My Answers

         The movie is very appropriate to the novel but if we look at the beginning part of the novel that makes some changes. The text Da Vinci code is popular fiction and as per the popular work it also tells us the prologue, it is about the museum louver while the movie open with the death of Grandfather Jacques sauniere. According to my opinion the direct make this change in movie because the opening scene can gave more effect to the movie.

          Throughout the movie we can find the challenging ideas about the Christianity. However till the end of the novel or the movie we cannot find any clear cut idea about the Holy Grail or the sarcophagus of Mary magdelin, the secret of Sophie’s identity and the blood of Jesus can’t revel till the end. 

            In the Da Vinci code, Christian religion also hides some fact about the identity of Mary whether she is prostitute the nearest of the Jesus Christ. The hidden truth of Christianity shows that it can build more faith of the devotee.

              The whole book is based on the symbol of the Da Vinci. The more using symbol Holy Grail is itself we can say archetypal symbol, which contain an entire pattern of themes of the novel. However as an archetypal symbol we can read as dreams as well as other psychic phenomenon. In the Christianity the Holy blood  is more valuable that it began the greatest adventure in the western history.  

 The glass pyramid in the museum is also read as male and female phallic symbol.  
    
 The button of Bezu Fache is symbol of Opus Dei.

  Mona Lisa’s painting can be read as half male and half female.   
   
 Cryptex is one symbol of the creation which deals with the notebook of author himself.

The flower design on the key is also deals with the priory of Sion.

 Throughout the movie or novel we can find the blood, which stands for the truth and enlightenment. It is also symbol of church’s intention to cover up the true world. 

    The feminine sacredness in the novel we can find first in the painting of Monalisa which deals with the gender biases which portrayed as half male and half female. It is also makes the satire on priest’s life which is mostly deals with the richness and luxurious life. It also shows the war between the pagan (believer of many gods) and Christianity (believer of one god).  

     Here I am deconstruct the idea of the Dan Brown that the book is not anti-Christian, but the opus Dei itself suggest that
 
“Jesus was mortal one day and divine the next day”.

             This statement shows the anti-religion ideas.

     The text is totally narration of the Da Vinci’s painting which is called art and as per the views of scholar “Art is always against the religion”   

      I think the narration of the paradise lost is more convincing to the contemporary time because it shows the real situation of the contemporary condition of the woman in the Indian society. The weakness of Eve and the fall of Eve we can compare with the fall of woman in the patriarchal society. 

         I think there is wast difference of the narration of the John Milton and the Da Vinci code because the whole book of the paradise lost deals with the innocent of Eve and Adam there is no any intrigue and corruption in their behavior and on the other point of view it shows the humanity in the satanic world, while on the other hand we cannot find any clear vision of the character sketch of the text Da Vinci Code. Everyone has some mystery and secrets in their life. Corruption and the jealousy we can more find in this novel.

         There are many differences of the portrayal  of Ophelia in movie Hamlet, she is shown as more weak and innocent character. However she is not free will to choose her own life with her own way. She is treated as puppet on the hand of the patriarchal society. While the Hester Prynne no doubt treated as a sinful lady but she has a courage to live with enthusiasm though she is out casted or scapegoat of her own situation. While in the Da Vinci Code Sophie is the symbol of the perfect modernization. She is grown with total freedom and individualism. She has free will to choose her own path. She is more intelligent and practical than above all the female character.
