1984

The novel is written in a dark, melancholic, and nightmarish mood, having a “black-and-white” air. It is written with an austere style of a monotonous-sounding prose. Overall, the environment is implied as dreary-looking, as seen from Winston’s eyes. As a matter of fact, the plot setting is simply a fictitious version of mid-1950’s geopolitical map. Just as the actual history saw three spheres of influence dominate the world, namely the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which was the…

In George Orwell’s book, 1984, the world was completely controlled by The Party, who shut out any type of good. When love is completely removed from a person’s life, they basically become empty and void of any good emotions. If a society in the real world was based on hate, it is highly unlikely that it would last. Hate leads to violence, and violence leads to death. I think that if America was based on hate, there would be a possibility that it would be like The Purge. In the movie, The Purge,…

among people which he embodies in 1984. This novel portrays Stalin and Hitler who had higher authority over everyone, the greed for power, belief of cleansing the world of wrong doings and total control. The Big Brother depicted in the novel was mostly the same as Stalin.

1. The contradictions in 1984 War is Peace and Ministry of Love serve on a grand scale of that the Party has the power to manipulate people into believing whatever they feed them. With their propaganda slogan war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength is all one huge contradiction in itself.

Mustafa#1 Mustafa Hadad Professor Weatherill ENG 1021 2, April, 2024 Constitution Essay In George Orwell's "1984" the absence of freedom of speech looms, casting a dark reality over every aspect of society.

The setting of the dystopian novel 1984 seems nightmarish and far-fetched. However, in some places the totalitarian rule of Big Brother is reality. In my opinion, the country that most resembles 1984 is North Korea. The society that main character Winston Smith lives in is characterized by overbearing government surveillance and mind-control of the population. Independent thought is completely outlawed, and people are regularly detained and severely punished if there is even the slightest…
