Power is something everyone has power over themselves or others. The way they chose to use it. We see the way the government hides lots of information and the hunger they have for power.

Big Brother was in control of all the people in the city and he used totalitarianism in order to keep the “peace.” Big Brother was an image that created the illusion of totalitarianism.
