Intimacy and loyalty are like best friends, because you can be loyalty to something without any type of intimacy involve. It also can be toxic, causing a person to become badly affected, where they aren’t themselves nomore. Similar to losing your self-respect, because you give all your attention and time towards them instead of yourself. Despite the analysis of intimacy and loyalty within 1984 and Lord of the Flies, it becomes clear that intimacy and loyalty affects privacy by not allowing ones to think for themselves, and limit of freedom. 1984 was very strict, where you weren’t allowed to be yourself or even have a personality. Big Brother created fear in the citizens which force them to become loyalty to him, thinking it would keep …show more content…
In the same way “ Lord of the Flies,” had the concepts but different settings and time frame. The book is very interesting, but it get very shaky when the young boys start to separate in two groups, causing several conflicts. “Ralph wept the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and he fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.” Piggy is a loyal friend, because he stand up for him when Jack despites Ralph leadership, and encourage all the others to stay true to their leaders. Due to Jack power over the others and the fear he put in them, Sam and Eric didn’t buy into it, because they knew the danger Jack have behind him. Ralph didn’t want war, but he wasn’t going to settle to be rule by a person who is cruel. Major of the boys who were with Ralph betrayed him, because Jack able to frighten them. Jack capacity to create loyalty proves stronger than Ralph’s, even leading them to become murderers. Jack simply uses the own boys desires in order to create the loyalty towards himself and to build his tribe.
1984 and Lord of the flies, affect privacy by brainwashing a person to have loyalty/intimacy for the party/leader in order to gain power. Controlling is a definition for both the novels, because they wouldn’t let a person be able to officially be themselves. Unable to think straight or better “not having their own thoughts”, both the novels expresses leverage
In Lord of the Flies two boys that have leadership qualities are left on island with many other boys. Ralph is a good and thoughtful leader, while Jack is ruthless and goes into savagery when is not accompanied by an adult.

1984 is the story of a dystopian future with a totalitarian government with the leader, ‘Big Brother,’ watching over the people and controlling everyone's lives; even what they’re allowed to think. 1984’s biggest theme and message is a warning against totalitarianism and the dangers of the government gaining too much power. This premise of ‘too much power’ is best described in this quote: “People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of
Big Brother himself intimidates the population knowing that they are being watched all the time, every move you make every action you make, every thought you come up of. A big stamp of evidence of totalitarianism present in 1984 would be the propaganda posters that are put all around the city walls by the Party in charge. ‘BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU’ makes the population paranoid on every action you do. When trying to evaluate the purpose of the novel, it feels very realistic to what’s happening now and what had happened in the past, and trying to convince the population to run for power with positive goals, which allows me to bring up my next point. Psychological manipulation, in the novel, we see this when the message being spoken by the government on platforms such as TV’s or radio for long periods of time every day. These type of actions make the population feel like androids forced to listen about what the Party believes is the right path, and how to guide you to live your life on a daily basis really enforces the brain and make them think as if they were the ones running the Party, which is what the Party want and are achieving so, before Winston decided to actually think for himself about what’s going on. And chose not to obey what the Party want to enforce to you will result in severe punishments, and that’s what it was like in World War
How does Big Brother control everybody? They control the history, the language, and intimidate people into silence. When the party in 1984 controls history and facts, it leads to double think. Doublethink is when you hold two contradicting thoughts in your head at once. The inner party people are
Specifically, they take care of people against the party, "More commonly, people who had incurred the displeasure of the Party simply disappeared and were never heard of again" (Orwell 25). Anyone that has any dislike for the government and the government finds out, the government makes sure that that person will not get in the way of their plans.Moreover, they scare the people into submission, "It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children" (Orwell 13). The government has the children as spies so people can not think freely for themselves since they are always in a constant threat of being caught. Clearly, the people are put into submission by fear of being arrested for thinking or saying anything bad about the government.
The novel 1984 by George Orwell is an eye opening novel which showed how Big Brother had full control over his citizens. He created a sense of fear into the minds of the manipulated. Protagonist Winston Smith went through a series of challenges for trying to go against Big Brother due to the fact that they used physical force and psychologically manipulated their citizens to gain authority against their citizens.
1984 is so similar to todays world that people would say George Orwell predicted the future. The comparison between Big Brother and today’s government are similar in the sense that they both strictly rule society. Like Big Brother, the government today is very harsh on crimes committed and have punishments if done so. They are rules to follow and obeying them is not an option.
The government of 1984 is 100% totalitarianistic. The psychological deterioration of its citizens was insane. The living conditions were horrid and the simple necessities provided by the government were disgusting and not sufficing in the least. There was someone watching you at each second except in RARE occasions. Relationships were not allowed, and love was basically non existent nor was it permitted.
The Lord Of The Flies is a novel about english boys who get stranded on an island in a plane crash. The boys have to come up with a set of rules to follow, a plan to get off the island, and a leader to help them survive and maintain order. The boys have to decide between Jack and Ralph for a suitable leader. They both have the qualities of a leader but they have different ideas on how to lead. Although Ralph and Jack are very much alike they are also very different.
Ralph, one of the main characters, was initially the leader, but a boy named Jack came along, and took over the group of boys and the madness began. When Jack took over, Ralph was pushed over to Piggy’s side, Piggy is a slightly overweight boy, and is often teased by the surrounding boys, including Ralph. “Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.” (Golding 202). The quote explains how the island and the people surrounding him stole his innocence and savageness lies within everyone’s hearts. Similarly, Ralph resembles the Jews being killed by Hitler (Jack) and the German Nazis (Jack’s followers) for their beliefs. The overall theme of his novel is all humans naturally have a little bit of evil and savagery inside of them. All of the boys stranded on the island are initially innocent and civilized, but as the leaders changed along with the rules, the evil and savageness buried in their hearts shone through. Both Jack and Ralph have very different views of leadership. Ralph is more interested in making the boys build shelters and fires and do useful stuff to help keep them alive. Whereas on the other hand, Jack is primarily interested in hunting. Jack’s camp is parallel to the practice of the internment camps of World War Two. Ralph realizes that Jack had stole the fire so he

The reader begins to understand Jack and Ralph by seeing how they interact with the boys who survived the crash, as well as the situation around them. Their characters are really exposed in how each handles fear, power, and the things which they choose to prioritize.
1984 is complex in the way it was written, the society has a sort or language it seems called doublethink. Doublethink is a backwards thing it makes things that are usually said the opposite of what they are usually, in example in
”Nobody has ever seen Big Brother. He is a face on the hoardings, a voice on the telescreen. We may be reasonably sure that he will never die, and there is already considerable uncertainty as to when he was born.” The plot of 1984 is created around the myth of Big Brother. He watches you and everything you do, and those who think or act in a way that is not wanted by the leading
