Analysis Of 1984 By George Orwell

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.

The book 1984 is a prediction of what the world would be like in the future. The prediction of the future in this book was made all by the writer's imagination. In reality, there are a few scenarios that are evident in today’s society that the writer predicted. For example, in 1984 there is a lot of invasion of privacy that occurs. Although in the book it is much more serious than today, there are times that the government is able to invade your privacy if they have a warrant or if there is suspicion. A serious case that caused issues for many people is when the government was accused of tapping into phones to try and stop terrorists. Many people found this to be a serious invasion of privacy, while others found it settling that the government was trying to protect the nation.

George Orwell’s 1984 shows us the dangers of a society who never was allowed to have a childhood. In 1984 children do not get to experience adolescence. They are not allowed to think for themselves which results in a society which conforms to whatever they are told. Children join an organization known as the Thought Police. Here they are told to keep an eye on adults and make sure they do not speak or rebel against their government. All of society conforms to government, eventually even the rebels conform.

        In 1984, the government would change the history, therefor controlling the present, which therefore controlls the future. They would lie about events that have occured pastly and presently so that they people were oblivious to reality. They use double speak, just like they did in 1984, to minimize or create ambiguity in reality. Did you know that as of 2003, the court ruled that the media can lie to the public? How do we know what is really going on and how do we know what is true? We can not entrust the government anymore, and that is a sad truth.

One reason why the book 1984 is still relevant in today's society is politics. The government, is in a way just like 1984. Both governments are secretive and practice doublespeak.Doublespeak in our society means saying one thing, but meaning another. According to Elizabeth Williamson of The New YorkTimes Paper, “Donald Trump had a private meeting in New York with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt on

1984 is a cautionary tale. A cautionary tale is a tale that is told in a folklore, to warn they people reading of danger. There are three different parts to a cautionary tale, though they can be introduced in a lot of different ways. What I think about whether or not we as a society have taken his cautions into account is good. Letting the government what to think. They are taking information from 1984 and having yourself and not letting anyone else tell you what yo say. Your getting information right from a source for you to make before you create an opinion about it. 1984 is about the government controlling what you say. I think it's a cautionary tale because it is telling you

“We’re living ‘1984’ today” is the title of a CNN article written in 2003 as well as other numerous other articles discussing whether the predictions made by George Orwell in his novel 1984 have materialized into today’s world. Not only has Orwell predicted the advancements in advancements in surveillance, but also how governments today have been able to manipulate the press as well as the youth. In George Orwell’s novel, 1984, George Orwell warns us about how governments will revoke the privacy rights of humans to provide security, control the press and language to ensure a lack of rebellion, manipulate the minds of children in order to create a new generation of followers.

The society of “1984” is a reminder to show us that the future may look like this, if nothing is being done to prevent it or change it. Also “1984” is portraying the possible effect and what the world may seem like in the future, if the government has absolute power and control of the people. Orwell needed to grab the attention of the audience, so therefore he distorted the world that we live in and shaped it into the world of “1984”. The encounter of the government is uncommon to be seen. We, the people of America, take the rights that are given to every citizen for granted. We take everything for granted until a change of where the wind blows and that is when we begin to realize the privileges that we are blessed with. Nonetheless, Orwell presents the use of distortion in order to portray to the people the consequences of a government that is constantly bird-watching the citizens and ensuring that they are enforcing absolute loyalty to the power and control over the entire society. Because The Party, is obsessed with absolute power

Despite 1984 being written more than 60 years ago, it is still relevant to this day. The book 1984 contains many aspects that can still be relatable today. It also serves as a warning for the future that still applies today.

The author created an alternate dimension where the future was a nightmare: being watched at all times, no private moments, and no ties to anyone except Big Brother were allowed. 1984 is an endeavor by Orwell to make the public face their reality head on, to make them realize that they are capable of choosing their way of life. Choosing powerful themes, he wants to awaken primal emotions in his audience; he wants them to struggle under the finger of Big Brother and not be tolerant of such dictatorship. Orwell needs people to think and decide for themselves what they want in life. He doesn’t want to them to follow submissively but guide and construct their own future by any means

This leads me to the allegory present in 1984. As you all know, an allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. If you think back to the time in which the novel was written, just after WWII, and just after Stalin’s time in power, the political message becomes very clear. Big Brother, and his oppressive nature are

The government in 1984 controls its population by creating a setting where no one has the freedom to act without a someone watching them. The government does this by requiring all citizens of the Party to own a telescreen. By monitoring the activities of members of the party, the government can keep citizens obedient and fearful.

The book 1984 tells a story of a world that is undergoing a totalitarian rule, whereby the freedom of human beings is removed and there is injustice present to all by the loss of privacy. It is a world where information can be changed and influenced in order to favour the Great Powers, I believe that this world of 1984 is possible for its looming signs are present worldwide.

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

As human beings, there are distinct characteristics that separate us from feral animals; the ability to create, to appreciate art, to curiously question the world and most importantly to sympathize for our kind. However, when that exact nature is stripped from us, we tend to become mindless, restricted, cold, and degraded as an entire race. This is the setting of George Orwell’s last book, 1984. A world where human thought is limited, war and poverty lie on every street corner, and one cannot trust nobody or nothing. It is all due to the one reigning political entity, the Ingsoc Party, who imposes complete power over all aspects of life for all citizens. There is no creative or intellectual thought, no art, culture or history, and no
