The associations and general human interactions included in life will always affect the outcome of one's destiny. However, humanity remains fearful of their hope for connection. People are terrified of failing at finding relationships, of the disappointment of having to live a life of loneliness. Because without interpersonal bonds, our lives become valueless. Moreover, life in solitude would be a life void of purpose or fulfillment. The dystopian novel, 1984, explores a futuristic world where intimacy is strictly prohibited, in an attempt to maintain complete government control. Society, as a result, is oppressive and dismal, allowing for examination of relationships effects.
