    Orwell‚ the author of 1984‚ shows a similar concept‚ where life is controlled by the Party and where the main character‚ Winston‚ tries to defy the Party.

    Setting of 1984

    • 5 Pages

As a result‚ many of the individual features of the settings of ‘‘1984’’ can be traced back to England between 1939 - 45. At
