there is some situational irony at the end that completely changes everything. Another quote from Rumpelstiltskin says, “ ‘What will you give me’, said the little man, ‘the little child you may have when you are queen’, ‘That may never be,’”(Grimm brothers).

The novel 1984 and the film The Matrix have many common themes and characters, but are also very different stories. The first similarity of the two works is between 1984’s Thought Police and The Matrix’s agents. In 1984, the Thought Police control everything and are always watching; looking for inappropriate actions, behaviour, or even expressions. On the other hand, the agents do very similar things in the matrix and through this they have created a “prison for the mind” (Wachowski and…
