Do We Make Things More Simple In The Book 1984 By George Orwell

In George Orwell's "1984" society is manipulated and guided by an organization called the Party and an anonymous figure named Big Brother, who is used as God. One of the main aspects the Party controls is truth or tries to control is truths in the society and the truth in the minds of the individual themselves. The Party creates what they want to be true to make the individuals ignorant so they can manipulate them easier. This twist of the truth by the Party makes it seem like truth doesn't actually exist, but for Winston it does exist or it once did. Truth does exist if the individual is rebellious to the extent to where it will not get them vaporized and Winston is one of those rebels. He and others are able to experience

“Newspeak was designed to. . .diminish the range of thought. . .by cutting the choice of words down to a minimum” explains George Orwell, the author of a dystopian fiction novel, 1984 (Orwell 300). Orwell designs a society in which a totalitarian government rules, depriving people of their thoughts. The story gives us a look into the life of the main character, Winston, who seems to face issues with reality control. Today, we will delve into the depths of this novel and explore Orwell’s views on the nature of language. In simple terms, Orwell suggests that language, if used in a certain way, has the ability to influence people and compel them to alter their thoughts. With this statement and supporting evidence, it can be concluded that the effective use of language can give individuals power to modify or reshape opinions that will allow for change in society.

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

Winston makes it known that Big Brother is freighting him. He wouldn’t think it’s imaginably possible to brainwash the people of his country and erase what had happened.

When George Orwell wrote his novel, 1984, Hitler and Mussolini had recently been defeated in World War II, the nuclear arms race was warming up and the Soviet Union was a threat to the world. Although these are not problems in today's society, 1984 is still very relevant in current time, "The twentieth century will soon be over, but political terror still survives and this is why Nineteen Eighty-four remains valid today” (Ricks 5). In the novel 1984 the main character Winston is faced with challenges when he meets a woman named Julia. Julia makes him question his loyalty to the government. They are living under a totalitarian government that sees everything you do, hears everything you say, and knows everything you think. George Orwell’s novel 1984 is still relevant in today’s society.

Chapter 1 begins when Winston is face to face the spy he met Hate week in the theatre. When the girls passes by Winston she falls to the floors. Winston helped her get up but Winston did not know but the girl slid into smith pocket. One of the most interesting lines from chapter 1 is according to the text “ I love you” (Orwell 136). This line stood out to me because the girl that Winston hated Later on, the girls slid a note that said I love you. That someone from the party is rebellion against the party to show love to some. Based on this chapter, a level 1 question I would ask is: What does the girl hand to Winston in his pocket?Based on this chapter, a level 2 question I would ask is Why the girl would fall in love with Winston instead she could have choose someone?Based on this chapter, a level 3 question I would ask is how would it feel to love someone but you can't love them because something is holding you back from

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

With the power of altering the past, it gives the people no say and no knowledge of the history that came before them. Many are unaware the “Knowledge exists,” (34) of their past. They are not given a choice of choosing the right of deciding whether or not to alter the past. Their voice is lost. Only a handful of people know the truth and besides the government, Winston, is one of them.

In George Orwell's 1984 language is used to manipulate thought and action. Language is an important part of societies in that it aids in the way people think. Limitation and restriction of language hinders now people think. The more words someone knows, the better they can articulate how they feel. In 1984, The Party uses "newspeak" and thoughtcrime as a way to control the citizens of the community.

George Orwell, in his book 1984, paints a picture of a grim dystopian world in which each person’s every move is monitored and manipulated by a totalitarian government called the Party. Orwell’s purpose is to warn readers that if democracy is allowed to decay into totalitarianism, the oppressive government would eventually rid the human race of its most prized possessions: thought, emotion, and knowledge. Orwell effectively proves his purpose by alluding to the historical background, appealing to the readers’ emotions, and using repetition and comparisons. In order for 1984 to explain how an oppressive government could ruin humanity, it is important to know the historical background behind the book and the author himself.

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

This book starts in London on April fourth, 1984. The book is written in partly third person, and partly in first person. The book is divided into three distinct parts. The first part is showing you the main character, Winston Smith and his differences and frustration with the world he works and lives in. The country or the “Super state” he lives in called Oceania is run under a government called INGSOC (English Socialism). The leaders of the nation are called "The Party." The Party is divided into two sections, The Inner Party, and The Outer Party. The "Rich" and the "middle-class." There is a third group of people called "The Proles," or "The Proletariat" who are the lower class or the poorer class. The main leader of this government is called “Big Brother” and there also a very famous conspiracy theory about a traitor of the state by a person called “Emmanuel Goldstein” who was part of the inner party and then betrayed the state. The book is about the life of Smith with his frustration towards the government and the society he lives and the journey he embarks on from hating the party to finding comfort in another party worker and to eventually falling in love with big brother. The book is divided into three parts with the first part explaining the dynamics and structure of the new world. The second part focuses on how Smith finds solace by committing “though crime” as his act against the party and finally,

Big Brother knows this, which is why it tries to toil order to control everything it can. Big Brother even controls the propaganda put up for the war, in which one slogan said, "'Who controls the past', ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past” (37). Big Brother creates itself to be a God like figure, interminable and the most important aspect of citizens’ lives. They control their people down to their intense thoughts and feelings, as said by Winston, "The terrible thing that the Party had done was to persuade you that mere impulses, mere feelings, were of no account, while at the same time robbing you of all power over the material world” (165). Big Brother creates rules and expectations to prevent people from feeling that Big Brother is absurd. They create laws such as the Anti Sex law, “What was more important was that sexual privation induced hysteria, which was desirable because it could be transformed into war fever and leader worship” (134). Big Brother’s strive for totalitarian power means that it is all Big Brother can focus on. They cannot worry about little things such as starving their entire population or creating a false image, all they can focus on is world domination. Big Brother’s demand for power makes it much more of a lesser value than the

George Orwell, the writer of many highly regarded literary works, is extremely interested in the power of language, mainly how it is abused. By analyzing two of his works, 1984 and Politics and The English Language, it is clear that Orwell is using his writing to bring awareness to the dangers of the manipulation, misuse, and decline of language. In 1984 he demonstrates how language can be used to control thought and manipulate the past. This is proven throughout the novel by examining the language of Newspeak and how it is key to controlling the totalitarian state, and how using language to alter and manipulate history can shape reality. In his essay Politics and the English Language Orwell

Hopelessness, deep and gaping ever lasting hopelessness. If the course of humanity fails to change, to this everyone will succumb. That is the message that George Orwell has left for the future, and it would be in humanity's best interest to heed. Winston Smith of 1984 lived in a world that had been consumed by the everlasting abyss of injustice. Eventually this world became too much for our hopeful protagonist and thus, like the future that is bound to a horrific fate, he succumbed. “It was like swimming against a current that swept you backwards however hard you struggled, and then suddenly deciding to turn round and go with the current instead of opposing it” (Orwell 248). No one in this world is any different than Winston, they will follow his path like all of those before them, following the five stages of Kübler-Ross. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance make up the cycle that every feeble life will follow and that Winston grew to know all too well.
