    Dystopian Novels

    • 720 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The book I have chosen is “1984” by George Orwell. I have always been interested in dystopian novels, I like getting transported into these crazy worlds, where the weak points of our society come out and burst and 1984 is the dystopian novel par excellence. I read both the English and the Italian version, I saw the movie but I did not enjoy it as much as the book. The thing I like the most about George Orwell’s masterpiece is the atmosphere: the very first page of the book drives us into the cold and grey town of London, capital city of what once had been called England but now is called “Airstrip One”. We meet the main character, Winston Smith, in “a bright cold day in April” while the vile wind blows. The hallway of Victory Mansions, where Winston lives, smells of “boiled…

    Silence In Novels

    The Peculiarities of Words, Their Meanings, and Their Place in Novels The contrast between the usage of words and silence in these novels creates two separate ideas of how language works within a novel. As Woolf states in “Craftmanship,” “It is words that are to blame. They are the wildest, freest, most irresponsible, most unteachable of all things… But words do not live in dictionaries; they live in the mind” and that is why there is such a radically different approach to them in these two…

    • 508 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Symbolism in novels can show you what’s really hiding in between the lines. In George Orwell’s “1984” and Allan Moores’ “V for Vendetta”, they both contain points of symbolism that are similar and different to each other. From V’s assortment of roses and Winston’s glass paperweight, these symbols have a major role in the story by affecting the characters, setting, and other elements. The symbols also affect the theme(s) which overall can change the book’s meaning. In Orwell's "1984,"…

    Reading A Dystopian Novel

    • 563 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Who we are is determined by what we know, and what we know stems from what we have learned and what we have learned comes from that we have listened to, watched and most importantly, what we have read. It would be foolish to say that what we have read has not impacted the way that we live. Whether it is an idealistic young adult novel that teaches the readers to take a risk, or a depressing dystopian novel that teaches us to protect what we believe in and to not be afraid to question the world…
