    Their society stresses the idea that love and sexuality is a duty. This has a direct effect on the main character Winston. His want to rebel against the party’s harsh social constraints combined with his failed first marriage to Katherine is a major driving force to a decision that affected many of his future decisions.

    Comparison Of George Orwell's Julia And O Brien: Chapter Analysis

    I loved how I was drawn into a world of constant duplicity, manipulation, and surveillance through this first chapter. The opening image sets a foreboding tone that continues throughout as the reader is introduced to Winston Smith. Immediately, the author depicts a society in decay by describing the "gritty dust," "hallways [smelling] of boiled cabbage and old rag mats," elevators out of order, and the electrical current that’s off during the day. I loved how the other characters are introduced through Winston's own perception. The main two that are described are Julia and, O’Brien.…

    From John Knowles’s A Separate Peace, the reader learns that while ignorance is bliss, it is short lived and can be devastating. While Finny wants to remain innocent, he has too much knowledge to convince himself that he is still ignorant. In his hopeless attempts to fight life itself, he fails to adapt before it is too late. In his feeble battle, Finny begins with denial. This refusal leads to anger, and finally acceptance.…

    Ignorance In The Most Dangerous Game, By Richard Connell

    Ernest Hemingway once said, “All things truly wicked start from innocence.” Although this observation holds much truth, I would assert that the flaws and the corruption of human nature stem from simple ignorance instead of innocence. In the case of human selfishness, we can glimpse upon how selfishness develops from ignorance at the beginning of the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game”, by Richard Connell. Whitney and Rainsford, both hunters, talk about how a jaguar may feel about being hunted, in which Rainsford justifies his hunting by saying that the game cannot reason. Subsequently, Whitney responds to this by saying that he believes that the quarry understands the “fear of pain and the fear of death”, at the very least.…

    1984 Hero Analysis

    In the dictionary a hero is defined as a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, Winston is both a hero and an antihero because he does not have the typical traits that would make him a hero, although he is only trying to stop the reign of Big Brother. In Oceania he was considered to have a “normal” life because he had good job and “friends”. But even with all this he was not satisfied with what he had he felt like he was being watched and controlled with everything he did. Due to the constant surveillance from the party he became more and more rebellious not only against big brother but also against anyone who would try to make him do…

    Winston began reading, then stopped to embrace and appreciate the peace and quiet that he was feeling around him. In the room he was reading in, “He was alone: no telescreen, no ear at the keyhole…” (Orwell 184). He enjoyed the serene environment, and then continued reading, finally stopping when he realized Julia had fallen asleep. When he finished for the night, he reflected upon what he had read and felt as if he fit in with the Brotherhood ideas, “But after reading it he knew better than before that he was not mad.…

    Orwell's Pursuit Of Free Will In Nineteen Eighty-Four

    ” There is an obvious change in Winston after his interrogation, and his mind is completely broken of rebellious behavior. This can be interpreted as a complete loss of personal freedom. The cause of his loss of personal freedom is not so obvious. It is Winston’s own pursuit of freedom that leads him to break laws and get sent to the Ministry of Love, where his mind is broken. Therefore, this pursuit of free will is the underlying cause of Winston’s loss of free will.…

    Individuality And Conformity In George Orwell's '1984'

    Mankind has always possessed two conflicting desires; the aspiration to fit in and the determination to stand out. These are two concurrent components of a complex system by which all human beings exist. But while these desires may clash with each other, an ideal life would be filled with an equal amount of both. These two forces are shown throughout George Orwell’s book, 1984. Winston violently hungers for Julia’s company because she is the only one that can understand him.…

    War Is Peace Freedom Is Slavery And Ignorance Is Strength

    During the year nineteen twenty-two, George Orwell served for the Indian Imperial Police in Burma where he witnessed British colonial life and was revolted at what the poor and weak had to endure (“George Orwell Timeline”). Orwell clearly knew about the misuse of power, since he was there first-hand to experience it in action. He was against the atrocious corruption within the government of Burma. Winston Smith - Orwell’s main character in Nineteen Eighty-Four - loathed a corrupted government as much as Orwell. Winston wanted nothing more than to revolt against the government he was trapped in.…

    The Theme Of Dreams In 1984 By George Orwell

    “First of all, dreaming connects” proclaims Dr. Ernest Hartmann in his scholarly journal Outline for a Theory on the Nature and Functions of Dreaming. Dreams cause some kind of connectivity with the imagination and the physical world. They are a series of thoughts and images that occur in a person’s mind during sleep. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, dreams are a recurring motif. Orwell’s use of dreams as a reoccurring motif reveals background, character development and foreshadows events to come.…
