The word "infamous" appears in literature with a rich variety of connotations—from marking the notorious character of an individual to characterizing a deed or circumstance with a heavy moral stain. Authors such as Oscar Wilde, Alexandre Dumas, and Victor Hugo often use “infamous” to cast both personal failings and broader societal ills in a striking light. For example, it is deployed as a label for characters whose reputations precede them, as when Dorian Gray is scornfully accused of being “infamous” [1, 2] or when historical figures like Alexander VI are noted for their notorious conduct [3]. In some texts the term intensifies the gravity of events or actions, such as labeling a treacherous murder or the corrupt practices of a regime as “infamous” [4, 5, 6]. At times, its use even carries an ironic twist, encapsulating a dual nature of disdain and bitter humor about society’s faults [7, 8]. Whether denouncing a personal betrayal or lamenting the legacy of a grim era, “infamous” serves as a versatile literary device that imbues both character and circumstance with a weighty, universally recognized negative charge [9, 10].
