    In 1984‚ George Orwell depicted a world of absolute monarchy and authority. This was an age of tyranny and indoctrination. Freedom and liberty were foreign to the people in Oceania and their lives were constantly under the omnipresence of ever watchful telescreens.

In this fascinating Oceania utopia

    I read your response about George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”. It’s very interesting how you tried to figure out what the author was imagining. I agree your response in that the story is “too close to recent historical events without being close enough”.

    when not afraid of what will happen. Orwell claims they were a “ragbag of anecdotes” and he unconsciously wrote a “hymn to a liberty”(1). Another reason is that Twain was a social critic and his deteriorating career became questionable and unclear. A third reason was that he had tended to show weakness in his character.

    sympathy towards the elephant and a slightly more complex feeling towards the author who‚ although he kills the elephant‚ suffers inwardly during the process and appears to be affected by the Burman crowd’s greed to strip the carcass. In the society Orwell lived in‚ hunting was common amongst gentlemen and is less challenged morally. This is revealed by “one never does…” The use of this inclusive pronoun brings the reader to a circle of experienced hunters and indicates Orwell’s assumption of the reader’s

    Orwell‚ Freud‚ and 1984 Paul Roazen George Orwell and Sigmund Freud seem mutually uncongenial figures in intellectual history. In print Orwell rarely referred to the founder of psychoanalysis. According to his friend Geoffrey Gorer‚ Orwell regarded psychoanalysis with mild hostility‚ putting it somewhat on a par with Christian Science.

    “Big Brother” is the term for the ever-present totalitarian government in the society portrayed in 1984 by George Orwell. This government watched and listened to its citizens by way of telescreens in every room and was in complete control of the countries’ history. They even controlled everything that what was shown on the telescreens. Though this type of control may seem insane‚ it is actually happening in America today in forms that are not so different than those we see in the novel. The United
