- "The children had been buried nude. Alice lay on her side, her head at the west end of the grave. Nellie lay face down, partially covering Alice. Her rich black hair, nicely plaited, lay along her back as neatly as if she had just combed it." - Part IV: Cruelty Revealed (The Tenant) p 357.

"The shared color, or more accurately the shared absence of color, produced an especially alluring range of effects as the sun traveled the sky. In the early morning, when Burnham conducted his inspections, the buildings were pale blue and seemed to float on a ghostly cushion of ground mist. Each evening the sun colored the buildings ochre and lit the motes of dust raised b the breeze until the air itself became a soft orange veil." -Part III: In The White City (Night Is the Magician) p 252. 

When able to see Julia dying or how Alice and Nellie's remains were discovered, the reader is then led to wonder what motive Holmes had to commit such atrocities and come to the conclusion that there was no motive, it was pointless except to satisfy his want to feel in control of other's lives.

"The exposition revealed to its early visitors a vision of what a city could be and ought to be. The Black City to the north lay steeped in smoke and garbage, but here in the White City of the fair visitors found clean public bathrooms, pure water, and ambulance service, electric streetlights." -Part III: In The White City (Night Is The Magician) p 247. 
Ex#2:
There are hundreds of people who went to Chicago to see the Fair and were never heard from again," said the New York World. "The list of the 'missing' when Fair closed was a long one, and in the greater number foul play suspected. Did these visitors to the Fair, strangers to Chicago, find their way to Holmes' Castle in answer to delusive advertisements sent out by him, never to return again?" -Part III: In The White City (The Black City) p 336.

Burnham designed the "White City" with the intent for it to be perfect, the model of what a city should be like. However, what the Exposition did was give Holmes the perfect opportunity set loose his lust to murder without reason countless of victims and easily cover up his crimes. Therefore, even though Burnham's intent was for the White City to bring safety to the "Black City", it was a useless dream because it was all but safe in the surrounding area where many would end up before Holmes.

"In Chicago at the end of the nineteenth century amid the smoke of industry and the clatter of trains there lived two men, both handsome, both blue-eyed, and both unusually adept at their chosen skills. Each embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized the rush of America toward the twentieth century. One was an architect, the builder of many of America's most important structures, among them the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C.; the other was a murderer, one of the most prolific in history and harbinger of an American archetype, the urban serial killer." -Evils Imminent  
Even before the first chapter, he had already started to state the comparisons between Burnham and Holmes. By doing that, Larson makes it plain for the reader to that even though Burnham and Holmes never met, lived almost in different worlds, they did have one common thing; to want to accomplish impossibilities that at the end of the day that were all a waste. Burnham accomplished raising the White City from the Black City just to have it burn down to ashes. Holmes managed to kill hundreds, and though he been caught and executed for all of his crimes no one ever understood his motives for murdering innocent people except it was assumed that it was a desire to have control of other's lives.

Throughout the book Larson limits himself from using any language that might suggest a person judgement on certain events. His tone remained neutral and concentrated on delivering the facts of the events that occured to the audience when Holmes kills Julia and Anna, or when Burnham is charged with criminal negligence after a fire breaks out in the Cold Storage Building, resulting in the death of twelve firemen and three workers.
