Use of Symbols, Science and Art in The Da Vinci Code Novel by Dan BrownPritiba Gohil
Here I am sharing My Presentation of Course No. 13: The New Literature based on Use of Symbols, Science and Art in The Da Vinci Code Novel by Dan Brown.
The document discusses the plot and controversy surrounding The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. It summarizes the main claims of the book, including that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had descendants, and that Christianity suppressed the sacred feminine. It also discusses the immense commercial success of the book despite criticism from the Church. The sacred feminine is defined as embracing concepts of a universal motherhood, ancient goddesses, and wisdom, compassion, and unconditional love.
The document analyzes various symbols featured in Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code, including the Holy Grail, pentagram, Fibonacci sequence, Mona Lisa, Vitruvian Man, and their symbolic meanings. Key symbols like the chalice and pentagram are examined for their ancient spiritual and female significance. The analysis explores how Brown uses symbols and their hidden meanings to tell the story's central theory about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and the Church covering up their sacred relationship.
The document summarizes and refutes key claims made in the popular book "The Da Vinci Code". It presents 10 false claims from the book, explaining the real historical facts and truth in each case. The overarching conspiracy presented in "The Da Vinci Code" is exposed - that the real conspirator behind promoting its claims is Satan, aiming to seduce readers to doubt and reject Christianity in favor of humanism and pagan beliefs.
Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" erroneously presents false information as facts. This presentation clearly contrasts the historical facts with the fantasy that Dan Brown claims to be factual.

Hans Baldung Grien created woodcut prints in the early 16th century depicting nude witches. His piece The Witch's Sabbath from 1510 shows naked witches holding a black mass in the woods accompanied by animals. Another work, The Bewitched Groom from 1544, portrays a man accompanied by a torch-bearing witch and a horse in a composition representing chaos. Baldung's nude witches reference Eve's temptation and the idea of women as temptresses. They also reflect the cultural fascination with the supernatural and notions of masculinity, reason, and control during the Northern Renaissance.

Beyond Belief: The Transformative Power of Mythic FictionLisaConnors6
This paper examines the transformative power of mythic fiction. It discusses how mythic fiction can expand readers' worldviews and beliefs by transporting them into an engaging secondary world. The paper analyzes how successful works of mythic fiction establish credibility and motivate readers to suspend disbelief, entering into a transformative reading experience. Specifically, it explores three craft techniques used by mythic fiction authors: 1) Contracting, or constructing an intriguing threshold between the primary and secondary worlds; 2) Pathmaking, enticing readers along a journey with wise guides; and 3) Rattle and Ache, crafting endings that provoke thought about one's core beliefs. The author aims to apply these techniques in their own work of mythic

Dan Brown\'s Da Vinci Code shook many Christians and Church goers. Haven carefully read the book and seen the movie (several times), here is my answer to Da Brown. This presentation was a three-day class i hosted.
Flannery O'Connor's reputation as a writer first flowered because of her remarkable short stories and novels. The vision of reality which underlies her works seems strangely out of harmony with our materialistic essentially no-religious society. Although her stories are Southern to the core, she was never actively part of any Southern literary movement and for the most part of her fiction does not reflect social issues, particularly the social problems, which beset the South during her lifetime. Despite her Catholic Faith, the characters of the bulk of her fiction are Protestant Fundamentalists or Fanatics. Miss O'Connor's sympathies were clearly aligned the mistaken truth-seekers, the raging, and the irrational, even sinful prophets, some of whom seem to have wandered into the modern world from the pages of the Old Testament. They at least have some awareness of reality, some cognizance of the Divine Plan, she contended. They may reject or prevent the world but they cannot escape it. On the other hand Miss O'Connor's utmost scorn was showered upon the secularities bogged in their material world and unable or unwilling to perceive the grand design of existence, the plan of Redemption. Hazel Motes presents a figure reminiscent of Milton's Satan, a Christ of Evil. Consumed by evils as he is, Hazel like Satan cannot ignore nor even long be away from Christ. His suffering is the realization of loss, of man's fall. So darkened is his spirit by the chaos of his soul that grace cannot penetrate it, and he plunges deeper into darkness. O'Connor's work is littered with characters like Hazel Motes, who starts a heretical Church and commits murder before his conversion. Throughout the Bible, readers encounter figures such as Paul, who began sinning his way to Jesus as a persecutor of the early Christian Church before his conversion at Damascus, or Moses, who murders an Egyptian and flees to Midian before being called by God to free the Israelites. Throughout O'Connor's works there are significant biblical allusions which have been overlooked. O'Connor's unique approach, that is her attempt to engage her biblical source material in a unique way in order to reach a mass audience, grows out of her frustration over her parish's tendency to avoid the intellectual and spiritual problems confronting Catholicism in the twentieth century since she was opposed to practiced form of worship that enabled people to recite 'readymade' prayers
instead of searching their own souls; instead O'Connor frequently encouraged growing interest in Biblical studies. The novel Wise Blood recapitulates the story of St. Paul of the New Testament. This study compares Hazel Motes with the Biblical parallel St. Paul.

Toni Morrison is an acclaimed American novelist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993. She was the first African American woman to win this honor. Some of her most famous works include The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, and Beloved. Paradise tells the story of an all-black town called Ruby and the group of troubled women who live in a nearby convent. The novel explores themes of community, religion, race, and the past. It has a nonlinear structure and is divided into nine chapters named after main characters.
Lavinia is a flat character in the epic poem who has others speak for her, but in the novel she has a voice of her own. According to an oracle, she is destined to marry a foreigner from the sea rather than her mother's choice, King Turnus, as her marriage to Turnus would bring tragedy to her father's kingdom. When readers can identify the myth of the great war between Lavinia's suitors Aeneas and Turnus, it gives the novel deeper meaning by allowing them to analyze why she did not marry Turnus as expected. The inclusion of unbelievable myths and oracles is important for epic poems and novels based on Greek mythology to participate in the tradition and keep the myths alive

Freemasonry 032 liber capricornus - the symbolism of the goatColinJxxx
The document discusses the symbolism of the goat in Freemasonry and various esoteric traditions. It explores the goat's representation in astrology as Capricorn, its role in ancient mystery schools and temples, and its phallic and fertility associations. While sometimes viewed negatively in Christianity, the goat historically symbolized nature, creativity, and balance of male and female forces. The author argues the joking references to goats in Freemasonry initiation may unconsciously relate to deeper symbolic meanings rooted in esoteric traditions.
Es college essay_the violence_and_the_gracejonath111
This document provides a summary and analysis of Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man Is Hard to Find". It discusses how O'Connor uses violence and extreme characterizations to portray the need for redemption, and how characters find salvation or change by the end of the story. It also examines criticisms of O'Connor's work as being too judgmental or portraying racial prejudice at times. Overall, the controlling theme across O'Connor's works is the use of violence to dramatize the process of moral and spiritual redemption for characters.
The document discusses the genre of Christian fiction for young adults. It defines Christian fiction as stories that reflect a Christian worldview through their plots, characters and themes. It provides examples of what major Christian publishers look for in submissions and examines issues around selecting and marketing Christian fiction to teen audiences. A brief history of the genre and a number of seminal authors and works are also mentioned.
The document discusses feminism in Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. It summarizes the plot of the novel and analyzes the character Sophie Neveu as a reflection of feminism. Sophie displays traditionally masculine qualities like strength, courage, and acting as a leader. She serves as an example of a strong female character who is relied upon in difficult situations. The document also discusses how the novel brought attention to ideas about pagan goddess worship and alternative theories about Christianity that emphasized the sacred feminine.
The presentation discusses the mystery of the Holy Grail according to The Da Vinci Code. The Da Vinci Code claims that Jesus Christ himself said that Mary Magdalene was the Holy Grail, representing womanhood and the symbol of the sacred feminine. However, the Bible does not mention the words "grail" or "holy grail," and there is no proof that Jesus made this claim about Mary Magdalene. The concept of the Holy Grail originated from medieval legends. At the end of The Da Vinci Code, the main character uncovers that the Holy Grail, also called the Sangreal, refers to Mary Magdalene and the royal bloodline she carried as the supposed wife of Jesus Christ.
The document discusses various narrative techniques and themes in Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. It analyzes the use of omniscient narration, parallel narration covering both sides of the story, and point of view changes between chapters. It also examines the novel's use of science, mathematics, paintings, and conspiracy theories questioning religious beliefs and myths. Feminism is a theme as the novel deals with suppression of the sacred feminine and the possibility of Jesus having a daughter.
Easter Sunday – Gospel Illustration John 20:1-9 – Mary MagdaleneDaniel Mayne Sr.
This document discusses Mary Magdalene based on biblical passages. It notes that Mary Magdalene, along with other women, visited Jesus' tomb on the first day of the week. She is famous for being the first person to see Jesus after his resurrection. There is no biblical evidence that she was a prostitute, though she has traditionally been portrayed as such due to later interpretations that confused her with other women mentioned in the gospels. The document examines theories about Mary Magdalene's relationship to Jesus and questions of whether they were married, concluding there is no solid evidence for such claims.
Hans Baldung Grien created woodcut prints in the early 16th century depicting nude witches. His piece The Witch's Sabbath from 1510 shows naked witches holding a black mass in the woods accompanied by animals.

Sacred feminine in the novel Da Vinci CodeVidhyaPandya
The document discusses the concept of the Sacred Feminine in various contexts. It defines the Sacred Feminine as the divine feminine aspect associated with creation, nurturing, and collaboration. Paganism recognizes the divine presence in nature and the natural order. Symbols of the Sacred Feminine include the chalice, representing the nurturing feminine. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code explores the idea that early Christianity suppressed an existing matriarchal culture and the Sacred Feminine. The document also discusses portrayals of women in Christianity, gender issues at temples in India, and references on the topic.
The document discusses themes from The Da Vinci Code, including the novel challenging commonly held beliefs about Christianity and raising questions about whether history books tell the full truth. It explores how the novel reinterprets stories like Jesus' life and suggests the Bible contains metaphors rather than literal transcripts. A key theme is the oppression of women by the Church and how characters underestimate Sophie due to her gender. The search for the Holy Grail reveals troubling facts about the spread of Christianity that challenge people's faith in historical convictions.

Fantasy and Religious Vision in 20th Century LiteratureTrushali Dodiya
This PPT is prepared for classroom presentations of MA Semester 2, presented at the Department of English, MKBU. This presentation contains the discussion on Fantasy and Religious Vision in 20th Century Literature.
Dan Brown is the bestselling author of novels like The Da Vinci Code that have sold over 200 million copies worldwide. He focuses on topics at the intersection of science and religion, drawing on history and symbols to craft suspenseful thrillers that have sparked intellectual debate. Brown lived on a prep school campus as a child where he developed fascinations with paradoxes between science and faith that inform his work.
1) The document provides information about a student paper submitted to Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji Bhavnagar University analyzing the themes in Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code.
2) Some of the major themes analyzed include the false conflict between faith and knowledge, the subjectivity of history, the intelligence of women, manipulation, secrets, and art.
3) The student argues that Brown uses famous works of art like Da Vinci's The Last Supper to encode symbols of goddess worship and the story of Mary Magdalene that challenge traditional historical narratives.
“The Bible did not arrive by fax from heaven. The Bible is the product of man, my dear. Not of God. The Bible did not fall magically from the clouds. Man created it as a historical record of tumultuous times, and it has evolved through countless translations, additions, and revisions. History has never had a definitive version of the book.”

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

4. The novel
nonetheless became
a worldwide
bestseller that sold
80 million copies as
of 2009, and has
been translated into
44 languages.
5. About Author
Daniel “Dan” Brown was American
author of thriller fiction.
Who is the best known for the
2003 bestselling novel The Da
Vinci Code.
Brown’s novels are treasure
hunts set in a 24 hour period,
and features the recurring
themes of cryptography, keys,
symbols , codes and conspiracy
theories.
6. - The Da Vinci Code….
“ Woman’s voice… the
wisdom of the ages…
whispering up from the
chasms of the earth”.
7. Dan Brown’s novel got success due to a
latent yearning in today’s world for a
representation of the sacred feminine.
Dan Brown’s conception of the ancient
world and transition to the modern has
been shifted towards gender.
Gender shift
13. Homicide
Opus Dei’s female
devotees are not allowed
to work as men but were
restricted to cleaning
and other dirty work
without pay.
Mary Magdalene’s
untimely historical death
incorporates “ homicide”
of the concept of
feminine divinity.
14. Mary Magdalene's role
Mary Magdalene’s
role in the Bible
is very short but
her role in ‘ The
Da Vinci Code’ is
rather long and
important one.
15. Pagan Goddesses
Brown uses historical work
of Mary Magdalene to
represent the feminine
leadership that was lost
after the establishment of
Christianity since the time
of Constantine whose
mother is believed to be
worshipping Pagan
Goddesses.
16. Brown is trying to prove that Mary
Magdalene was the favorite of all the
disciples of Christ. Brown writes:
“ the Priory of Sion to
this day, still worship
Mary Magdalene as
the Goddess, the Holy
Grail, the Rose and
the Divine Mother.”
17. Christ’s intention
Jesus Christ’s
intention that the
Church be based
from her and built it
on by Peter.
A woman of a
reading “ Absolutely,
that’s just like the
men to do that.”
18. Major role
Again if we think about
Mary Magdalene’s
character, though her
role is short in canon,
in some Gnostic texts
and scriptures, her
role is major.
19. Some of the texts with her
major role are:
‘The Pistis Sophia’-
dialogue between.
Jesus and Mary
Magdalene.
‘The Gospel of Mary-
discourse’ “ Mary
Magdalene and
disciples after Jesus’
crucifixion.
20. Conclusion
Dan Brown through historical
references tries to delve sacredness in
feminine by proving Christianity as male
central religion.
Many people have accepted Mary
Magdalene as
“ apostle to the
apostle”.
