Fear, an emotion that overwhelms you, forces you to act in a certain way and refrain from taking certain risks. Fear invades us day after day. We are afraid of dying, of losing and of failing. In the world of 1984, fear controls not only individuals individually, but humanity as a whole. The leaders of the Inner Party and the ultimate leader, Big Brother, controlled the people of Oceania through their fears. Through rebellion, love, technology and the control of history, Party members found themselves limited in every aspect of human nature. In 1984, free thought was a revolt. Physical actions of rebellion never took place in the world created by George Orwell. Due to Big Brother's lack of freedom of thought, people turned to thinking to escape the brutal world. Any thought outside of the thinking conceived by the Party was a “thought crime” (13). Any thought of uprising or any thought of hatred directed against the Party was a crime. Every thought was an act of rebellion. Winston commits many thought crimes throughout the book, and at the end the Thought Police arrest him. Not only did he revolt in thought, but he attempted to provoke a physical revolt by joining “the brotherhood” (171). Physical and romantic relationships also rebel against the party. They dislike human relationships that do not benefit the Party, such as the relationship between Winston and Julia. Attempting to hide their relationship, the two must sneak around TV screens to continue their connection. Winston protested against the Party in his own way, but ultimately failed by falling in love with Big Brother (298). Love still exists in the novel 1984 because everyone loves Big Brother, or will love him. Winston and Julia "loved each other", although their love is arguably more focused... middle of paper...... shows the easy manipulation of children. The main message of the Children's Story tells us that the unconsciousness of children and adults makes it easier to control and influence thoughts and beliefs. In 1984, Winston tells us that the people "unable to understand" the Party's point of view turn out to be those who taught it very successfully (156). These people were never able to fully grasp the “blatant violations of reality” and never understood what the Party demanded of them (156). The messages of 1984 and The Children's Story send a strong message to our government: we must keep people informed. Children also need to know who they swear allegiance to, why they pray to God, and who God is. Adults need to be aware of government issues, especially politics. People need to be aware of what each politician stands for and know their beliefs..
