    • 5 Pages

    Orwell uses many forms of symbolism in his novel 1984. Just a few of these symbols are the rats that Winston is afraid of‚ the diary where he keeps all his thoughts and feelings‚ and the gin that both Winston and other public figures turn to help control their emotions. Another notable symbol is the telescreen‚ which evokes feelings of dictatorship over the population‚ as they are constantly being watched for any signs of rebellion. Orwell’s symbols all point to the same general idea: the weakening

    Are people controlled by their fears or pleasures? According to George Orwell’s view in the novel 1984‚ people are controlled by their fears. Some fears may be caused by wars‚ earthquakes‚ and many other fearful objects. I strongly stand with Orwell and his opinion rather than Aldous Huxley‚ author of Brave New World‚ and Neil Postman‚ author of Amusing ourselves to Death‚ and their beliefs that people are controlled by their pleasures. I believe people are controlled by their fears. Nowadays

    either a utopia or a dystopia‚ or both. I believe that what such imagining allows us is to do is locate ourselves within a type of dialectic of the best possible or worst possible outcomes that our own historical conditions may lead us to. By imagining utopian and dystopic cities we are alerted to the ethical and moral implications that constantly changing social structures‚ always under continual sway by developments in technology‚ hold for communities in cities. Visions of dystopia and utopia function

    Many readers try to decide whether the community in The Giver is a utopia or a dystopia. After reading The Giver and learning the characteristics of utopias and dystopias I have come to the conclusion that Jonas’s community is a dystopia because of the lack of color‚ the existence of sameness‚ and the very controlling government. First of all‚ Jonas was introduced to color completely in chapter twelve. By taking into account the fact that before he was assigned his job Jonas could not see color

    Dystopia is a Utopia gone wrong to create a society that rather than making people happy‚ makes people unhappy. That is exactly what the town in Fahrenheit 451 had become‚ a dystopia. The creation of this dystopia was the result of the government fearing the power given to the citizens through the knowledge in books so they took them away. The ban of books formed the dystopia‚ the people’s fear of being burned for reading made the social principles‚ and the people who didn’t fear to be burned rebelled

    If utopia was conceived as the ‘no place’ capable of marking humanity’s many failures against an unattainable paradise‚ then the antithetic dystopia was allotted the task of illuminating humanity’s defects by modelling its logical extreme. The Children of Men‚ by English novelist P.D.James‚ presents a landscape cursed with the ultimate apocalypse for the human kind: Omega‚ or gradual extinction by mass infertility. Its landscape compels individuals to interact within a world thronged with faults

    In the novel 1984‚ written by George Orwell‚ it is clear that the members of Oceania are heavily influenced into blindly believing the ideas of the Party without any questions. Throughout the book‚ these mantras are constantly repeated: war is peace‚ freedom is slavery‚ and ignorance is strength. Clearly‚ the first two mantras are natural opposites of each other‚ but the last one is not the complete opposite. Instead of saying weakness is strength‚ George Orwell states that ignorance is the true
