the novel, earth is consistently linked to power and stability, while air symbolizes intelligence and divine inspiration. These elements are not only central to the plot's progression—guiding protagonist Robert Langdon through a series of symbolic markers—but also reflect deeper philosophical and spiritual associations found in various esoteric and religious traditions, where earth denotes steadfastness and air represents the subtlety of spirit or intellect.
