The Da Vinci Code

Respected Sir,

1.  Narration of studied Paradise Lost and The Da Vinci Code, In Paradise Lost Milton wrote on Eve and Adam. Eve is responsible for fall of Adam. Paradise Lost tries to show rationally with given Eve some space. But it also decline women. We can say about ‘The Da Vinci Code’ breaks human faith with showing history of Christianity. Here Brown’s novel Da Vinci Code has all historical issues and reference strong evidence. Mary Magdalene’s role in the Bible is very short but her role in ‘The Da Vinci Code’ is rather long and important one. Brown is trying to prove that Mary Magdalene was the favorite of all the Disciples of Christ.
2. When we study all these characters then we come to know that directly or indirectly these all characters are objectified in the films. If we see the films like 'Hamlet', 'Frankenstein', and 'The Scarlet Letter' then we will find that these characters are more objectified physically and serve as the male-gaze characters. We can see vast difference in the characters of films and novels. But it is quite good that the character of Hermione is not that much objectified. Well, her character is also objectified but in more controlled way. In the later parts of the movie she becomes the reason to fight between the two important characters Harry and Ron. As compared to all these characters Sophie's portrayal of the characters is done in more fair way. As compared to these three characters the character of Hermione and Sophie is more free and open-mined. They remain companion of the male characters at the last of the journey. But still Sophie is emerging as the more strong character. In the movie also her body is not used as the object in the movie.
3. If we do an Atheist reading than Leigh Teabing can be consider as a protagonist. As he is interested in studying history of Christianity, because his character deals an idea which is also center of the novel. Robert Langdon is a follower of Christianity when at the end Langdon uncover the mystery behind the Mary Magdalene and the Holy Grail also called Sangreal. We can say that Langdon is a hero or traditional protagonist. If we can see Atheist reading point of view Sir Leigh Teabing become hero.
