Essay / Analysis of 1984 by George Orwell - 669
George Orwell's novel "1984" is by far the most brilliant and interesting book I have read in recent years. The novel is simply Orwell's prophecy of what the future will be like. The novel delves into Orwell's perception of how a world state would function. “1984” was written just after World War II, so it is reasonable to say that the war affected Orwell's view of the future. As I mentioned earlier, the book is interesting, and especially in two particular respects; How George Orwell, in my opinion, makes a very accurate prediction of the future and how individuality is experienced in the novel. I'm just going to identify the pros and cons of the novel, as I think you, as a potential reader of the novel, should do. be informed before exploring George Orwell's daunting dystopia. The title "1984" doesn't draw any attention to it, and that's one of the reasons I think the book doesn't get the recognition it deserves. The last two chapters of the book are also quite long, as they assure the reader of a fact that they were informed of earlier in the novel. The world imagined by George Orwell consists of three superpowers; Eurasia, Eastasia and Oceania. The three superpowers are all engaged in a perpetual, never-ending war. In the novel, we follow the main character Winston Smith and his lover Julie throughout their rebellious lives. Winton works for the government and is 39 years old, while Julie is much younger but also works for the government. The novel was written after World War II, and at that time there were real questions about whether the communist totalitarian state would take over. or not. George Orwell thought about this possibility and wrote a novel in the middle of a paper......which shocked me the most. As mentioned earlier, the three states of the world are engaged in endless wars. In fact, there is no actual War Between the States in the novel. It is in the interest of all three states to continue the war. This strategy also involves keeping the population in constant fear, because they cannot rebel against the government, otherwise the enemy will have the upper hand. This brings me to the situation the world finds itself in today. The war on terror is the endless war predicted by George Orwell in this wonderful novel. To conclude this review, I would end with a strong recommendation of this very book. The novel still manages to give me goosebumps, and that very slogan doesn't seem to leave my mind, and I don't think it will leave yours once you've read the novel; War is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength.
