Left Hand Side

Throughout the book, there is a lot of talk about the sacred feminine and how it has been vandalized and tarnished throughout time to degrade women and destroy pagan religions that worshiped the feminine. Dan Brown includes famous historical events such as the crusades and the witch hunts and talks about their significance to the theme. He also uses a lot of latin words and roots to show the influence of the church and their actions against the feminine. The left which is accosiated with women has been associated with evil. The French and Italian words for left: gauche and sinistra, now have deep negative connotations. Evil things are sinister.
