Nineteen Eighty-Four

Geography class and I was particularly interested with this topic. The novel Nineteen Eighty-Four perfectly fits my interest since it’s about governments and propagandas. As a result, I chose my research question to be: “How and why does the Party use propaganda? How does this compare to some of the modern propagandas used across the world during not only World War II but during current times as well?”. The novel Nineteen Eighty-Four is a dystopian fiction novel written by George Orwell. The story takes

Written in 1944, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a novel which portrays the experiences of Winston Smith, the protagonist and other significant characters such as Julia who are bound to live within a totalitarian regime in which the powerful forces are manipulation and fear. The work of literature demonstrates the visionary concept of how totalitarian regimes may evolve if they were permitted to do so. The power of the gaze is investigated in Nineteen Eighty-Four to assess

George Orwell’s, Nineteen Eighty-Four describes the dystopian society of Oceania which resembles several aspects of Nazi Germany when under the reign of Adolf Hitler. The novel and Nazi Germany have several similar characteristics. Both Oceania and Nazi Germany are ruled by dictators under a totalitarianistic government. These dictators, Adolf Hitler and Big Brother, use many different tactics and techniques to make sure they keep control of the citizens under their rule. The first strategy they

George Orwell was an English novelist, who is one of the most influential writers in history. In the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell displays that he is a strong writer. George Orwell is a strong writer, because he shows good use literary devices such as symbolism, theme, and tension. Symbolism was displayed throughout the whole novel of Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell used many symbols in the novel such as Winston’s belief in the proles. “If there was hope, it must lie in the proles” (Orwell, 69)

this chapter will deals with the Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and its comparative study between present societies. Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) is constantly referred to in popular culture, the Big Brother a constant reference in popular culture, after some sixty seven years of its first publication when we actually reflect looking at it where we are today the concept of 1984 doesn’t actually seems that shocking. Many components of Nineteen Eighty-Four, are more or less happening somewhere today

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.

Texts often reflect upon problems faced by a society, it the time of the texts creation. Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Metropolis by Fritz Lang take the social context of their time to deliver a warning to society. Through their deliverance of their messages, they explore the impact of oppression and rebellion and how that has an impact on society, as well as, introspectively.

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
