'1984 – a dystopian novel\r'

'1984 is a dystopian refreshing about the society of the future. Writing in 1948, he images Britain forty years in the future as a totalistic tyranny which combines ele manpowerts of both fabianism and Fascism in a index fingerful, omniscient police- domain, based on terror. The story takes place in a totalitarian state c altogethered Oceania. The globe has been divided up by Oceania and two other states, Eastasia and Eurasia. The post-war land is governed by power groups alternatively at war with one another. afterwards the revolution, the establishment has been replaced by a dictatorship, whose leader is BB. In his features and look, BB all the itinerary recalls Stalin, and the fact that his face is depicted over is a denunciation of the cult of personality, typical in all dictatorships.\r\nTrying to manoeuvre the minds of every citizen, the governing rewrite history, changing rasets. The hero, Winston Smith, is an intellectual and dissents against this world and beg ins to woolgather of destroying the scheme. The translation of London, capital of Oceania, in the first chapter of the book, is akin to wartime London. The environment recalls bomb-damaged London in 1948. The influence of WW2 is clearly evident; it is a nightmargon that still haunts the population. face-to-face freedom is restricted beca procedure Oceania is in a ineradicable state of war and everyone is potentially a traitor. The scarce chance of survival is by showing devotion to the secernateys orthodoxy and complete devotion to the cult of BB. Everybody is constantly hold ined and the intent of wrangle modified to try and crush commutative, individual, free scene, so that the policy-making companionship provide at make it be in underwrite of the whole inward being of every man.\r\nWinston Smith (whose name is a symbol: Winston stands for Churchill, and Smith is a common surname, reservation him a stereotype of every man) works for the Ministry of verity , still he doesnt accept its fanatic attitude so he keeps a diary and falls in love with a girl called Julia. He makes colleague with OBrien, his superior in the Ministry of Truth, because he believes he is against the system as well. However, OBrien turns out to be a fellowship man who has Winston captured. Winston is the last man in BBs dictatorship who tries to keep overlook of his inner self, provided he is arrested because his love story to Julia is illegal and mentally and physically tortured until he loses his mental integrity. When he is rehabilitated and last released he has been cancelled into a robot skilful like all the others. He has not solitary(prenominal) understood and accepted party doctrine, he has even come to love Big Brother. The structure of the bracing recalls a tragedy because it is divided into three split: in Part 1, Winston tries to be free, in Part 2, when he is about to fulfil his dream, his hopes ar crushed, and in Part 3, he surrenders to the system and loses his pityingity.\r\nOrwell gives a description of the political system of totalitarianism. In 1984 he draw the methods used to control thought, to invade privacy and look into down personal resistance. The totalitarian state tries to control the thoughts of citizens through language to limit the danger of nonsymbiotic thought. The use of language in 1984 is especially all-important(prenominal) because Orwell shows how every concept is turned into its exact diametric by the Party, bringing out a satirical effect and tragical irony. So the Ministry of Truth only tells lies, the Ministry of Peace is perplexity with war and the language is contracted, fetching out all creativity from its use, much as it happens today with mobile phones.\r\nThe three irrational slogans of the Party are particularly opineingful because they reveal the ideals the party is based on, thought control and reversal of concepts.\r\nOrwell is concerned with the function of politica l language and shows that in Oceania talking to are so corrupted that they now mean their opposite. This implies that once language is controlled anything that the Party doesnt approve is impossible. therefore reality is distorted and these distortions alter the piece cognition of the truth. This is similarly the danger hidden in wad media, whose power pervades modern society. Mass media control dialogue and impose a global view on all aspects of everyday life. That is why the control of fortune media is important for the political party in power, because through mass media they can create consensus and alters thought so that everybody comes to think and desire what the Party wants them to think and desire.\r\n hence communication becomes manipulation and creates fear, as the dominant faces of BB in posters seem to say. BB IS WATCHING YOU means that everybody is controlled and cant escape. People are alienated, deprived of desires, identity element and interpersonal relation ship, so that they cant but be obedient to the ruling party. So the media in the world created by Orwell in 1984 have a double function: to control human thought so that it comes to comply with the Partys wish and keep watch on people everywhere and at any time. Subject to constant surveillance, citizens never try to rebel or escape. Terror is used to monitor and control peoples thoughts, feelings and actions.\r\nOrwell was politically committed and 1984 shows how precious and fragile human freedom is. In a period of fond unrest, unemployment, economic depression and Nazi expansion, he turned to left-wing ideals and he went to fight for the Republican forces in the Spanish war. The experience in Spain made him sure of the political threats that could destroy left-wing ideals; he was horror-struck of the result of Realpolitik. He was particularly concerned with the tragic development of communist ideals through Stalins dictatorship in the USSR.\r\nOrwell was disappointed by Social ism and believed that the source should be independent. As a matter of fact, though he was a socialist, he was very critical of a Socialism which was detached from the reality and the needs of the running(a) class it is supposed to represent.\r\nOne of the most groovy features is the close connection between his political views and his writing. Orwell believed that the writer was a spokesman for the moral con scientific discipline of society and his duty was to denounce social evils. The influence of Dickens is shown in his choice of social themes and the use of realistic language because he used a simple, direct style. He believed in tolerance and justice and warned against the dangers of totalitarianism and thought control. He criticized totalitarianism, warning against the violation of personal freedom. 1984 shows a prophetic picture of the dangers caused by totalitarian dictatorships which carry away individuality and justice. He wanted to warn readers against tyranny.\r\nTh e world described in 1984 is a nightmare. The party has dictatorial control, rebellion is punished with prison and torture. He showed his concern for the quality of life, human dignity and creativity; in his opinion, these qualities are threatened by the prevailing mode in modern society, where mass media control human actions, tastes and choices. He had a pessimistic view of the masses, because he believed they could be easily manipulated through language. BBs dictatorship controlled thought, invaded personal privacy through microphones and tele-screens and broke down all attempts at resisting by brain-washing people.\r\nMoreover the strategies of the Party control not only the present and the future but also the preceding(a), by re-writing history. Winstons job in the Ministry of Truth is to alter historical records to eliminate all memories of past events and adapt them to party policy when they are inapposite with party doctrine.\r\nOrwells assumption is that a totalitarian state controls the thought of citizens through language to limit the dangers of independent thought. This is still true today because mass media are potentially dangerous, as they break down individuality and independent ideas by crushing imagination with conformity.\r\n1984 is a picture of how the political system can trounce individuality and make man inhuman. Through science fiction he depicts a future world in such a realistic way as to make it very credible. The main characters will and body are broken into total submission, difference no hope in the future of freedom, non-conformism and use of individual reason. Orwells final conclusion of 1984s nightmarish plat is that totalitarian powers destroy human nature and men are hopelessly overwhelmed by oppressive political forces.\r\n'
