Reading the classical dystopian literature of ‘1984’ by George Orwell has led me to the conclusion that it functions as a warning of the dangers of totalitarianism. Orwell projects a negative utopia‚ or dystopia‚ of a future totalitarian society through ‘1984’ which uses psychological manipulation‚ surveillance‚ and a repressive bureaucracy to exert total power over the individual.

Utopia is an ideal communistic society that abolishes private property. The perfect society he creates is therefore not attainable due to humanity never being able to obtain complete and holistic perfection. Utopia’s strict rules impose several limitations upon its citizens that therefore dehumanize them. Utopia’s strict rules limit the citizen’s
