Delirium Allusions (Review # 4)

Allusions In the book Delirium by Lauren Oliver, love is considered a disease called amor deliria nervosa. Lena, the female protagonist, is about to go through a procedure to rid her of her feelings and the worst one, love. But Lena falls in love and this causes her all sorts of problems, from realizing that the government has been lying to her, losing the only people she knew as family, and dealing with the love of her life. Throughout the book there are many referances to real life books, authors, and stories. All of these have a reoccuring theme in the book by showing how far the government went to try and erradicate the feeling of "love". In this prezi, you can see the allusions used and what they signify. These allusions all connect and help propel Lena towards the truth of her society and how twisted it had become. They also allow readers to connect with the book because the allusions are commen and many people will know of them.
