Line 1: '''Nineteen Eighty-Four''' (sometimes written '''1984''') is a novel written by George Orwell, an English ~~novelist~~writer (1903-50). ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' is a science -fiction ~~novel~~tale about a man named Winston Smith, who longs for escape from life in a totalitarian society. At the end of the novel, his discontent is discovered and he is not only tortured into obeying the government, but into loving the all-controlling state as well. His free will is destroyed. ==Canon References== ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' is mentioned twice during the run of the series. It is one of the novels offered as part of [[Timothy O'Neill\|Mr. O’Neill]]’s reading assignment in "[[Write Where It Hurts]]." ~~Furthermore, in~~In "[[Psycho Therapy]]," when [[Daria Morgendorffer\|Daria]] learns that the purpose of the family's visit to [[Quiet Ivy]] is for a ~~family~~psychiatric evaluation, Daria checks her wrist and says, "Gee, look at the time.

In [[Victory Lane]], by [[Brother Grimace]], [[Daria]]'s mental state after intensive therapy is compared to Winston Smith's at the end of ''Nineteen Eighty-Four,'', when he "~~loves~~loved Big Brother." In [[The Angst Guy]]'s [[Daria 2007: The Girl from Hope]], Daria calls the school-supplied electronics that only used school programming that cannot be altered "goodthink," and [[Jane Lane\|Jane]] catches the reference. In "[[Darkness]]," by the same author, an unsubtle comparison is made between the theocratic American government and Orwell's totalitarian state with the appearance of a billboard showing the solemn face of Christ, with the legend, "JESUS IS WATCHING YOU."
