Title
The title of this novel “1984” doesn’t really seem to have any relation to the story. I recognized that the book was actually published in 1949, so I was so baffled as to why George Orwell chose this title. After doing additional research, I came to the conclusion that “1984” was just a catchy title that was chosen.

It is sad that these terrible things happen in Room 101, and this puts a vivid image of the horror into perspective.
Quotes
Who said it: “1984” is told in third person limited point of view through Winston’s life.
“To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone— to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink — greetings!” (Orwell 28) Winston wrote this quote in his diary to the people of the future. Winston has accepted the fact that Big Brother will be here the rest of his life. He still expresses hope in this quote though. It seems as if he still has hope that the party will be overthrown in the future.
