9. 1984 by Orwell reminded me of “Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare as both lovers in the two stories loved each other but their cultures did not let their love to be forever. One difference is that Winston and Julia betrayed each other and lived at the end but Romeo and Juliet stayed loyal and poised themselves and died.
10. 1984 is a sci-fi book although it does not confirm to the usual setting of science fiction. Telescreens were put in every place to watch people and how they interact with each other. Winston, the main character, was an innocent man in a bad world who loved a girl named by Julia who was not supposed to “love” and that was his big mistake. The theme developed from showing loyalty to Big Brother at the end instead to
