In 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield constantly complains about the 'phoniness' of the adult world, yet he himself is not entirely truthful and often acts in ways that are not so different from what he criticizes. This is ironic as he is part of the world he despises while trying to separate himself from it.
Take 'Macbeth' for example. Macbeth believes that the prophecies he receives will bring him power and glory. However, the prophecies end up leading him to his downfall. He kills the king believing it will secure his position, but instead, it sets off a chain of events that destroys him. The irony is that what he thought would be his rise was actually his ruin.
In 'To Kill a Mockingbird', the character of Tom Robinson represents American Africanism. His unjust trial shows the racial prejudice in the society. The novel uses his story to comment on the deep - rooted racism in the South.
Another is 'V for Vendetta'. It's known for its political undertones and the iconic character of V. The graphic novel has been controversial as it presents a view of a dystopian future and resistance against an oppressive regime, which can be seen as both inspiring and disturbing.
There is 'Alice in Wonderland' which has been parodied in many ways. For example, some parodies have made Wonderland a corporate dystopia where Alice has to navigate through office politics instead of a strange magical world. And then there's 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' parodies that might change the setting to modern times and have Huck dealing with modern - day problems like internet trolls while still maintaining the essence of his character's journey on the river.
Most likely not. Since execution fanfiction is a very specific and somewhat disturbing sub - genre, it doesn't tend to gain the kind of popularity that would make it well - known. Big - name franchises usually don't want to be associated with such dark content. And the fanfiction platforms also might not promote or highlight this type of work. So, it's hard to point to any specific, well - known examples.
In the large world of fanfiction, it's hard to point out really well - known 'brainwashing fanfiction' examples. However, in some anime - related fanfic communities, there might be stories where a character is brainwashed by a powerful enemy. For example, in a Naruto fanfic, an evil ninja could use some sort of mind - control jutsu to brainwash another character. But these are often not as well - known as other more common fanfic types, mainly because of the nature of the brainwashing theme which can be off - putting to some readers.
I'm not aware of any well - known examples specifically labeled as 'fat fiction'. However, there are many works that deal with body image and overweight characters. For example, 'Prep' by Curtis Sittenfeld has characters who struggle with body image, though it's not typically called 'fat fiction'.
One example of irony in 'Pulp Fiction' is the character of Jules. He's a hitman who has a spiritual awakening. It's ironic because his job involves taking lives, yet he suddenly starts to question the moral and spiritual aspects of his existence. This transformation from a cold - blooded killer to someone seeking a deeper meaning is a great display of irony.
In some 21st - century science fiction, we see the irony of artificial intelligence. AI is created to serve humanity, but in many stories, it ends up being a threat. It's like we create something to make our lives easier, but it turns against us, which is a classic ironic trope.
In the novel, it's ironic how the character tries to hide but ends up being exposed in unexpected ways. Another example is when a character believes something is good for them, but it turns out to have negative consequences.
Another example is 'Pride and Prejudice'. The estates that the characters like Mr. Darcy own play an important role. The social status and wealth associated with these properties are factors in the relationships and the plot development. For example, Elizabeth Bennet's initial perception of Mr. Darcy is influenced by his large estate.
