Love And Love In 1984 By George Orwell

The author of the novel 1984, George Orwell, is a political critic. Therefore, he used very precise descriptions of situations and words to provide the reader a clear understanding of the entity he is criticizing. When Winston describes the destruction of past records to create new ones to Julia, he says: “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” (pg. 162). Here, instead of only saying “Every record has been

George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is the ultimate negative utopia. Written in 1949 as an apocalyptic vision of the future, it shows the cruelty and pure horror of living in an utterly totalitarian world where all traces of individualism are being abolished. This novel was composed to denounce Hitler?s Germany and Stalin?s Russia and to create a warning to the rest of the world. It takes the reader through a year in the life of Winston Smith as he transforms from a rebel to a fanatic of totalitarianism.

"I love you" (108) was the beginning of the conflict between Julia and Winston. Love prevailed them to go against Big Brother and later to themselves. Love has caused more problems than having the hate that the government created for the good of society. “ He had suddenly understood that in the whole world there was just one person to whom he could transfer his punishment-one body that he could thrust between himself and the rats. And he was shouting frantically, over and over: “ Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me!...”(286) Towards the end of everything having love doesn't help someone as

Oceania is a dystopian nation where the totalitarian government, the Party, is able to restrict every aspect of the people’s lives including friendships, loyalty, and love.

One day when I was eleven years old, I told my mom that I believe I should own a phone. I would tell her every day, “please get me a phone” and then listed a bunch of reasons on why I should own one. My mom would disagree with me and say, “no, it’s too expensive” or “no, your not responsible enough.” Despite this, I continued to try and convince her, it took several months of convincing and pleading, and then finally, on Christmas morning, I ripped open my present and there was the iPhone 6s lying in my hands. Now I was able to socialize and connect with friends and family. In the dystopian novel, 1984 by George Orwell, Winston Smith lives under the control of Oceania’s government called the Party. The citizens of Oceania are dehumanized

In George Orwell’s novel 1984, the nature of love and friendship in the nation of Oceania that Orwell writes about, the Party tries desperately to erase love for anything but Big Brother from the lives of its members. (Reese) 1984 displays that the party’s unlimited and absolute control of the people. For an example the telescreens are used to surveillance the people in their homes. The party has eyes in many places too. For instance the love of Winston and Julia somehow compromised by Mr. Charrington when he disclosed the relationship to the Party about them. Another example of the love in Oceania is the marriage of Winston and Katharine ended horrendously. (Reese) Winston thinks deeply about the condition of the world. (Notes) He said he wanted to throw her off of a cliff.

It was Friday the 13th and I was walking down the street. Unlike everyone else, Friday the 13th was usually a lucky day for me, so I thought nothing bad would happen to me on this day. But then I tripped and fell into a muddy puddle on the side of the road. A theme of 1984 by George Orwell is Don't expect to never get hurt in the end as this story portrays, I believe that I could be careless and not get hurt in the end but I did get hurt in the end just a Winson did. 1984 by George Orwell is about a man named Winston Smith, who lives in a time where he is not allowed to love or write, which if he does he will be punished by death.

George Orwell presents us with an interesting portrayal of love in his novel 1984. In the nation of Oceania, the government tries to eradicate love in order to isolate deviation to solely Big Brother. In many ways, it is successful in doing so. The absence of love caused Winston 's marriage with his wife Katharine to be indifferent, cold, and to end in separation. Even occasional affairs that seem to sneak by the Party 's watchful eyes, like Winston and Julia 's, are eventually stopped and the two are forced to stop loving each other. Perhaps, the strongest love that remains in Oceania is the love of Big Brother. This love is displayed when Winston is tortured by O 'Brien so that

Love is both the foundation and the weakness of a totalitarian regime. At the heart of any totalitarian society, love between two individuals is eliminated because only a relationship between the person and the party and a love for its leader can exist. The totalitarian society depicted throughout the Orwell’s novel 1984 has created a concept of an Orwellian society. Joseph Stalin’s Soviet regime in Russia can be described as Orwellian. The imaginary world of Oceania draws many parallels to the modern day totalitarian regime established by Stalin. For example, in the novel it was the desire of the Party to eliminate love and sex, in order to channel this pent-up passion towards the love of Big Brother. Similarly, Stalin used propaganda

For all of history there has existed the struggle between the strong and the weak. The establishment of government gives the power to a particular group to decide the amount of freedom the majority is allowed, however, though not ideal it provides necessary order. The benefits of security that limitations on freedom provides must be balanced with the individual's pursuit of happiness for citizens to be content. To prevent the governed majority from destabilizing the rulers and seeking power, the government will oppress political and personal freedom of thought. In result, the majority will live under the illusion of contentment and not wish to rebell; those enlightened to the idea that the government should be ruled by the governed, would associate happiness only with ignorance and consequently seek freedom.

The book 1984 depicts a society unimaginable to most; however, a further look shows us that we actually do live in an Orwellian society. Orwell describes a country called Oceania made of multiple continents which is ruled by the dictatorial “Big Brother” who uses different systems like the “thought police” and “telescreens” in order to have full control over the country. Our democratic government, through organizations such as the NSA and NGI, can look through our most private conversations and moments using spyware. Due to the secrecy of the government, citizens in 1984, as well as those in our society, fear the government.

Love is the foundation and the weakness of a totalitarian regime. For a stable totalitarian society, love between two individuals is eliminated because only a relationship between the person and the party and a love for its leader can exist. The totalitarian society depicted throughout the Orwell’s novel 1984 has created a concept of an Orwellian society. Stalin’s Soviet state can be considered Orwellian because it draws close parallels to the imaginary world of Oceania in 1984. During the twentieth century, Soviet Russia lived under Stalin’s brutal and oppressive governments, which was necessary for Stalin to retain power. In both cases, brutality and oppression led to an absence of relationships and love. This love was directed towards

Two Minutes of Hate. One instance is “Winston’s diaphragm was constricted. He could never see the face of Goldstein without a painful mixture of emotion” (Orwell 12.) Winston explains how he was taught to loathe Goldstein. Winston grew up before the Party was in power, but the Party has managed to persuade Winston to instinctually fear and hate Goldstein. Additionally, Orwell continues to display the Party’s power through Winston by describing Goldstein’s speech as “so exaggerated and perverse that a child should have been able to see through it, and yet just plausible enough to fill one with an alarmed feeling that other people, less level-headed than oneself, might be taken by it” (Orwell 12.) Winston initially describes how the Party has misled him to believe to hate Goldstein. Later, Winston continues to describe how everyone else sees Goldstein. Some people use him to express
