Sir Isaac Newton is considered one of the most influential scientists in history. He formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which have withstood rigorous testing for over 300 years. His theory of color and reflection, which contrasted with that of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (another famous scientist), set the stage for the modern understanding of light and color. Newton also made…

Five Biggest History Conspiracy Theories

My five favourite history conspiracy theories - a guilty pleasure at yuletide! #history

Conspiracy theories are nothing new. We’re more aware of them today thanks to the ceaseless buzz of social media. But back in ancient Rome, Nero was blaming Christians for burning down the city. While in Stuart London after the Great Fire of 1666, a monument was erected pointing an accusing finger at Roman Catholics as devious arsonists. What’s often not recognised is the extent to which…

While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci—and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

The Da Vinci Code

Novel by Dan Brown

Published on March 18, 2003

Critical Approaches Used for Criticism

Formalist Criticism

The literary work utilizes a lot of complex and hidden text meaning. It requires analytical and great problem-solving skills. Clues and logical ways of thinking are greatly important in reading the literary work making me think that the book was made for highly intellectual people.

Below is the plot breakdown where we could see the elements of the story.

New Historicist or Historical Criticism

The literary work dealt with the history of Christianity. It draws fans to the theory of the Holy Grail truly being the holy bloodline of Jesus. Some of the history and ideas presented on it are true and some are false. This created a lot of controversies and disputes.

Psychological/Psychoanalytic Criticism

The literary work contains characters with questionable actions and decisions, making me question sometimes, why would they do such things. The antagonist Silas for example being an Opus Dei follower is instructed by The Teacher to locate the Holy Grail, killing whoever is needed to be killed to find it. This made me provide deeper analysis to better understand the character.

Reader-Response Criticism

The literary work questions the Christian faith but it doesn't fully grasp pushing you, the reader, to do such things. It only provides ideas and information that would be handled to the reader to decide, interpret, and reflect on their own self-conviction.

Sociological Criticism

The literary work focuses on the beliefs and values of the majority of society, Christians. It created a lot of controversy and arguments because others deemed it disrespectful, perceptive, or simply fun. A lot of cultural issues were tackled in the novel that fans and not fans find intriguing.

Feminist Criticism

The literary work delivers some female influence. It responds in many ways to new thinking about women in western culture. In the novel’s estimation, Mary Magdalene was a strong, independent figure, patron of Jesus, cofounder of his movement, his only believer in his greatest hour of need, author of her own Gospel, his romantic partner, and the mother of his child. The feminist interpretation of the novel is not to reduce its literary value to political value but to be of great help to further studies on this novel.

Book Review

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown is the second novel in the Robert Langdon series, though it's undoubtedly the most famous and popular. The title itself, "The Da Vinci Code," grabs your attention and likely played a significant role in the book’s widespread popularity. The name “Da Vinci” immediately evokes thoughts of genius, mystery, and the Renaissance master’s iconic works like The Last Supper and Mona Lisa. By pairing Da Vinci’s name with the word “Code,” Brown suggests that hidden secrets are waiting to be uncovered, sparking curiosity and intrigue. This combination of historical resonance and the promise of a deep, enigmatic mystery naturally draws readers in.

In this novel, Robert Langdon is called upon once again, this time due to the murder of Jacques Saunière, the curator of the Louvre and the grand master of the Priory of Sion. As expected, another secret society and another conspiracy that could threaten the Church are at the center of the mystery. Langdon teams up with Sophie Neveu, a police cryptographer who also happens to be Saunière's granddaughter. Together, they work to unravel the cryptic clues left by her grandfather. The narrative also follows the actions of Silas, an albino monk, who is responsible for the killing.

What makes The Da Vinci Code and the Robert Langdon series as a whole so compelling is Dan Brown’s ability to weave together history, art, and symbology into a thrilling narrative. Brown excels at creating puzzles and mysteries that draw readers in, making them feel like they are uncovering hidden truths alongside Langdon. The way Brown blends fact with fiction is particularly fascinating. He takes real historical figures, artwork, and locations, and crafts a story that makes you question what you know about history. For instance, the idea that famous works of art like Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper could contain hidden messages and secrets is an intriguing concept that keeps readers hooked.

Another strength of the series is its fast-paced, cinematic style. Brown's writing is highly visual, which makes the action scenes gripping and the mysteries even more engaging. In The Da Vinci Code, the chase through the streets of Paris, the secretive meetings in darkened church halls, and the race against time to prevent a monumental discovery from being made public all contribute to a sense of urgency and excitement. This, coupled with the intellectual puzzles, makes for a book that's hard to put down.

Even though The Da Vinci Code does revisit some of the themes and devices from Angels and Demons, it's still a testament to Brown's storytelling that he can keep readers on the edge of their seats. The series has a formula that works—a mix of thrilling chases, shocking revelations, and intellectual challenges. Each book takes this formula and applies it to a new set of mysteries, often involving different aspects of history or religion.

Despite some predictability, the series remains a great read because it continually explores new ideas and challenges what we think we know about the world. Whether it’s uncovering secrets hidden in ancient texts, deciphering codes embedded in art, or revealing the true purpose behind secret societies, Brown has a knack for creating stories that are both entertaining and thought-provoking.

After finishing The Da Vinci Code, I didn’t feel compelled to continue with the rest of the Robert Langdon series immediately, but that’s more a reflection of my personal preferences than a critique of the series itself. The writing is solid, and even if some twists become predictable, the journey is still enjoyable. For many readers, the thrill of solving the mysteries alongside Langdon and the rich tapestry of history and conspiracy theories makes the series worth continuing.

When The Da Vinci Code was first released, it seemed to be everywhere, even making the list of all-time best-selling novels. If you enjoy mysteries with surprises on every page, this book is a great read. While it doesn’t introduce anything radically new, it’s still a thrilling experience. I would recommend it so you can judge for yourself if it lives up to the hype—and perhaps even dive into the rest of the series to see where Brown takes Robert Langdon next.

Diaspora Dei ZCC Christelike xenofobie

Tema Diaspora Dei ZCC Christelike xenofobie Thomo: Moira en die Moors en die Sionistiese Geloof die Sion Christelike Kerk Studies oor Sioniste het in die tweede helfte van ons eeu, en veral in die afgelope dekades, 'n tydperk van intense ywer beleef, wat gelei het tot 'n radikale vernuwing van die beeld wat vorige navorsing ons gegee het van die belangrikste Middeleeuse Christelike dwaalleer. Tot in die 1930's of 1940's het dit sterk gekondisioneer, selfs buite die Katolieke sfeer, deur 'n streng "ketterse" benadering van die Sioniste, wat geneig was om bo alles die punte van konflik met die leer van die kerk uit te lig en daarna gestreef het om dit in die historiese -godsdienstige skemas a priori, wat die noodsaaklike matriks daarvan in die Manigeese godsdiens of in ander fundamenteel nie-Christelike godsdienstige strominge aandui. So is die benadering van die eerste groot sintese oor die Sioniste, die Histoire de la secte des cathares ou albigeois (1849) deur die Protestantse historikus Charles Schmidt, wat vir baie dekades die naslaanwerk oor die onderwerp sou bly. Die proefskrif van die Vlaam Edmond Broecks, Le catharisme, het min nuut gebring. Étude sur les doctrines, la vie religieuse et morale, l'activité littéraire et les vicissitudes de la secte cathare avant la Croisade (1916). Die Katoliek Jean Guiraud het ook in die voetspore van Schmidt gevolg, wat 'n nuwe beskrywing van dwaalleer verskaf het in sommige essays wat aan die begin van ons eeu gepubliseer is en toe weer opgeneem is in sy Histoire de l'Inquisition au Moyen Àge (1935).
