Dye! Dye! My Darling: Difference between revisions

Line 70:

"Because life is messy? and complicated? and layered? Maybe Daria never expected a guy to be interested in her—until Tom came along? Maybe she sat in the shadows crushing over the unattainable Trent for so long, she was blindsided by Tom’s attention? Maybe she admired Jane so much—because Jane was socially at ease, better looking, made out with guys, and didn’t have the same hang ups? Maybe Daria figured that Jane could land another guy easier than her? Maybe she thought Jane really wasn’t that into Tom? Maybe the writers wanted to make the storyline more interesting by creating a romantic conflict between Daria and Jane?"

===Jane forgiving?===

In a [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/glenninterviewsfull.html 2006 interview with Kara Wild], [[Glenn Eichler]] said one of the reasons Tom started as Jane's boyfriend was because "I thought the situation would allow us to explore and test Daria and Jane's friendship. That may have backfired, because a percentage of the viewers thought that Jane would never have forgiven Daria in real life. Maybe that's true. But maybe it's not. They're fictional characters. George Harrison forgave Eric Clapton, right?"

[[Anne D. Bernstein]], who wrote several episodes with the relationship, said [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/anneinterviewsfull.html in another Kara interview] that she did "think that it is believable that Daria would end up with someone who dated her friend first--so common in high school--and that it would be possible for Jane and Daria to work through that and remain close." (''She'' personally found Tom a bit dull though, though she felt there needed to be ''one'' male character who was "competent")
