Abstract
This paper deals with the representation of occultism in Ira Levin’s novel Rosemary’s Baby (1967). The treacherous nature of occultism is represented by a seemingly nice old couple next door who in fact worships the devil and are the leaders of a cult which wants to bring Satan’s offspring to Earth. The novel uses the typical Gothic trope of a haunted house and also relies on other Gothic features to produce the feeling of horror. These Gothic features are: an old house with a dark past, an ancient prophecy of the Anti-Christ coming to earth, dreams bordering on reality, inexplicable events, and women in distress. By analyzing the Satanic cult, its members, practices, victims, and the Gothic pregnancy, the novel highlights the idea that the struggle between good and evil is essentially of a theological nature as good is represented in the form of Christianity and church, whereas evil is represented through the members of the Satanic cult who worship the Devil.
