In the novel 1984, Orwell produced a social critique of totalitarianism and a future dystopia that made the world reflect and think about our past, present and future. While reading this novel we must all take the time to think about the possibility that Orwell's world could come true. Orwell presents the concepts of power, marginalization, and resistance through the physical, psychological, sexual, and political control of the people of Oceania. The reader experiences the emotional journey through the eyes of Winston Smith, born into the oppressive life under the rule of Ingsoc. Readers are encouraged by Winston to adopt a negative view of the idea of ​​communist government and the inherent dangers of totalitarianism. Psychological manipulation and physical control are explored through Winston's journey, and with Winston's resistance and eventual downfall, the reader is able to fully appreciate O'Brien's reasoning: "Power is not a means, it is an end". of people in Oceania had to start at birth due to deep-rooted reasons. Winston tries to find someone who remembers the old ways of life before Ingsoc took over the government. My belief in this oppression means that the children were very important to the government, these children are brainwashed by their educators to believe that Big Brother is number one and no one else can compare to him. These children are very bad at following Big Brother. This infrastructure encourages the child to seek out Big Brother's enemies as he consolidates his position in society, often by betraying his own blood; “It was almost normal for people over thirty to be afraid of their own children” (Orwell, 24). The government wasn't afraid that... the middle of the paper... would get out, and now there are times when I believe Orwell was right. We have not been completely invaded by the government, but there are cases where we may have to fear Big Brother in our own society. Oppression is not something I have faced in my life, but the fear of what might happen is its own form of oppression. Works Cited Harris, Harold J. "Orwell's Essay's and '1984'."
