Nineteen Eighty-Four

George Orwell’s convoluted novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, can be interpreted through various literary lenses. The world of Oceania is split up into three factions and throughout this novel, Orwell proves[1] there are distinctions between the classes of the Inner Party, Outer Party and the Proles. Orwell establishes that the overarching theme of this novel is government interjection in people’s lives which further alienates them from what makes them inherently human.

--regardless of the gender, the Party portrays a good wife, a good husband, a good citizen all must swear their loyalty to the Party and love Big Brother; the Party and Big Brother must be above all. Nevertheless, the gender roles portrayed in Nineteen Eighty-Four have different characteristics associated with their gender

In conclusion, the world of 1984 is not as far from our world as it may seem. Like how Winston changes history with a few words, our media controls what we know.

In the beginning, Winston didn 't like this girl names Julia. She was "a bold-looking girl" about 27 years old, with thick dark hair, a freckled face. At first Winston didn’t like Julia

Orwell uses imagery associated with the setting Winston finds himself in to reflect how Big Brother influences the lives of everyday citizens. “He was in a high-ceilinged windowless cell” The Party doctrine imprisons its followers much like Winston finds himself imprisoned in the Ministry of Love, Orwell shows this through the description of the room Winston is held in and why he’s held there. Winston is held in the room by the Party and because he disobeyed Party doctrine. “walls of glittering

Winston Smith is the protagonist in this book. He is rebellious against the antagonist, Big Brother and believes in freedom and free will which is against the morals of Big Brother. Winston has told multiple accounts where he rebels against Big Brother, including the time when Orwell, the author wrote, “He dipped the pen into the ink and then faltered for just a second.

He envisions the decay of future society and implements his ideas through his creation of “Nineteen Eighty-Four”. Indications of a psychological fear are examined initially through the progression and change of the human mind, which is built upon the oppression of the Party. Through the construction of a world with no freedom and individuality, the human
