The novel is set in a totalitarian society where whatever the government says goes without question. The Party is able to distort and rewrite the past‚ including the memories of the people‚ but a small glass paperweight from before the rule of the Party remains. The glass coral paperweight that Winston purchases at Charington’s shop becomes a dominant symbol in Orwell’s 1984. The antique

    Symbolism in 1984

    • 855 Words
    • 4 Pages

    George Orwell‚ in his dystopian novel 1984‚ includes many symbolic objects‚ themes‚ and characters. These symbols are important to a deeper understanding of the book and its purpose. The language in 1984 is symbolic of the Party ’s manipulation of its members. The development of Newspeak‚ although seeming to improve the civilization‚ depletes thought‚ creativity‚ and individualism in its speakers. This represents the Party ’s main goal of brainwashing and taking complete control. The terms

    • 4 Pages

    I just want to say that I felt that giving a speech would be better than making a video because there’s really no way that I can make 1984 funny. I would honestly classify George Orwell’s work as a horror novel. It doesn’t have the traditional horror elements like zombies or a haunted house. That kind of horror is child’s play. The horror in 1984 is the scariest kind because it almost seems plausible. The story revolves around a totalitarian society where the government is trying and succeeding to

    “Freedom is the right to tell people what they don’t want to hear‚” says George Orwell‚ writer of 1984. The Party has taken away the rights of the people to know the truth in order to maintain power. Although some would believe that the most central paradox in Orwell’s 1984 is the Party’s slogan “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength‚” it is clearly the act of doublethink because it’s the Party’s form of psychological control in order to maintain power. To demonstrate‚ it is the
