“The bleak setting of ‘1984’ reflects the bleak lives of the characters.” Discuss. There is no doubt that the setting of ‘1984’ is bleak – it just simply cannot get any more miserable and dreary.

The significance of this passage in 1984 by George Orwell is that it teaches the reader that the Party controls everything. When O’Brien says: “I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to.
