1984 by George Orwell includes scenes of violence to enrich the novel and create sensual images which impact the truth behind the literature. George Orwell does a phenomenal job of contributing diction, detail, imagery, and syntax into each chapter which stimulates the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. By the end of the novel, it is easy to discover how different scenes of violence have an effect on the entire book. The totalitarian government in 1984 rejects originality of individuals and enforces rubbernecking through telescreens and spies to catch those repudiating the government’s regulations.

Charrington’s store by a hidden telescreen. After Winston and Julia become separated, Winston finds himself being reintegrated to party standards through learning, understanding, and accepting. “Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! I don’t care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her to the bones. Not me! Julia! Not me!” (286). These sentences have transformed Winston’s emotions to absolute fear. Winston being tortured by his worst fear: rats, made him betray Julia. The repetitiveness and exclamation points adds detail to what Winston is truly feeling. “Tear her face off, strip her to the bones” is a very vivid image that creates a sight of gruesomeness. The intense sentences allows Winston’s voice to be projected in room 101, the smell of the rat cage right in front of Winston’s face starts to develop a taste of fear that he spits out, and the touch or feeling of betrayal as he spits out the words introduces the acceptance level.

He was hurrying along with frozen hands and watering eyes when he saw her not ten meters away from him” (290-291). This quote inflects a depressing mood because Julia and Winston have both betrayed each other. From when they first met, it was joy and ambition, the mood has changed to sad and apathy. Even the season has changed from sunshine and bluebells in May to vile, biting day in March.

The wind blocks the air of silence between Winston and Julia, the smell of brittle March air, the taste of the biting March day connects to the loss of touch between Winston and Julia. Winston’s watering eyes are tears he’s shedding because of heartbreak. The sentences grew longer and the doleful adjectives reinforce the lost connection of their relationship.

Orwell wrote Winston’s last words saying “He loved Big Brother” (297), and that broke all hope from the beginning of the novel, leaving the reader in a
