To the surprise of many, not all governments have the happiness of the subjects in mind. In fact, many ruling bodies have only their own selfish interests in their sights. This situation is depicted in the novel 1984 where the government is not for the good of the people, but instead is self-serving. The illustrated

For many, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the word “war” is a cause, moreover fighting for beliefs or ethics that radically differ from the opposing side’s. However, a more universal similarity between wars, fiction or nonfiction, is economic gain. In 1984, The Eyre Affair, and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, the antagonist has the same motivation for the same action; each aim to start a major war in order to sell weapons that they produce, earning a substantial profit for
