George Orwell’s novel 1984, is about a dystopian society in which citizens don’t have any privacy and they are under constant surveillance by the Party. The setting of the novel describes the suppress of individuality and freedom in the society. However, Orwell’s definition of freedom is that people need to be given what they need and know the real truth behind the past and the Party. In this case, individuality has an important role in obtaining freedom. Without the right of expressing one’s individuality, freedom is also going to be taken away. Winston Smith, the protagonist of the story questions the society in which he lives in, and knows that there’s something wrong about it. There are many risks taken by Winston in order to achieve his rights that may be punishable to death. 1984 is undoubtedly the quest of individual freedom because of Winston’s questionings of the society, secret love affair with Julia and his resistance against the Party.
