1984

In modern society, people have seen the development of technology and the improvement of policy. But in George Orwell’s novel entitled 1984, set in a dystopian world, the protagonist named Winston who works for the Ministry of Truth in London. He finds love with Julia, and they begin to question the Party. The author portrayed the world in his novel was oppressive and totalitarianism. However, In George Orwell’s novel 1984, the dystopian world and the totalitarianism state will not develop in the future society. In the ways of the conformity, the reality control and laws and regulations.

George Orwell’s 1984 is more than just a novel, it is a warning to a potential dystopian society of the future. Written in 1949, Orwell envisioned a totalitarian government under the figurehead Big Brother. In this totalitarian society, every thought and action is carefully examined for any sign of rebellion against the ruling party. Emotion has been abolished and love is nonexistent; an entire new language is being drafted to reduce human thought to the bare minimum. In a society such as the one portrayed in 1984, one is hardly human. In George Orwell’s 1984, the party uses fear, oppression, and propaganda to strip the people of their humanity.

I am going to start by examining the genre of the novel. 1984 is one of the most popular novels of George Orwell’s work. When defining the genre, we can state that it is a dystopian, or negative utopian novel, since the writer aims to portray the worst human society imaginable to persuade readers to avoid any path that may lead towards it, while a novel of utopia does the exact opposite.

A dystopian novel is a story relating to or denoting an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. 1984 by George Orwell, is indeed a dystopian novel as it describes a nightmare vision of future society which is opposite to a perfect world. George Orwell creates this image using a few different techniques including, the language or style, the setting, characterization, and oppression.

The book 1984 has recently been the top book that has been ordered on Amazon and a lot of people have been reading it due to its relevance in today’s society. 1984 is a book about a dystopian society and the corruption that is involved in it. In recent times the book has become very popular. This essay will be about why people still read and discuss the book 1984 and why it is still relevant to today's society.

1984 is the story of a dystopian future with a totalitarian government with the leader, ‘Big Brother,’ watching over the people and controlling everyone's lives; even what they’re allowed to think. 1984’s biggest theme and message is a warning against totalitarianism and the dangers of the government gaining too much power. This premise of ‘too much power’ is best described in this quote: “People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of

1984 was wrote by George Orwell, in the story he created a hypothetical world 40 years from then. In this alternate future three authoritarian states have taken over the entirety of the world. These governments erase history that does not agree with their policies. Ingsoc, the government of oceania that country where the story takes place, used advance survival as all public and private areas had TVs which contained cameras; microphones were also used to keep tab on the citizens. George Orwell used the story to warn about the potential dangers of a large centralized governments, in this instance to warn about the dangers of communism. Because of the satirical purpose which Orwell had in writing 1984, the characters in the book tend favor a shadowy or two-dimensional

In 1984 there are many topics that are discussed that can give us an insight of the world we live in today. The government watching everything they do can teach us to be more thankful that our government is no longer like that. We have laws we must follow but we know that having that much control over the people isn’t right or healthy. Big Brother had control of most aspects of the people in Oceania. The parties would decide if you would get married to the person you wanted to be with, but you could not show any physically attraction to one another. If Big Brother wasn’t deciding the party was, no one people were to have any say or control in their lives. We know that that kind of control isn’t something that we would want for our society.

George Orwell presents us with an interesting portrayal of love in his novel, 1984. In the nation of Oceania that he writes about, the Party tries desperately to erase love for anything but Big Brother from the lives of its members. In many ways, it is successful in doing so. It causes Winston 's marriage with his wife Katharine to be frigid and cold and to end in separation. Even occasional affairs that sneak by the Party 's watchful eyes at first, like Winston and Julia 's, are eventually stopped and the participants are forced to stop loving each other. Perhaps the strongest love that remains in Oceania is the warped love of tortured towards his torturer. This love is displayed by Winston towards O 'Brien and remains

In general, the ability to think freely, have a variety of emotions, and express ourselves makes us human. In both “1984,” and often in our own society, these aspects of humanity are destroyed.

Overall, the majority of Cory Doctorow’s included code in Little Brother is influenced by 1984 by George Orwell. The parallels are ever evident since the cover page of Little Brother. The Party’s, or government present in 1984, leader is referred to as Big Brother. Big Brother watches everything, like how Marcus feels about Chavez High. On page 9 Marcus admits that he goes by the username of W1n5ton, Winston in Leetspeak. Leetspeak is the replacement of letters with numbers that resemble each other. The purpose of Leetspeak is the ability of communicating without keywords being able to be detected through a search engine. The main character of 1984 is named Winston Smith, and Leetspeak can sound familiar to Newspeak; the Party’s language void of words relating to revolt. O’Brien of 1984 is a superior of Winston, who is suspicious of him being against the Party. In Little Brother, Marcus encounters the same type of relationship with his teacher Ms. Galvez, though she never admits she is against the Department of Homeland Security. If Principle Benson was in 1984 he would definitely be a Party member with Charles being a Junior Spy, brainwashed into following Benson’s ways. In 1984, making a wrong facial expression at the wrong time could lead to arrest. Similar to Chavez High’s security guards searching and questioning students for making “odd movements” (131). Big Brother is able to keep track of London by placing cameras practically everywhere, compared to Marcus finding out “that there were hidden cameras in half the classrooms at Chavez High School” (85). Both majorly follow the setting of living through a time before a major culture change in both liberal cities of San Francisco and London – which could be tied back to Marcus’ mother being English. Both

1984, Orwell’s last and perhaps greatest work, deals with drastically heavy themes that still terrify his audience after 65 years. George Orwell’s story exemplifies excessive power, repression, surveillance, and manipulation in his strange, troubling dystopia full of alarming secrets that point the finger at totalitarian governments and mankind as a whole. What is even more disquieting is that 1984, previously considered science fiction, has in so many ways become a recognizable reality.

Dystopia: a society characterized by human misery and oppression. A Dystopian world is controlled by a government that can do no wrong. They weed out the individuals and groups that have the thought or intend to commit their lives to “dethroning” the ruler; Big Brother. The government will do anything to protect their way of life. They will go to the extremes of changing the past to control the future. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, the citizens live in a definitive dystopian world where the government forces the comrades to fit Big Brother’s purpose.

1984 is complex in the way it was written, the society has a sort or language it seems called doublethink. Doublethink is a backwards thing it makes things that are usually said the opposite of what they are usually, in example in

1984 has very intriguing aspects in it, and its very eye opening to put it into terms that suit a certain situation. To bring out my own fears and utopia is kind of hard, because we all try to think that we aren’t afraid of anything or the things that we are afraid of, would never scare us enough to make us say and do and believe things that we are completely against. Digging deep into your brain and picking apart each coil of your brain, each cell, taking out all the things that could genuinely make life perfect or a genuine living hell for you.
