Ludwig von Mises once stated, “Freedom can only be won by men unconditionally committed to the principles of freedom” (Mises 95). Throughout George Orwell’s novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, the protagonist, Winston Smith, is caught between the bounds of his individual perception of freedom and society’s contrasting reality. While much of the society around him mindlessly follows the Party and Big Brother, Winston finds himself stopping to question what makes mankind free. As he begins to see the truths

government wants the population to believe. Welcome to the mind of George Orwell, where totalitarian governments, loss of control, manipulation and the world’s biggest fears come to life. Directly following the Second World War, the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four depicts the average life of Winston Smith. Winston is a member of the Outer Party working in the Ministry of Truth to falsify written documents. He goes to work when he is supposed to, he lives alone in a single bedroom apartment, and he participates

In Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four the power of language empowered the Party to solidify their control over the citizens. The politicians isolated the citizen’s state of mind instructing them to do what was asked of them. They were not able to have their own critical thinking because they worked like machines who were functioned by the Party. Throughout the entire novel, Newspeak was used by the Party to take the citizens of Oceania to such an extent where their state of mind was isolated from their

The aim of my essay is to analyze George Orwell’s novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” considering the psychoanalytical approach and attempting to find an answer to narrative mysteries. In the effort to identify hidden intentions and anxieties of the author expressed in the novel through different characters I am going to apply certain Freudian methods such as the interpretation of dreams or the analysis of symbols and discuss Freud’s ideas about the connection between civilization and the psyche.

Orwell's definition of a hero was “ordinary people doing whatever they can to change social systems that do not respect human decency, even with the knowledge that they can't possibly succeed.” Winston Smith fits Orwell's description of a hero very well. Winston, while he is in full control of his mind, does fight to stop the party and help the people. From his lowly position, he isn't able to achieve much, but he also seeks the help of people higher up in the party to assist him. Eventually, because

In my opinion I view him to be a hero however but of a tragic hero. What makes him a hero is that the indisputable fact that he is ready to see the failings of the society, despite the intense measures the rulers create to stay people laden, which he is willing to go against that society. That shows that he is succeeded to stay a human being, he does not believe the information that perpetually tells him that he lives within the best society that ever existed, he is ready to see through the fabrication

For a dystopian society, there is the illusion that the society is perfect. There are many cases in the novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four that one can recognize as a characteristic of a

In George Orwell’s, Nineteen Eighty-Four, the people of the country, Oceania live under a totalitarian government. This iconic political novel serves as a cautionary tale for future governments at the time it was written in 1949.

Alarmingly, the United States has begun to reflect similar traits founded in Orwell’s fictitious and terrifying country
