My essay is based around the concept of the Holy Grail. Basically, there are two forms of Grail belief, Theory and Bloodline. The most known form of grail belief is that of theory. The theory of the grail has been in many movies and literature. An example of this would be Indiana Jones. Theory consists of a cup or chalice. This is utilized in many different forms of the theory. In some, it is used as a cup at the last supper, and others used as a chalice that held the blood of Jesus.
The bloodline of Jesus is currently becoming quite popular. Theories of bloodline have been around for centuries although just becoming popular because of the books, The Da Vinci Code and Holy Blood, Holy Grail. The idea of a holy grail has been a hot topic for centuries and many theories play into the idea of it. The theories I will be discussing are the feminist criticism and Marxist criticism. Marxist criticism is evident in the book The Da Vinci Code with the cover up by the church to suppress women. This also plays hand in hand with feminist criticism, as a result of the inequality of women in the Catholic Church for centuries.
