In this way the promises of peace, and prosperity that the ruler used to gain power are turned on their head, causing violence and destitution. Orwell paints a picture of a world that takes

Seemingly, monsters appear at every stage of life and can easily summon chaos upon the innocent. However, the author insists that humankind was built with a more substantial structure, “shaped and fastened with iron” (348), that can withstand the force and brutality of evil.
