Through the eyes of Winston‚ the protagonist in 1984‚ we observe the forces used for the government to retain its complete power over the people. The government almost diminished free thought of the people‚ has destroyed any means of building relationships‚ and utilized fear to make sure everyone would stay true to Big Brother.
