Symbolic Portrayal Of Religion In Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons And The Da Vinci Code
Authors : Mostefaoui Youcef Zineddine .
Abstract
Literature with all its scopes, held the characteristic of realism within the folds of every story or idea shared by writers or thinkers. Sharing these ideas depended on their creators; some would exhibit the intended idea in the most explicit way possible, while others would embed it and keep it veiled for the entertainment of the reader or for the sake of puzzlement. Religion, being seen by some scholars as the center of literary studies, had to be present in either way and so do the ideas related to it. The present paper will discuss religious symbolism in literature through discussing the existence of imagery in two selected works of Dan Brown’s; Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. These works will attempt to display the nature of individual’s spirituality throughout the main character ‘Robert Langdon’, either to discover human’s relationship to the sacred or elsewise. Cinematographic adaptations of these artworks only proved to add to the beauty of conveying what must be. There was always a conflict as of whether cinematography, adaptations and Literary works were rivals but, through this research paper, lights will be shed on what binds them together for a better understanding of ideas that need deciphering.
