Daria Morgendorfer - the main character of the cartoon about cynicism and other principles of existence

American authors Susie Lewis and Glen Eichler created in 1997 a cartoon series "Daria", which was successfully demonstrated on MTV until 2002. In addition to the main line of the show, "Daria" became the plot branch of another series - "Beavis and Butthead", in which she is presented as a secondary character.

Cynicism and its motivation

The main character - Daria Morgendorfer, takes part in almost every series and is in the center of the plot. It has a special dialect, and its phrases balance on the verge of cynicism, but they are nevertheless always sufficiently motivated. Daria changes her face very rarely, the same thing happens with her voice - extremely monotonous and expressionless.

As for the series "Beavis and Butthead", in it Daria is represented by an episodic character - a developed girl, against which Butt and Bevis (the main characters) look rather silly. In the course of the series, they often called Darya "Diarrhea" out of some of their considerations. However, the antics of Beavis and Butthead did not irritate the girl: she calmly watched them, while receiving a kind of pleasure.

Daria Morgendorfer in the series about Beavis and Butthead looks like an unformed angular teenager, although in the main project she is already quite rounded, graceful girl. But as we see, in the film, the main thing is not the form, but the content.

In principle, the animated series "Daria" is a separate story, with different characters and events developing in a different way. At the beginning of the film, the heroine is only sixteen, and in the last series, as well as in the full-length film called "And soon college?" - she's already eighteen.

Moving and its results

In the first series, Daria and her family moved from Highland, where her studies took place in company with Beavis and Butthead, in Lawndale. The senior school in this city is an order of magnitude higher in many positions. In addition, Daria Morgendorfer on one of the first days gets acquainted with Jane (in a series called "The Self-Esteem").

In the series "Daria" the heroine is more cynical, asocial and sarcastic than in the animated film "Beavis and Butthead". Her only girlfriend is Jane Lane, an artist. In the course of the development of the plot, Daria is apathetic, does not follow the fashion, does not pay attention to what she is wearing, and all her outfits are boring and utilitarian.

In most episodes of "Daria" independent subjects stem from situations in which the schoolgirl gets - cynical and independent. In the series, Daria's school years are shown in full, which ends with her college entrance.

Funny

Of course, there was no way to do without the comic effect, so the authors focused on everyday life in a provincial town, with all sorts of characters, mostly stereotyped. Part of the material is presented from a third party, as if seen by Daria's eyes.

One day the girlfriends undertook to discuss their peers: their hobbies, attitude to fashion and other important things. Daria confesses that she is in love with her brother Jane, who is called Trent, and complains to her friend that she can not find the strength to admit her feelings. However, later Daria Morgendorfer was shocked by Trent's irresponsibility and realized that they were incompatible. Jane knew about it from the very beginning, but kept quiet, she wanted Daria to understand for herself what was what.

Events began to develop in the most interesting way in the fourth season, when Jane began to meet with Sloan Tom - a guy from a rich family. Initially, Daria was strongly opposed to this alliance, but she had no idea why this was happening.

And when Jane cooled to Tom, then Daria felt that she did not mind to visit her friend's place and close to communicate with Tom. Mutual relations of the three took a comical form, amused the audience and, by and large, decorated the last series.

Characters of the series "Daria"

Actors in the film are more than enough: the main character is Daria Morgendorfer, her family members, Jane's girlfriend, Trent is her brother. These characters appear in every series.

The series "Daria" consists of five full seasons, in each of which there are thirteen episodes. In addition, the structure of the series includes two full-length animated films. The first one is called "Is autumn coming soon?" And the second one "Is college coming soon?".

Modernity in the series

Show and criticize the pop culture in its stereotypes was the primary task of the authors. That's why the main character - Daria is so cynical, asocial, irreconcilable and clearly opposed to peers.

In the image of Daria, many postulates are ridiculed: modern culture, questions of self-identification, conformism and fashion as such

She often watches the show "The Sick Mad World", which parodies modern programs. In them, there must necessarily be a sensation on the subject of something perverted or supernatural.

As for the names of the series, they are presented in the form of puns or modified allusions to famous films. In the end, when there are titles, you can see the main characters of the series in the guise of other characters. For example, Tiffany in the form of Pokemon, or Joey, Jamie and Jeffrey as the three main characters in the movie "Where are you, brother?" It's also interesting that Daria's friend Jane is represented as the Statue of Liberty.

Quotes

Often, Daria's worldview takes the form of near-literary phrases and then she begins to quote herself:

• "I do not have a low self-esteem ... I have a low self-esteem of others."
• "So many opportunities to express their hatred, right eyes run up."
• "Hell is other people ... But no, hell - this is me."

Daria Morgendorfer, quotes of which are born with the speed of a bee swarm, is thinking about acquiring a folio entitled "For records of random thoughts".
