The Da Vinci Code Theme of Secrets

Nothing adds intrigue like a good secret, and The Da Vinci Code is chock full of 'em. There are secrets that have been passed down for generations in a secret society created for that very purpose, secrets embedded in famous masterpieces, and secrets that aren't actually so very secret at all (if it's in metaphor form, is it still a secret?).

Then there's the question of whether people are better off with the secrets remaining secret, or if the truth should be revealed no matter what the cost.
