Discuss The Consequences Of Totalitarianism

Winston tries to act against what the Party wants him to act like. He realizes that common sense isn’t what the Party wants, and Winston opposes to those ideas, believing that what he perceives as reality is the truth. He believes that freedom is the ability to say that two plus two makes four. His struggle to assert his individual nature against the Party is a demonstration of how the Party denies a person’s independence. In general, many totalitarian governments often deny human beings their individuality, destroying any thoughts that oppose the totalitarian ideals. Orwell not only gives a demonstration of the Party’s totalitarian ways, but he demonstrates that denial of independence is one of the many consequences of embracing totalitarianism.
