The Da Vinci Code

Respected Sir,
Here is my response to the given task.

       1) Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his book The Da Vinci Code is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith." 

Answer:

          Yes, it is not anti Christian book rather it established it or new concept. We can see discussions about religion but it is not anti. In the end of the novel that secret remains as it is. It is not reviled.

     3) (If)You have studied ‘Genesis’ (The Bible), ‘The Paradise Lost’ (John Milton) and ‘The Da Vinci Code’ (Dan Brown). Which of the narrative/s seem/s to be truthful? Whose narrative is convincing to the contemporary young mind?
Answer:

       Among these three, 'The Da Vinci Code' is convincing to the contemporary young mind because it represents truth with evidence and that point is important to convincing young mind, while in Genesis and The Paradise Lost we can't see it. So it is different than those two works.
              
     4) What harm has been done to humanity by the biblical narration or that of Milton’s in The Paradise Lose? What sort of damage does narrative like ‘The Vinci Code’ do to humanity?
Answer:

     This kind of works is harmful to society because it creates havoc and people can't accept the things which are subscribing in the work regarding our deep faith. And it creates havoc in society so it is harmful to humanity.
           
      5) What difference do you see in the portrayal of 'Ophelia' (Kate Winslet) in Kenneth Branagh'sHamlet, 'Elizabeth' (Helena Bonham Carter) in Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or 'Hester Prynne' (Demi Moore) in Roland Joffé's The Scarlet Letter' or David Yates's 'Harmione Granger' (Emma Watson) in last four Harry Potter films - and 'Sophie Neuve' (Audrey Tautau) in Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code? How would justify your answer?
 Answer:  

     If we compare these five women characters like Ophelia, Elizabeth, Hester, Hermione and Sophie. So camera focuses on them as girl or portrayal their body as female while The Da Vinci Code is different than those other. Because there is no any single scene in the movie in which Sophie's body represents as a female.
 
       6) Do novel / film lead us into critical (deconstructive) thinking about your religion? Can we think of such conspiracy theory about Hindu religious symbols / myths? 

 Answer:

          Yes, we can also thinking critically about the religion of Hindu, there are some characters whom we consider as Godly figure like "Kunti" she is considered as good person and good mother. In Mahabharata she give birth to child before her marriage it means she has affair with anybody and because of that she become pregnant but this incident described as different which we can't accept logically. That child given by Sun, but how can it is possible? So, this is about one but there are many on whom we can think critically.
 




Thank you.
