The Da Vinci Code based on novel by Dan Brown

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."

This novel is not Anti-Christian. Though this whole book is based on idea of Christianity and showing some imaginative truths about Christianity. Dane Brown is not saying that this is truth or related with history. This 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." When the novel begins he is depicted as the non-believer of priory of Sion. This is the committee who are selected to protect the blood-line of Jesus Christ. Though he was studying all these symbols but he was non-believer of this and at the end he turns into a member of Priory of Sion. We can say that Robert Langdon's journey as a pilgrimage. The search for the Spiritual Truth. Brown is just using the historical fact with his imagined story.

2) 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?

when we study Genesis and Paradise lost By Milton we thinks some time that  yes whatever Milton write and present in his book is true because in our Hindu religion  we also heard like this world is created by God and all these things like he creates all these things for six day and at 7th day he get rest and this day is known as Sunday etc. so it can be convincing at some extent but when we saw this movie or read this book we cant accept that Christ was married and about Marry...etc.. So, in Milton’s  “The Paradise Lost” is faithful to the Bible, but it harms humanity. We can raise many questions that why Milton presents the woman as downfall of a man? Why he shows Eve as unintelligent why not Adam? So its harmful to humanity. We cannot say that Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” is not faithful to Christianity. He shows a woman character more powerful than the male character. Both narrations of Milton and Dan Brown are controversial. 

3) When we do traditional reading of the novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’, Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology, Harvard University emerges as protagonist and Sir Leigh Teabing, a British Historian as antagonist. Who will claim the position of protagonist if we do atheist reading of the novel?

If we do atheist reading of this book then Sir Leigh Teabing emerges as protagonist because he is more clear in his motives that he wanted to revile secretes about Holy Grail and wanted to give relaxation to the humanity from the clutches of Christianity. Teabing wanted to reveal the truth to the common people so that he can destroy the fake faith of common people in Christianity. Whereas Langdon was on the journey just to accompany Sophie and because his name was written on the death place of Jacques Sauniere. But at last when Langdon come to know about the truth of the blood-line, he become one of secret keeper rather than reveler. So we can say that Langdon's journey is just pilgrimage. Though he was knowing the truth he become one of the member of secret keeper.
