How Does George Orwell's 1984 And Present Civilization Exist?

George Orwell’s 1984 is more than just a novel, it is a warning to a potential dystopian society of the future. Written in 1949, Orwell envisioned a totalitarian government under the figurehead Big Brother. In this totalitarian society, every thought and action is carefully examined for any sign of rebellion against the ruling party. Emotion has been abolished and love is nonexistent; an entire new language is being drafted to reduce human thought to the bare minimum. In a society such as the one portrayed in 1984, one is hardly human. In George Orwell’s 1984, the party uses fear, oppression, and propaganda to strip the people of their humanity.

I am going to start by examining the genre of the novel. 1984 is one of the most popular novels of George Orwell’s work. When defining the genre, we can state that it is a dystopian, or negative utopian novel, since the writer aims to portray the worst human society imaginable to persuade readers to avoid any path that may lead towards it, while a novel of utopia does the exact opposite.

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

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,

1984 is an eye-opening novel written by George Orwell. Orwell wrote the novel in 1949 to outline how he projected society would be in 1984 if progress continued upon its current track. Orwell published the book as a warning that society must be careful about progress for progress’s sake, or conditions could end up similar to the way society is in his work 1984. The novel is divided into three chapters, or books, each with multiple subunits, and these sections tell the story in chronological order. The book ends with an appendix on the principles of newspeak, the new language of Oceania.

Controlled by a fascist government, the population of Oceania struggles to live freely as they are constantly surrounded by the fear of getting arrested for the worst possible crime, thoughtcrime. In the novel “1984”, by George Orwell, Winston Smith rebelles passively against the idea of living in a complete uniform world under Big Brother’s dreadful surveillance. Thought crime’s impact on the novel’s population is devastating, so much so that it is somewhat hard to picture today’s society in its place. The sad reality is that thoughtcrime does impact the lives of the people in today’s society to some extent as it does in the book. The level of punishment for such a crime is just at a lower scale. Thoughtcrime impacts the novel’s

In the book “1984,” written by George Orwell, there is a character that is known as Big Brother. He is a man who could be known as a Demagogue. The reason for this is due to the fact that he was able to rise to such power where he is capable of changing the past. The way he is now, in the story, shows that he didn’t use rational argument to rise to power, but chose to appeal to the majority group of people through desires and prejudice.

Orwell is ultimately warning us about the hopelessness for the future of humans and how easy it is to become corrupt with power. In 1984, the party has taken away from the people their free will. The book uses propaganda and many lies, such as changing history to the way they want it and making them believe anything they say is true, such a "2+2=5", changing their people into emotionless and thought controlled human beings. Romantic love is eliminated, along with physical pleasure, so that the love for Big Brother only remains.

In the year 1984, it was a great time. There were so many interesting things such as the bright colors in that time period, big hair, iconic toys, and a few iconic movies such as Indiana Jones and The Terminator. However, George Orwell thought that it could be very different from this in his novel 1984. In 1984, he expressed his fears of how society could very well be changed over time. He shows this dark, depressing world that shows a major few groups taking over three sections of the world. All three of them are constantly at war. There is no sense of privacy and becomes really depressing. Orwell shows this depressing world as a warning of how people need to have emotions and have a free world otherwise it is pure enslavement not one person can live without it.

In the the book 1984 by George Orwell it’s a town where the people believe in one person “ big brother” . In this book if you disobey the big brother you will get tortured or some kind of punishment.

Human nature seems like something you cannot control. Most people follow their intuition for guidance. However, in 1984 George Orwell shows a dystopia that reaches to control just that. Basic human emotion is not expressed and it is an expectation to follow everything the party wants and needs. The government in 1984 uses fear to control the people in Oceania to keep them from acting against big brother and to try to eliminate human nature.

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.

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” (Page 4) Over the years many authors have theorized what the future may bring. Two examples of this is “1984” and “Brave new world”. However I feel that 1984 has a more compelling vision of the future because of its descriptions of brotherhood, kid spies, and telescreens. In “1984” Orwell’s ideas were more extravagant and so out there others wouldn’t even believe it until reading the book. George Orwell shows many different theories and concepts all during 1984. Orwell wrote this book in 1949 and doing this he believed that the world was going to fit his standards in the book in 1984 but gladly his version of things did not come true. His objectives were very loud and clear speaking nonsense into a book thousands of people would soon read including me.

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
