Yeah so like case in point I don't know that Lord of the Flies is about "universal human nature" but if it's not about this kind of thing then what is it abouthttps://twitter.com/AJemaineClement/status/1259374994062299136 …

Man the shit where once Ralph realizes how badly things have gone off the rails he starts ranting and shouting "You can't let the fire go out, you idiots! That's the first rule!" And Jack shuts him down in classic bully style "He's talking like Piggy! He's turning into Piggy!"

I know I am slotting myself into a stereotype here but Piggy from LotF keeps on feeling very very relevant

An elderly relative saw consecutive children’s productions of Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm, and the two became fused in her mind (via pigs). I’d like to report that this resulted in new insights but it was actually just hella confusing

Piggy in LotF and Snowball in Animal Farm (and Goldstein in 1984, who like Snowball is a stand in for Trotsky) are pretty much the same character

The way Winston Smith thinks Goldstein's rebellion is the only hope for the future and yet when he watches the video of Goldstein in the Two Minutes Hate he's filled with the same rage and disgust and desire to beat him up at everyone else

In LotF we assume there’s an outside world still there and at the end it’s confirmed, whereas in 1984 all we ever find out is that there isn’t. Winston is totally surveilled, yet never seen
