Abstract | The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has led to a global pandemic with significant social, economic, and health impacts. Heightened anxiety, fear of death, and uncertainties have permeated modern life, resonating with themes explored in Don DeLillo's novel, "White Noise." This novel, published in 1985, delves into anxieties prevalent in contemporary society, akin to those experienced during the pandemic. Both contexts depict how external factors, such as media saturation and misinformation, influence behavior, relationships, and coping mechanisms. "White Noise" further examines the fear of death and fragility of human existence, echoing anxieties heightened by the pandemic. Amidst the challenges, both the novel and the pandemic illustrate human resilience and adaptability, seeking support and maintaining meaningful connections. Moving forward, addressing misinformation, promoting critical media literacy, and fostering empathetic communication will be crucial in navigating future crises and fostering mental well-being. |
