Analysis Of George Orwell 's ' 1984 ' As Well As His Politics And English Language

The fictional novel, 1984 by George Orwell is about a world run by a totalitarian government, called the Party, which takes away all the freedoms of its citizens by watching over them with high surveillance technology. In addition, the Party uses dishonesty and betrayal to expose people’s true feelings of Oceania, the country where the story takes place. Betrayal is seen throughout society in Oceania through government manipulation and actions made by Winston, Julia and O’Brien, the main characters. Winston’s true self-betrayal comes when he realizes his new passionate love for Big Brother, the leader of the Party and Oceania. The Party fears a rebellion against them, as a result they use different methods to eliminate trust between

Loneliness is something everyone experiences. However, nobody should have to go through the degree of loneliness of being unable to confide in one person. Everybody needs a person. At the start of 1984 by George Orwell, Winston is completely alone and cannot open up about his feelings towards Big Brother to anyone. He is unable to conform to his natural human nature due to a government in total control. George Orwell’s 1984 communicates the threat on society of a totalitarian government by using literary devices such as irony, foreshadowing, as well as characterization.

Controlled by a fascist government, the population of Oceania struggles to live freely as they are constantly surrounded by the fear of getting arrested for the worst possible crime, thoughtcrime. In the novel “1984”, by George Orwell, Winston Smith rebelles passively against the idea of living in a complete uniform world under Big Brother’s dreadful surveillance. Thought crime’s impact on the novel’s population is devastating, so much so that it is somewhat hard to picture today’s society in its place. The sad reality is that thoughtcrime does impact the lives of the people in today’s society to some extent as it does in the book. The level of punishment for such a crime is just at a lower scale. Thoughtcrime impacts the novel’s

In the book “1984,” written by George Orwell, there is a character that is known as Big Brother. He is a man who could be known as a Demagogue. The reason for this is due to the fact that he was able to rise to such power where he is capable of changing the past. The way he is now, in the story, shows that he didn’t use rational argument to rise to power, but chose to appeal to the majority group of people through desires and prejudice.

George Orwell’s novel, 1984, focuses on heavily on a fairly small lineup of characters, mainly focusing on the central character and protagonist, Winston Smith whose central conflict stems from his moral discontent with the tyrannical Party. Winston is an ultimately very relatable character, an ordinary man who finds himself fighting for his very existence as an individual against the unrelenting will of the government. Unlike Julia, the only other confirmed rebel in the novel, Winston’s insurrection is based off of ideals and he remains curious about how Oceania works and, more importantly, why it functions the way it does.

In the George Orwell’s novel 1984, much of the society is watched and have no privacy of any kind. Every person in the Party is under surveillance. In effect, these people cannot live freely and independently, but it seems to be an impossible task because of of the Party surveillance, and how they limit thinking and manipulate reality. We can similarly see these concerns and their effects in today 's society and the ways the novel also acts as a warning for the future.

Individuality, though often taken for granted, must exist in a productive society. Of course, to truly remain genuine, one must be guaranteed a certain level of privacy. George Orwell’s 1984 provides examples of how privacy truly impacts one’s personality. A lack of privacy prevents originality and any type of progress, which students got to experience for a week.

One topic repeatedly discussed in the novel 1984, by George Orwell, is technological invasion of privacy. Throughout the novel the characters are constantly searching for an area where they are safe from the “telescreens”. “Telescreens” are similar to our modern “televisions”, the only difference being that with televisions you don’t have to worry about someone watching you from the other side of the screen. However, Orwell was correct in assuming that advanced technology would allow for other people to have access in to our private lives without our knowledge of their presence. With social media, surveillance, and powerful hackers at their disposal, the government, as well as private industry, has a strong grasp on individuals’ private

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody's around to hear it, does it make a sound? This thought experiment is used to understand the nature of reality and physics. It can be rewritten to ask if an event happens and no one is around to observe it, did it happen? The first problem is that if an event happens yet no one observes it then we cannot be certain that that event happens. Reality only dictates that the end result occurred but the process can be vastly different than expected. Orwell's novel 1984 explores the limits of our notions of reality and explains how it can be twisted to make events which have happened not happen. The party controls reality since they “control the mind. Reality is inside the skull”. Reality as we know it is the byproduct of individual signals being sent to the brain and the

We live in a fast-paced world, one that thrives off of individuals being constantly connected to others around the world. Whether it be for an important business meeting, or for connecting with friends on one of the many social networking sites available, the luxury and convenience of such a connection allows for great leaps forwards in our technology. However, as this technology becomes more advanced, so too does the technology that exists to intrude upon our daily lives. It is the possibility of intrusion that makes one ask themselves, how close is our society to becoming one where every action is monitored? How close is the idea of western civilization to becoming a police state, such as in North Korea, or the one in George Orwell’s novel, ‘1984’? North American society is drifting towards becoming a police state at an ever increasing rate. This is shown in how North Americans are slowly losing their rights, the police force acting above the law, and the monitoring of citizens by government agencies.

The novel 1984 written by George Orwell struck readers with alarm and conviction as the author’s claims and pessimistic predictions addressed the future of language’s ability to shape human thought and behavior. Withholding knowledge and confiscating autonomy, Orwell writes, allowed the fictional government to control every aspect of its citizens’ lives. Alternatively, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World anticipated the opposite of Orwell’s claims and wrote of a dystopian future of people who had grown to love their subjugation as their information overload desensitized the public into acquiescing this seemingly friendly, but not any less damaging, worldview. As the world enters a new age of modern technology, many of Huxley’s notions are

In the foreboding literary text 1984 written by George Orwell, a terrifying dystopian society has seized the civilized world and plunged it into a state of paranoia and subjugation. This society controls everything within its dominion, and will stop at nothing to assert its total control and influence over every fundamental of society. Through symbolism, the author powerfully develops the idea that when total power is given to a small few, the abuse of that power may lead to the subjugation and ultimate control of those under its influence, suppressing any form of individuality or conscience. This is achieved through Orwell creating a harrowing depiction of what the future may hold, and how close we are to realizing that future. This idea

The book, 1984 by George Orwell, is about the external and internal conflicts that take place between the two main characters, Winston and Big Brother and how the two government ideas of Democracy and totalitarianism take place within the novel. Orwell wrote the novel around the idea of communism/totalitarianism and how society would be like if it were to take place. In Orwell’s mind democracy and communism created two main characters, Winston and Big Brother. Big Brother represents the idea of the totalitarian party. In comparison to Big Brother, Winston gives and represents the main thought of freedom, in the novel Winston has to worry about the control of the thought police because he knows that the government with kill anyone who

As we are taken on the ride of evolution where everything is advancing if it were technological or the way we think, we need to stop and assess the current world we live in. Literary texts are carriers of civilization and act as lighthouses shedding light to issues that are pertinent to the human condition. 1984 by Orwell is a provocative text that has enabled me to critically evaluate our existence and consider how our world is somewhat governed by a totalitarian government. It has enabled me to see that people fight for liberty and may challenge the ideologies of their government to feel love and liberty.

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
