·      Yes, some difference I found in the portrayal of Women character in films. Women are always portraying as a double marginalized one. In reality women can suffer a lot. Now a day, we can found some changes in the position of women. If we talked about Ophelia in Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet, she is very intellectual or slight different than the Hamlet of Shakespeare. Kenneth Branagh takes more freedom in portraying woman. At the end Ophelia goes in madness and she died. Elizabeth also killed in the movie. Hester Prynne is out casting from the society. And all these three women are portraying from the point of view of male or through the eyes of male. But obvious, that the body of women more objectified. Hermione and Sophie’s physical appearance is more controlled in film. Both are very intellectual. No doubt that the movie’s theme “Feminine Sacredness” is played a vital role in portraying the female character like Sophie. But what camera played is also important thing.

The power of the female and her ability to produce life was once very sacred, but it posed a threat to the rise of the predominantly male Church, and so the sacred feminine was demonized and called unclean. 

·      According to me the narrative and the story of the novel “The Da Vinci Code” is more agreeable, more convincing to the contemporary youth. Other thing is every age has its youth, which can be conditioned and is conditioned from ages. If the youth is having space to spread their horizons, then they would not be satisfied with even the narratives like “The Da Vinci Code”. It is desirable that youth should not be convinced by any of these three narrative. But the attraction of most of the young people will certainly go for “The Da Vinci Code” rather than “Genesis” and “Paradise Lost”.

·      ‘Knowability’ it means person don’t know that what he don’t know Robert Langdon or Sophie or Leigh Teabing or even Silas all are in quest of knowledge. They see it in holy grail but ultimately they want to ‘know’ something. And when the knowledge dawns upon Langdon or Sophie it comes as an abstract thing
