Both novels that are written by George Orwell, Animal Farm and 1984, contain the common qualities of totalitarianistic governments such as: being ruled by a single party and having total control of the military, communication, and the economy. Big Brother in 1984 and the duplicitous pigs in Animal Farm are both representative of a form totalitarianism. The abusive nature of governments is present in both Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984. In Orwell’s Animal Farm, the pigs act as form of…

its individuality; an essential part of a successful society. George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984 creates a world consumed by a totalitarian regime, which contravenes every aspect of government today. Oceania’s government is known as the Party, led by the mystical, omnipotent Big Brother. It is unclear as to whether this figure exists, or is merely created to show authority through a single being.

George Orwell’s 1984 is a dystopian novel written in 1949 to warn society about the dangers of communism. In a country where the only political mechanism is the Party, run by Big Brother, the population is constantly monitored through the use of telescreens, and all opponents of the Party virtually disappear.

Published in 1948 and set thirty-six years in the future, 1984 is Orwell’s dark and dirty vision of the future. The novel is a depiction of how the power of the government could come to dominate the lives of their citizens. This satire shows how Winston Smith’s personality is wiped out and re-created in the Party’s image. In 1948, when the novel was written, World War II had just ended. Orwell’s experiences and feelings during and after the times of war are reflected and represented through…

In the book 1984 by George Orwell, the world of big brother is not like any other world. In the world of big brother there are telescreens in everyone and persons house. The telescreens know and see what you are doing and saying. It is similar in are world but not there. We are watched everyday by surveillance cameras but not in our houses.

We are constantly being watched and might not be aware of it. In the novel “1984” by George Orwell the citizens of London did not have an ounce of freedom. They were constantly watched over and were not allowed to have thoughts of their own. Freedom is a precious thing and should be valued because we have the right to our…

Welcome back to my blog!!! From what I read so far about Book 1 of 1984, I can finally see the similarities between this novel and Frankenstein. Most importantly, both of these novels gave me a clear understanding of what monster actually meant. In 1984, Winston lives in a dark and depressing world that is controlled by the totalitarian government called as the Party. Winston is the only one that realizes that the Party is actually controlling the lives of the citizens. Most of the citizens…

In the following essay I will be summarizing the book “1984” by George Orwell and representing my inquiries on parts of the book that I find controversial. The book “1984” starts out with the main character Winston Smith describing the city he currently lives in, London. He lives in a dystopian communist society that is based upon the properties of something called INGSOC and three basic slogans; War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength. The apparent supreme ruler of…

1984 George Orwell challenges the idea of what a real world is in his novel “1984”. Rather than allowing his world-building and storytelling abilities he goes for a more mysterious and psychological route in his story. He goes about questioning the very concept of what a “world” could be. Identifying the easy manipulations that are current in our society even now. O’Brien makes it clear that the place he is writing in, is an objective reality. The objective realities of Winston and the…
