Analysis Of The Book 1984 By George Orwell

1984 and Divergent have many similarities which include determining their faction/parties, drug usage, and uniforms, which tell the differences between each differing level member. There are also differences in each of these books, too.

1984 by George Orwell is a novel that takes place in a dystopian society from which the main character, Winston Smith, attempts to break free from. There are many conflicts in 1984 that influence the outcome of the novel. Winston is a courageous and intelligent character that has the initiative to do his part to change the ways of Oceana’s society, with the government controlling the people and exhibiting dominance over all aspects of their lives. To challenge the ways of the Party, Winston completes various acts that instill a sense of individuality and self-awareness in himself. The main conflicts of this novel consist of Winston’s internal conflict with democracy and totalitarianism, and when Winston and his love interest, Julia, are caught rebelling. The major effects of the conflicts in this novel show the helplessness of citizens living with a totalitarian government through Winston’s evident failure to reach his goal of freedom for all.

In the book 1984 by George Orwell, the main character Winston Smith is similar to Edna Pontellier in the book The Awakening in the way they both possess “that outward existence which conforms, and the inward life that questions.” Winston, in 1984, outwardly conforms to the government, but secretly questions life on the inside and struggles with his differences throughout the story.

In the Hunger games the society is divided into 12 different districts, as to Divergent their society is divided into 5 factions. In both stories they are not suppose to interact with others outside of their districts or factions, and the government is in control. Another similarity that they

In a civilization where higher powers exist to maintain the balance of the human race and justice, the vision of a futuristic society turns into the nightmare and is created solely by George Orwell. “1984” takes place as a dystopian society where the main protagonist, Winston Smith, struggles in the community only to sustain and question the advancement of the Party and its fellow members. Winston Smith is portrayed as a prime example of the dystopian protagonist due to his questioning of the social and political stand points of the Party and his aid in justifying to the reader the negative aspects of the society

In this fictional world, the Divergent book and the movie are very similar, yet different in some aspects. Divergent takes place in a society that is split into five factions, all with different values. The five factions are the Erudite, who value intelligence, the Abnegation, who value selflessness, the Dauntless, who value bravery, the Amity, who value peace, and the Candor, who value honesty. At the age of sixteen, you will be forced to decide the rest of your life at the Choosing Ceremony. There, you may stay with the faction you were born into, or transfer. The main character, Beatrice, or Tris, was a faction transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless, and was looked down upon by her father and old faction for doing so. The book and movie share

In the novel Divergent, Veronica Roth tells the story of the future of Chicago. Chicago is divided into five factions. Each faction is devoted to represent their people. Candors are the honest, Abnegation is the selfless, Dauntless are the brave, Amity are the peaceful and Erudite are the intelligent. On a selected day all sixteen year olds must select the faction that they will be for the rest of their lives. The main character Beatrice has to choose whether she will stay with her family who are Abnegation or be herself. The choice that she makes is surprising to everyone and herself.

Divergent is a science fiction action film, directed by Neil Burger. The film narratives follow the protagonist Beatrice Prior as she was born after the war when there was only one alive city on the earth, which is Chicago. The leaders of the city have divided the people into five factions, Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. However, the remaining population is the Factionless, who has no status in the society. Beatrice was trying to find out which group does she belong to. Basically, she was trying to find her actual identity, despite the fact that she came from an abnegation family.

“One choice can transform you”, a quote from Divergent, holds true to both The Hunger Games and Divergent. Throughout each series, there are many differences such as how the characters decide to take on each task handed to them, how they interact with other characters, and finally how they interact with the society. Though the two books may have similarities, they also have differences such as how the societies are divided, how love interests play a role, and finally how the main characters act in a situation. Even though both series have societies that are divided, the societies are divided into different ways. In Divergent, the society is divided into factions.

In the novel Divergent, people over sixteen have to choose a faction that they believe where they belong. There five different Choice they face and each one of them will lead them to a different future: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Some people are struggling about finding right faction while others are struggling to leave their family. Same as Beatrice, she was struggling between choosing Abnegation or Dauntless. However she had to make a choice, to stay with their family or to follow her heart. “ I can’t contain, I shift my hand forward, and my blood sizzles on the coals. I am selfish. I am brave”(47). Beatrice chose Dauntless, a faction without her family and friend. It’s a sign that she started to

Totalitarianism is the biggest evil of all that leads to the dehumanization which has been addressed through 3 parts: the loss of privacy, the loss of individualism, the loss of history. Under the rule of this hierarchy Big Brother, only very few people within the whole population called “inner party members” have the core of leadership of the country also known as absolute power. Winston is a member of the outer party. His job is to do the paperwork for the Party mechanically and emotionlessly. The rest of the population is the proles which is accounted

I think a theme of Divergent is freedom of choice. But factions play the biggest role in their world. The author is suggesting that the world shouldn't be separated based on personality. When Marcus quotes “It is not political ideology, religion, race or nationalism that is to blame for a warring world. Rather, it was the fault of human personality- of humankind’s inclination towards evil. Our ancestors sought to eradicate those qualities, thus creating factions.” (pg.42)

However upon taking a closer look, the books show disparities in the settings, governing powers, and the heroines’ personalities and struggles. In Divergent, the setting is mainly within the walls of a futuristic Chicago in which the society is divided into five different factions. The factions stem from a singular personality trait such as selflessness, intelligence, bravery, peacefulness, and honesty. The virtues directly correspond to Abnegation, Erudite, Dauntless, Amity and Candor. At the age of sixteen, the citizens have the freedom of choice as to which faction they want

Divergent depicted a teenage girl's experiences in a society where social norms and identity was essential to survival. Also, people unorthodox to their pledged social class were executed. Beatrice Prior, the female protagonist was classified as a divergent, dictating her fate as a Dauntless faction member. Divergents were immune to systematic approaches to propagandize a faction's values. Consequently, divergent faction members were dreaded for an insurgence against their government. Meanwhile, Beatrice was uncertain of the affiliation in which she belonged to. Roth wrote "I feel like someone breathed new air into my lungs. I am not Abnegation. I am not Dauntless. I am Divergent." -Beatrice. Since divergent people were adept in controlling

Character is defined as brief outline of a personage who typifies certain qualities. The person is described, not as an individualized personality, but as a vice or virtue or type, such as a superstitious fellow, a county bumpkin, a happy milkmaid, etc. Similar treatments of institutions and inanimate objects, such as “the character of a coffee house,” also employed the term, and in the late seventeenth century, by a natural extension of the tradition, character was applied to longer compositions, some historical (Holman). 1984 is a novel written by George Orwell set in London, Oceania, in 1984.
