The Physical And Psychological Manipulations In George Orwell's 1984

1984 by George Orwell is about a dystopian alternate reality in which Orwell illustrates his hyperbolic predictions of what the world of communism and control would look like. He writes about Winston Smith, a member of the Outer Party of Oceania, who gives his own narration of the world of Oceania. The novel focuses on the socioeconomic classes of Oceania and how the physical and psychological manipulations contribute to the underlying theme of control. Whether the government is controlling the people directly, like in the case of the Outer Party, or they are controlling them through a lack of opportunity, like the proles, The Party controls the entire lives of all its citizens.
