Abstract

This essay aims to point out one of the greatest global health problems through the work of Dan Brown, Inferno. The main investigation topic of this essay is constructed around the issue of overpopulation. Throughout the analysis of this issue, apart from the message given in Brown’s novel, modern public health literature and data are also used in order to advocate the crucial point of population growth. Hence, to define the purpose of this essay, the following research question can be put forward: “In what ways does Dan Brown’s novel “Inferno” reflect the global health problem of overpopulation and through what events and characters does he reflect his idea of hell?” For a clear flow of ideas and concepts, this essay is subdivided into 9 parts. The first part is the “Introduction” in which the main idea of overpopulation and how it is interpenetrated into Inferno is introduced. The next part, “A wake-up call through fiction”, aims to expand the consequences of overpopulation and analyze to what extent it is responsible for a world that shall resemble, as proposed by the villain, the image of hell created by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century. The following parts include; analysis of the role of Dante and his Divine Comedy, interpretation of nature’s balance in terms of overpopulation, and the evaluation of the concept of hell from different perspectives embedded in the novel. The “Conclusion” will draw upon the present situation of the world and point out where it is headed if its natural resources were to be consumed with higher and higher amounts.
