I doubt it was a protection, since Karras does not get randomly possessed, but consciously invites the demon to possess him, after which invitation the demon responds by possessing Karras. Also I doubt the medallion could be protective, since no other sacramental object in the story has a protective function. Quite the contrary, Regan rapes herself with a crucifix. Neither the novel nor the film attribute much effectiveness to “holy objects”.

I disagree. I think even though the demon was invited into Karras he couldnt enter with the medallion there. Just my opinion!! I always thought that is why he tore it off.

But then why would a medallion protect Karras when a crucifix and all the holy water, the rosary, the prayer book and all the prayers be ineffective? I.e., why does a medallion have a special power that all the other sacramental objects don’t? I’ll grant, however, that the removal of the medal at the Iraq dig might be seen to “free up” the evil in the hole where the Pazuzu amulet is discovered…

That is a compelling notion, Granny! 😮 Food for thought. Thanks. 🙂 If that’s the case, it now HAS a reason for being found there! 😮

M.I.K.E.

Yeah, it “frames” the movie nicely…

This has always been on my mind. why did after the demon tore off karrass’s necklace that then you see karras become immediately possessed? Was that medallion like a protection on him before the demon tore it off? Any thoughts or ideas would really be appreciated!

Hej, ostatnio szuka?em czego?, co mog?oby urozmaici? mój wieczór i trafi?em na rodeoslot. Zaintrygowa?y mnie bonusy przygotowane specjalnie dla graczy z Polski, wi?c postanowi?em wypróbowa? gr?

Ca?a rozgrywka by?a naprawd? emocjonuj?ca, a wygrana doda?a mi sporo adrenaliny. Teraz regularnie wracam do tego kasyna online, bo ka?da sesja daje ?wietn? zabaw? i realn? szans? na wygran?.
