THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE END:NARRATOLOGY AND ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS IN INFERNO

Abstract

This article analyzes, from a comparative perspective, Dan Brown's book Inferno and its film adaptation, directed by Ron Howard. In the analysis of Inferno, the narratology between the book and the film and its implications are explored. Using the comparative approach, modified, suppressed or additional elements in the film work are identified, as well as the ethical and moral inferences of the narrative that are explored through the perspective of biopolitics, in order to understand how these concepts and changes affect the diegesis and imply the current cultural and social context in order to produce critical thinking about the issues addressed in the works. Use theorists such as Gérard Genette (1995); Foucault (1999); Jonas Hans (2006) and Robert Stan (2006), who are considered for the creation of this research. This study contributed to understanding literary and cinematographic adaptation processes in the work Inferno.

Keywords: Literature; comparatism; film narratology; biopolitics.
