  • Essay / George Orwell 1984 - 1032

    George Orwell 1984 “No one is free, even the birds are chained in the sky. » This quote is not from 1984, but it might as well be. Bob Dylan said this probably without knowing the connection it has with George Orwell's 1984. 1984 depicts a dystopian world in which civilians are constantly monitored and brainwashed. There is no conventional freedom, there is no real individual in this world, there is a feeling of coldness in 1984. The main character Winston is trying to understand his past and what is real and what is is propaganda in this world. In the novel, "Big Brother" changes people and the human race to suit his wishes.

He was shot in the head, but it is unclear whether Winston died or not. He confessed everything to Big Brother. This amounts to the statement that the free man is doomed. Winston was ultimately happy with how things turned out. We don't know why, but he loved Big Brother because after everything that happened to him, Big Brother was the same. The idea of ​​a change in human nature is a major theme in George Orwell's 1984. There is no freedom, there is no dignity, there is no freedom. There is no integrity and there is no love. There are four actions, emotions, thoughts that make us human. Without it we are nothing special, humans might as well be apes. 1984 is frankly shocking in its vision of the future of human society. There is a reason why George Orwell wrote 1984 at this time and I believe it is his vision of the future and his warning to us all..
