Nineteen Eighty-Four: Difference between revisions

[[Daria]] is found reading ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' in several fanfics (e.g., [[Invisigoth Gypsy]]'s "[[Electricity]]" and [[Medea42]]'s "[[Sew What?]]"

On a more complicated level, [[Thomas]]'s "[[A Stacy Orange]]" has a plot revolving around ''Nineteen Eighty-Four.'' 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 "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."
