George Orwell 's Nineteen Eighty Four

Orwell is characterized through the eyes of Winston when he realises her as ‘beautiful’. It shows his distaste for the Promiscuousness of Julia and strengthens the misogynistic scrutiny of the female sex.

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.

The world that Orwell presents in Nineteen Eighty-four has often been called a nightmare vision of the future. Writing sixteen years into that future, we can see that not all of Orwell’s predictions have been fulfilled in their entirety! Yet,

In Part Two, the novel begins to pick up with Julia, a love interest to Winston, who finally gives Winston the love and comfort he needed, giving power to his rebellious side. An interesting characteristic of this surge of rebellion is the equilibrium it reaches in the beginning of Julia’s and Winston’s relationship. He found it easier to continue his facade, since he was no longer feeling lonely. However the difference between Julia and Winston is their two distinct sides. Julia also has a conforming side, but her rebellious side is not to rebel against injustice like Winston, but rather is rebellious for the pure spirit of the thrill of rebellion. She’s similar to a teenage girl disobeying her parents warning for the thrill of it, which is shown when Orwell states, “ 'Well, I wouldn 't! ' said Julia. 'I 'm quite ready to take risks, but only for something worth while, not for bits of old newspaper. What could you have done with it even if you had kept it? ' 'Not much, perhaps. But it was evidence. It might have planted a few doubts here

After meeting Julia, he decides to openly become a rebel, and without hesitation he falls in love with Julia. This is an act of rebellion by Winston and Julia, because the government forbids love and sexual relations in any relationship. The two rebels have a relationship that they feel is secret, but in reality the government knows all. Julia and Winston would have never acted upon their actions if they were not influenced by writing ideas down, but the couple acted upon their thoughts which soon got them into deeper trouble than they could ever imagine. The torture and experiences that Winston and Julia went through after they were captured by the government shows just how powerful authority is. The end result of Winston betraying Julia is a product of how the government controlled and manipulated Winston’s mind to do unthinkable and hurtful actions. Conforming to a

Orwell develops Winston and Julia’s love story in Book Two, which finally excites and engages the reader. The audience wants something other than description of Winston and his everyday life. Orwell threw Julia into the mix so the reader will continue to read on. Julia provides a contrast to Winston, which becomes more apparent towards the end of

Winston and Julia are two of the main characters in the novel 1984 set in Oceania Airstrip one , who are against the party and rebellious against big brother. Both Julia and Winston are rebelling against Big brother, but for different reasons. In the

The Party is headed by “that beetlelike type proliferated in the Ministries: little dumpy men, growing stout very early in life...the type that seemed to flourish best under the dominion of the Party”, and there is no mention of women heading the Ministries (Orwell 53). Even the Pornosec, consisting of only women who created the material, was run by a man. When O'Brien spoke to Julia and Winston he did not address her but talked to her indirectly through Winson, which suggests that women play an inferior role in their society. Julia hadn't even received the invitation to meet with O'Brien, only Winson had which insinuates that the Party views men as the true threat to the Party and not women. When asked if they would be willing to separate from each other, Julia is first to yell out no. Her emotional response makes it seem like she would remain steadfast in loving Winston, making her seem like a strong-willed character compared to Winston. However, that is not the case, as O'Brien reveals that Julia was a “textbook case..all her rebelliousness, her deceit, her folly, her dirty mindedness, everything has been burned out of her. It was a perfect conversion” which furthers the Party's belief that women are weak and Winston's belief that women are the Party's greatest adherents and easily manipulated (Orwell

In the book 1984, by George orwell, the passage in the second part on chapter nine argues that war and social differences will helps control the mind of the people in order for the Party to survive. By the sense of war, it can create a fake sense of patriotism that makes the people of Oceania to have the idea of hating the other nations and not the Party. With the major differences in social standing, it makes the proles, or the poor working class, to become exhausted and unable to think of a revolt. These ideas can be best expressed through the parallelism of war, the repetition the inner party’s wealth, and the syntax.

In the novel 1984 written by George Orwell, the main character Winston, and his lover Julia possess many similar aspects, but at the same time share totally different views. As we advance through the novel, we can see their audacious acts against the Party together and the unexpected heartbreaking split at the end. The multiple characteristics of these two characters range from their courageous acts against the Party and their need for freedom, to the reasons behind their actions and their hopes for the future. Although Winston and Julia are similar in some areas, they are very different in others. To begin with, Winston and Julia both daringly perform taboo acts against the Party’s standards.

In 1984 the world was transformed into an imaginable place which everything was bad and unpresentable. The three most powerful “states” were Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, who fight in various configurations for power in a war which governments, in common sense spend resources to maintain the populations morale and nationalism.

Julia epitomizes the meaning of a perfect young lady in the Party’s eyes. In reality, she was anything but. At the age of 16, she “had her first love-affair… with a Party member of sixty who later committed suicide to avoid arrest” (Orwell 131). This shows how desperately Julia wishes to find a physical love in a society where leaders prohibit such a commitment, unless done by partners who are not aroused by one another and in the interest of the Party. When Winston and Julia begin their affair, the lust is uncontrollable. They often comment on how the Party will never make them break. As they continue, their bond grows stronger. In one scene, Julia wrapped herself around Winston, her body heat comforting (Orwell 144). The close contact of Winston and Julia’s bodies is reminiscent of true lovers. In reality, this was a weak relationship based in rebellion. This is clearly shown in the last scene of Winston and Julia’s cold meeting. In Victory Square, Julia and Winston meet after being locked away and taken to the brink of death by Inner Party members. Julia has now grown to resent Winston as they admit to betraying one another and giving their names to the Party as traitors (Orwell 292). This is due to the fact that the two were heavily tortured when they were incarcerated. From starvation to manipulation by fear, Winston was pushed past the realm of reality into

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

Nineteen Eighty-Four opens in Airstrip One, a region in Oceania, one of the world’s major super-powers. The novel follows Winston Smith, a member of the middle class Outer Party, and his battle against Oceania’s totalitarian government. Orwell manipulates the standard story arch of an archetypal hero to maintian that the loss of individual thought leads to a loss of one’s humanity.
