Analysis Of Nineteen Eighty Four By George Orwell

George Orwell focuses his belief of the “[disbelief] in the existence of the objective truth because all the facts have to fit in with the words and prophecies of some infallible fuhrer”. He envisions the decay of future society and implements his ideas through his creation of “Nineteen Eighty-Four”. Indications of a psychological fear are examined initially through the progression and change of the human mind, which is built upon the oppression of the Party. Through the construction of a world with no freedom and individuality, the human mind adapts the change of truth and pay utter submission from the Party, to escape the presence of their ultimate weakness. With those who are rebellious of the rules of the Party gradually brings out the ugly nature of humanity. Through the fragility of the human mind, it reinforces Orwell’s idea of a corrupted society, as there no longer remains a variety of human emotions for the next generation to pass onwards. Thus conclusively portraying the defeat of human mind unable to withstand the physical and mental tortures from the Party.

Living in a society with limited freedom of expression is not, in any case, enjoyable. A totalitarian system is a good example of such a society, because although it provides control for the people, it can deny them a great deal of freedom to express themselves. The fictional society in George Orwell’s 1984 also stands as a metaphor for a Totalitarian society. Communication, personal beliefs, and individual loyalty to the government are all controlled by the inner party which governs the people of Oceania in order to keep them from rebelling. Current society in North America is much more democratic. It contrasts with Orwell’s society of 1984 because communication, personal beliefs and the people’s loyalty to the government are all

Maybe you are expecting a happy ending, where love conquers all and the protagonist wins? In the year 1984 no one has a right to individuality, thought or action. 1984 is a well written classic that consists with the interesting ideas about government and philosophy. The novel delineates totalitarianism, the lack of democracy, justice, liberty, and our freedom in a way beyond one’s imagination. Newspeak, the “official” language of Oceania, functions to narrow one’s perspective and mental habits. Newspeak demolishes political and intellectual freedom, newspeak will soon be the only language anyone will understand. Even though 1984 has passed, it’s undeniable the book is captivating and felicitous due to Orwell’s imaginative vision and

George Orwell’s book Nineteen Eighty-Four presents a negative picture, a society that is ruled by totalitarianism. The government that is created in the novel is ruled by Big Brother and that consist of three branches. “The Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education and the fine arts. The Ministry of Peace, which concerned itself with war. The Ministry of Love, which maintained law and order. And the Ministry of Plenty, which is responsible for economic affairs.” (Orwell 6). The main character Winston Smith does not accept the ideology of Big Brother. There are three states in the Novel Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. In the novel Orwell subscribes that Oceania is at war with Eastasia and alliance with

2.) In the novel of Nineteen Eighty-Four Big brother is a superior ruler that is always trying to control the people by putting certain limit and consequences to those who do not listen. Big Brother is always invading the privacy of people and wants them to believe something that it’s not even true. The poor people cannot think for themselves nor have a normal life, in other words their rights are taken away. Winston Smith, the protagonist of Nineteen Eighty-Four falls in love with Julia, but because both are in control of the government or in other words big brother, their love is illegal, disgracefully their government, brain washes them and is able to separate them. Miserably these things still happen in modern society, especially with

George Orwell’s, Nineteen Eighty-Four describes the dystopian society of Oceania which resembles several aspects of Nazi Germany when under the reign of Adolf Hitler. The novel and Nazi Germany have several similar characteristics. Both Oceania and Nazi Germany are ruled by dictators under a totalitarianistic government. These dictators, Adolf Hitler and Big Brother, use many different tactics and techniques to make sure they keep control of the citizens under their rule. The first strategy they both implemented was propaganda. Propaganda plays a huge role in controlling the people of these societies. Another way that these civilizations are similar is the way that they both censored, edited, or eliminated the newspapers, books, and media to

In George Orwell’s book, Nineteen Eighty-Four, a dictatorial group called the Big Brother is said to always be watching you. Not only does this group inspect individuals from posters throughout the city, but also they listen and watch you through private telescreens, which is basically a two-way television. In this type of world it is easier to simply assume that you are always being watched, in fact that 's how many of the characters we encounter throughout this book act. Something should be clicking in your head right about now because this fictional world is actually very comparable to the surveillance systems that are present in our modern-day society. In reality, the majority of lives we are being watched, just as Winston and other Nineteen Eighty-Four characters are. Nowadays, we all live in a world where it is almost comedic to state that you are actually alone when in reality we are constantly being observed, tracked, eavesdropped on, and maybe even investigated just like those who inhabit this fictional Oceania. Truly, the world of George Orwell 's Nineteen Eighty-Four has become an authentic depiction of our own. It is known that surveillance plays a key role in how the Party keeps its power, influence and control in the novel. The citizens of Oceania are frequently being examined on their every action, breath and even their thoughts. The need for this surveillance comes directly from the Party’s desire for a perfect model of society. It would be far fetched to say

Nineteen Eighty-four is a story of complete re-creation of what was believe to happen during the time of nineteen eighty-four. There was suppose to be a a division of the world into three separate powers. George Orwell wrote this story as a warning of what might happen if we become totalitarian. The story is made out to be a fore-warning from Orwell of might happen if we ignore the thought a revolution(“Enduring relevance of George Orwell” 5). George Orwell showed everyone what it would be like to have the government have total control over the people. Nineteen Eighty-Four explains George Orwells thoughts on how the totalitarian government controlled the people, the problems that are caused from lack of privacy, the emotional effects leading from the force of no individualism, and the obstacles produced from the lack of connection from person to person.

My thoughts, perceptions, feelings, and words can reflect on who I am as a person. I cannot imagine not being able to think, say, or do as I wish. The idea of someone else controlling my thoughts and actions is mind-boggling. George Orwell has made a tremendous impact on the way we live our life today. His key ideas and insights have reflected on our life and way of living. He wrote four documentary studies, six novels, and hundreds of essays. Although he passed away on January 21, 1950, his memory and key ideas have left a memorable impact on society and the world we live in today.

“War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength” (Orwell 4). This is the slogan the Party uses in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four to represent the main philosophy the society of Oceania is expected to believe. In the early 1900’s, many totalitarian societies sprouted in Eastern Europe. These societies paved the way for many works of satire in Western literature. The protagonist, Winston Smith, is followed throughout the novel, revealing his many life trials which cause him to begin to question the totalitarian society in which he has been raised to believe. Furthermore, Winston falls in love and pays the price in the “terroristic world of tomorrow” (“Where the Rainbow Ends”).Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four attacks the totalitarianism of the East while warning the West of its consequences.

While George Orwell’s book is nearly 70 years old, the novel is still relevant today in the discussion of Big Brother, in relation to fake news, and politics. Many conspiracy theories have been developed over time as technology has advanced, and the concern of how far the government can reach into our civil liberties with the Patriot Act seem to be an underlying theme in the novel 1984. The imbalance of social classes is also frightening similar to 1984 and society today.

As mentioned in the introduction this chapter will deals with the Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and its comparative study between present societies. Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) is constantly referred to in popular culture, the Big Brother a constant reference in popular culture, after some sixty seven years of its first publication when we actually reflect looking at it where we are today the concept of 1984 doesn’t actually seems that shocking. Many components of Nineteen Eighty-Four, are more or less happening somewhere today in the world. A lot of stuff in this dystopia which i.e. a hypothetical fear for many years since the book is written most of it is real today.

“Fear is created not by the world around us, but in the mind, by what we think is going to happen”(Elizabeth Gawain). In Nineteen Eighty Four, George Orwell locates his novel in a politically dystopian society. A dystopia is a “bad place”, being translated from the Greek words dis topos. This term was created to be seen as the opposite of a Utopia after the novel Utopia was written by Thomas More. Dystopian novels are written to daunt the reader of how future societies will turn out. The term has become more common in today 's society and is translated into, a dark or unpleasant future.

The novel 1984 is a futuristic totalitarian society where everyone is kept under close surveillance and is forced to follow all rules and laws of the state. The novel 1984 was written by George Orwell and published in 1950. The main characters were Big Brother, Winston Smith, Julia, O’Brien, Syme and Emmanuel Goldstein. Winston Smith is a low man on the totem pole when it came to the ruling Party in London, Oceania. His every move is watched by the Party through devices called telescreens. Posted everywhere around the city is the face of their leader, “Big Brother” informing them that he is always watching. He works in the “Ministry of Truth” which is ironic seeing that they alter history to fit the liking of the Party. As this book continues Winston challenged the laws and skirts around the fact that he is always being watched. His shocking and rebellious act is “falling in love.” Throughout this novel George Orwell utilizes symbolism to further enhance the totalitarian features of the society. In many ways these symbols represent the things that this society hasn’t experienced and doesn’t understand.

The aim of my essay is to analyze George Orwell’s novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” considering the psychoanalytical approach and attempting to find an answer to narrative mysteries. In the effort to identify hidden intentions and anxieties of the author expressed in the novel through different characters I am going to apply certain Freudian methods such as the interpretation of dreams or the analysis of symbols and discuss Freud’s ideas about the connection between civilization and the psyche.
