In the novel 1984‚ author George Orwell makes many predictions as to what society would conform to in the year 1984. Although these predictions are jurassic and farfetched‚ many of Orwell’s predictions are expressed in our modern day American society. 1984 showcases the empowerment of a totalitarian government. The main Character‚ Winston‚ lives in a society where the government controls every aspect of his life‚ ranging from his food to his razor portions‚ and even his thoughts. Our American government

pinnacle of human emotion‚ love cannot be put as a high winded scientific theory. However‚ as love is a gift of the human condition it is also a dangerous tool. The use of love as a tool for one’s selfish regimine is a crime of exponential standards. In George Orwell’s “1984” the tyrannic rule of The Big Brother and the Party extends over all aspects of the land they govern. The Party unjustly controls every fiber of their society. Love is no exception to this dishonorable rule. In the hands of the Party

1. Theme: Throughout the novel‚ Orwell made it plain that the major theme of the novel was the power of the Party‚ however‚ in Part 3‚ Orwell used torture as a minor theme‚ and that minor theme was used to convey the major theme. Evidence of that is found on page 266 when characters Winston and O’Brien discussed the fact that one proclaims his power over another by making the other suffer. For example‚ once in captivity‚ Winton and other prisoners were starved‚ as witnessed on pages 225 and 235

imperialistic forms of government. His two most famous works (1984 and Animal Farm) both exemplify this point‚ but at the same time weaken it. These two works were written in protest of those governments‚ but in a fictional back ground. In Orwell’s essay Shooting an Elephant‚ he uses a personal experience to more clearly emphasize the impact of imperialism at the sociological and psychological level‚ in conjunction with other literary elements. This symposium of devices help drive the purpose of his

Initially I thought that the concept of a dystopian society was a prevalent issue that George Orwell faced and his usage of the title 1984 was very persuasive for his audience. The fact that it was written in 1949 and portrayed 1984 as a technologically advanced society was very interesting to me because it showed how close Orwell believed the threat of totalitarianism was and it also showed technology as being a bad thing because the telescreens were used to constantly stream propaganda as well

George Orwell’s Animal Farm perfectly portrays dictatorship at its worst. The animals of Manor Farm dream of creating a perfect utopian world for themselves where they can live freely without human rule and antagonism. Sadly though‚ soon after the animals conquer and drive out their master‚ there comes along yet another suppressing figure. Napoleon the pig begins to manipulate the other animals like putty in his hoofs in order to gain ultimate power and control over them. He and the other pigs take
