Trust No One

Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby (1967) tells the story of a young woman, Rosemary, who is tricked into bearing Satan’s offspring, the Antichrist. This chapter argues that Levin’s famous novel struck a chord with readers because it successfully targets evolved fears of intimate betrayal, contamination of the body, and persecution by metaphysical forces of evil. Rosemary is victimized at the hands of power-crazed individuals using black magic to serve Satanic evil. This story of occultism and evil is set in contemporary Manhattan, in a world where God is dead but Satan is alive and where pleasant surfaces barely cover an abyss of depravity. Absolute evil is real, and it has no trouble finding human collaborators, people who actively and selfishly pursue dominance and power as well as people who passively tolerate evil.
