Before a person can truly be betrayed by another, indefinite trust must be placed in them. A trust, that if broken, can ultimately ruin a bond and the lives of each of those involved. This unfailing truth is a prominent occurrence in the novel 1984 by George Orwell. The idea of trust being put into another person and later resulting in a final betrayal has an immediate impact with the book’s main character Winston Smith, who experience these same threads. Other themes, including love, lead to…

I think the author includes chapter 4 to give the characters some depth, maybe foreshadow, and give us some philosophy for the time. It shows us how Lennie gets worked up, and calms down very simply, almost like a switch. Seen when Crooks is messing with him, telling him that George will never come back. Then we see how easily he’s talked down from his state of rage by being told that of course George is coming back. This chapter also gives us a more detailed profile of Crooks. How he has the…

The most significant lesson of a story is found in its ending. Children’s stories often give the impression that good always trumps evil, and as such, the hero always wins. The stories one encounters when they are older have more critical and realistic perspectives on certain situations. 1984 and Elysium are excellent examples of this. Both of the protagonists in these works are anti-heroes who struggle to fit in and thrive in their societies. They do not achieve their goals merely because they…

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. They want them to believe that war is peace or equals that they are the exact same when they are exact opposites, they try to imprint the freedom is slavery when freedom is defined as one’s…

In Brave New World the government controls the society which all fails because being under control being observed and being synthetically manufactured in a test tube factory does not make natural selection all natural anything the factors of learning to live living to learn is all put out the window because they think that manufacturing people will make life more easier in simple won't be any fights any wars any diseases people live longer what they don't realise is the taken away people's…

A government with total control over its people is something all capitalists fear. In George Orwell’s 1984, he perfectly portrays the effects of government control in his dystopian society. Orwell’s warnings concerning government control are becoming quite evident in today’s society. In the novel 1984, the main setting is Oceana, a futuristic England. Orwell’s Oceana “portrays a future totalitarian world, ruled by a seemingly, omnipotent tyrant called Big Brother” (Perloff 27). The Party is a…

Would you rather live in a world of constant, but artificial happiness or one that is constantly striving for improvement? Our society is inherently flawed, as a we as humans, but we continue to grow and improve. Aldous Huxley examined a world where some of these foundations were removed and thereby creating a Utopia in his novel, Brave New World. He did so by handing the all controlling government power over the people. Humans hatched from test tubes and genetically engineered to be of a…

The juxtaposition of chapters 14 and 15 show the opposing points of view during the Dust Bowl. Chapter 14 shows the plight of the weary, of the poor, and of the farmers. Chapter 15, on the other hand, illustrates the perspective of the small store owners, the people who are neither wealthy nor impoverished. The collocation of the two chapters emphasizes the vast, gaping difference in wealth and social standing between the laborers and the company owners at the time, and it also allows the…

Power is infinite. “Absolute power corrupts absolute” in the novel 1984 By George Orwell speaks of how the government rules all. Those with the power become corrupt and power hungry. The country Oceania is controlled by those who know and how to use power, but not in the best way possible. In the appendix of the novel, Orwell states on a page 309 “Newspeak was the official language of Oceania” readers can infer that Newspeak, the language that every citizen spoke in Oceania, vanished. What…
