| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Today, the Feminine Divine returns into the scene in different domains such as arts, media, music, movies, and literature. The Feminine Divine or the Sacred Feminine becomes a new trend in contemporary literature. Different authors start to challenge the traditional representation of the divine and give a new radical representation of divinity. Sue Monk Kidd and Dan Brown are among those authors who give a new representation of the Divine in their works. This dissertation is intended to examine the how Kid and Brown have represented the Feminine Divine in their novels The Secret Life of Bees and The Da Vinci Code. In addition, it also analyses the new role of women in the novels. In order to find answers to the research questions, the analytical approach and feminist theology are used. The result of this study shows that in both The Da Vinci Code and The Secret Life of Bees the divine was represented as feminine. For The Da Vinci Code, the divine is represented through Mary Magdalene a female character, while in The Secret Life of Bees the divine is represented through the Black Madonna a female and black character. | en_US |
