The Heroine In Doctor Johnson's Classroom

In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, there is a society in which the “government” has complete control. Big Brother’s sole purpose is to hold power and constantly be watching its party members. “Nothing was illegal since there were no longer any laws” (Orwell 6). This gives us insight to their party and how they enforce their ideals. It is how they enforce their ideals that will cause their own downfall. There might not have been any written laws but the citizens of Oceania were aware that their every move was being watched. Every aspect of their life was under the thumb of Big Brother. The power they possess is built on lies they created in order to gain and maintain their dominance. If there was a society in history to compare Big Brother

    The literary technique of characterization is often used to create and delineate a human character in a work of literature. When forming a character, writers can use many different methods of characterization. However, there is one method of characterization that speaks volumes about the character and requires no more than a single word - the character's personal name. In many cases, a personal name describes the character by associating him with a certain type of people or with a well known historical figure. Therefore, since the reader learns the character's name first, a personal name is a primary method of characterization; it

this entity is known as Big Brother. Big brother is the government's mascot, the person everyone

A name can tell a lot about a person. Certain names have stereotypical characteristics associated with them. Everyone has heard the phrase, “they look like such an *insert name here*”. For example, the name ‘Joe’ is such a common name, one would imagine somebody called by it as ‘just your average Joe’. The characters in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest highly value names and their meanings. Names are significant in this play because they accentuate the characters’ personalities and motives.

The quote “Big Brother is watching” this is an allusion which is really meaning that the government is watching you. They most have secret cameras hidden to detect any acts. For example in today’s modern day there are loads of conspiracy theories stating that we are being watched by the government and

Big Brother is the controlling dictator of Oceania, which is the totalitarian state that the Party bows total power to. Every citizen, is under persistent surveillance by the authorities, the Thought Police. The citizens are mainly being monitored by tele-screens. These screens operate both as televisions and security cameras. Tele-screens are located in every room that belongs to a Party member as well as public locations. People in Oceania are constantly reminded that “Big Brother is watching you.” Big Brother is described as a figure that will never die because he is the representation of the Party and is said to live as long as the Party lives.

The possibly of a leader such as "Big Brother" is very scary. Just after this excerpt the reader realizes what "big brother" really means. It means that a resident of this place will always be watched, night and day, and can be brought up on just about anything. No one wants to live a life like this. In the United States we are lucky to not be forced to live a life like this. However, the loss of the freedoms we have would be immeasurable.

9. Charactonym – when a character’s name has some significance to his profile in the novel

Big Brother is looked upon as a God and is similar to how a God is worshiped. Towards the end of the program Big Brother is presented at the end while everyone screams and shouts in joy like they are praising him “At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep, slow, rhythmical chant of 'B-B! . . . B-B!' — over and over again… Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise” (Orwell 18-19). By showing a lot of negative aspects of their enemies within the program and by allowing Big Brother’s face to appear at the end, gives the people a sense of hope that Big Brother is there for them. This is purely false hope because they only do this to get citizens on the party’s side which prevents any rebellion and also if something were to arise they can easily take away their hope breaking their fragile reality. Furthermore, Big Brother perceives to be a saviour in his citizens eyes. The program of Two Minutes Hate deceives the people and it looks like he is doing everything in his power to protect them. "The little sandy-haired woman had flung herself forward over the back of the chair in front of her. With a tremulous murmur that sounded like 'My Saviour!' she extended her arms towards the screen. Then she buried her face in her hands. It was apparent that she was uttering a prayer" (Orwell 18). By being a saviour is also being their hero. A hero is supposed to protect their citizens and hope for a better day. This is shown as Big Brother appears to be fighting for Oceania through telescreens announcing battles that are won. This is a form a psychological manipulation making people believe that anything they say is true as nobody has knowledge of anything and can only fall victim to the party’s lies and

A man who was and is known for his dictatorship and inhumane leadership.
