Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Inferno (2013) is Dan Brown's sixth published novel and the fourth to star Robert Langdon, the protagonist of Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, and The Lost Symbol. As the title suggests, the plot is very heavy on references to Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy.Langdon wakes up in a Florentine hospital with a gunshot wound in the back of his head and a complete blackout about the last couple of days, including such important details as who shot him and how he ended up in Italy without any documents in the first place. Before long, the sinister Consortium's hitwoman catches up with the wounded professor, who barely escapes with some help from Sienna Brooks, a visiting ER doctor from Britain. Together, they have to uncover the truth about why Langdon is being hunted and what the whole thing has to do with Dante Alighieri and a prominent biologist who committed suicide a few days earlier in Florence.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Then, in the course of the novel, the entire premise gets turned on its head.A film of the book, directed by Ron Howard and with Tom Hanks reprising his role as Robert Langdon, was released on October 28, 2016. The cast includes Felicity Jones as Sienna Brooks, Irrfan Khan as Harry "The Provost" Sims, Sidse Babett Knudsen as Dr. Elizabeth Sinskey, Omar Sy as Christophe Bouchard and Ben Foster as Bertrand Zobrist.Spoilers ahead. | |

Title Drop: The references to Dante's Inferno are dropped constantly throughout the novel, both literally and metaphorically, but it actually refers to The Plague about to be unleashed on humanity. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
Dan Brown's Inferno / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Except for Langdon and Sinskey, every character from the book is made significantly more villainous in the film, especially Sienna, who willingly sacrifices herself to execute Zobrist's scheme rather than finding it monstrous like in the books. Zobrist's plague, rather than being a Sterility Plague, is strongly implied to actually be a deadly pathogen. Unlike in the book, however, Langdon and the WHO successfully prevent it spreading. The Consortium, while still specializing in grand-scale deception, is actually not afraid to really eliminate perceived liabilities. | |

You Are Too Late: Zobrist's Sterility Plague was quietly unleashed in Istanbul a week before the book's events take place (except for the prologue). The much touted date one day after Langdon's awakening is not the day the virus is released—it's the day it finishes spreading and infects every human being on Earth. | |

Downer Ending | |
Dan Brown's Inferno / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Zobrist succeeds in his plan to make one-third of the world's population infertile. Strangely enough, the main characters seem to take the stance that this is not such a bad thing. Granted, they were mentally preparing for a second Black Plague killing billions all around the world, so at least their relief at that moment is understandable. And considering that the alternative to the villain's success was humanity's extinction in about a hundred years, it was not that much of a downer ending, after all. This is averted in in the movie where they do succeed in stopping the plague from unleashing. | |

White-and-Grey Morality: Apart from the Consortium, a Punch-Clock Villain group by itself, the story really does not have a real bad guy as such. Even the Shade/Zobrist is portrayed as merely a Well-Intentioned Extremist—although most of his posthumous characterization comes from his lover and apprentice, whose views are naturally skewed in his favor. | |

Alas, Poor Villain: Vayentha's death becomes this in retrospect, after it's revealed that she never actually tried to kill Langdon, that Sienna has been the Big Bad all along, and that she killed Vayentha mainly to keep Langdon working for the wrong person. It's made even worse by the fact that this murder is never brought up again after The Reveal. In the movie, however, she does eventually receive the order to kill Langdon. | |

Linked List Clue Methodology: For once in a Dan Brown novel, this is fully justified: Zobrist never intended to give Sinskey, his perceived Arch-Nemesis, any chance of stopping his plan by solving his riddles in time—he only wanted to have a last laugh at her attempt, even if he doesn't get to see it. Therefore, he arranged his riddle to be delivered to her by the time the Inferno has long been released into the wild. | |

GenderMisdirection | |
Dan Brown's Inferno / int_cb0bc30e | comment |
Gender Misdirection: At least twice: When Agent Brüder reports to "his superior", you assume it's the provost, who is also on the phone around the same time—but it's actually Elizabeth Sinskey, which you are not supposed to learn until much later in the story. When "FS-2080", whom you probably identified as Jonathan Ferris, describes "his" first encounter with Zobrist (which results in a supposedly homosexual relationship), it's actually Sienna's memories you are reading. | |

Anti-Villain | |
Dan Brown's Inferno / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Sienna may be the Big Bad of the story, but she is clearly against Zobrist's scheme and wants to find his research so that she could destroy it. This is averted in the film adaptation. | |

Red Herring | |
Dan Brown's Inferno / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Hoo boy. Dan Brown has really outdone himself on this one. The scary biohazard-marked cylinder that Langdon finds on his person? Actually, its contents aren't dangerous at all; Sinskey just needed to place the object in a secure container before giving it to Langdon. The Consortium's killer squad that storms Sienna's apartment? Actually, an emergency response group of the WHO, ostensibly the good guys for whom Langdon was working before his amnesia and who desperately tried to establish contact with him, not to kill him. Why did they keep Sinskey locked up and drugged, then? She has a rare medical condition that required it, and they were just taking care of their boss. The menacing hitwoman Vayentha who nearly offs Langdon twice? Actually, the Consortium's specialist on Death Faked for You called in to make Langdon believe he is targeted and solve the riddles for the Consortium. The poor, unfortunate Dr. Brooks whom Langdon drags into this mess? Actually, a Double Reverse Quadruple Agent who dupes Langdon, the Consortium, and eventually the WHO to keep her lover and mentor Zobrist's research out of their hands—and to destroy it herself. Basically, she is the Big Bad of the story. The plague-infected spy who stalks Langdon and Sienna in Florence? Actually, he is just with the World Health Organization and merely has a bad case of contact allergy that looks like plague symptoms to the uninitiated—oh, wait, that's not true, either... The mysterious FS-2080 who gains their trust en route to Venice? Actually, FS-2080 is Sienna herself, see above, while Jonathan Ferris works for the Consortium, and is basically the same guy whom Vayentha "killed" in the hospital earlier. The sinister Plague that the Consortium's client plans to unleash on the world? Actually, a "mere" Sterility Plague to control the world's population growth. Also, he is not "planning" it. He already unleashed it six days ago. | |

Suicide Attack: In the film Sienna tries to activate the bomb that will burst the bag of viral agent with her cellphone, but can't get reception. So she dives into the water and sets it off manually. | |
