Totalitarian Society In 1984 By George Orwell

The novel 1984, written by author George Orwell was about a warning that was against totalitarianism. Orwell would state how “he belonged to the Left and he has a hatred against the Russian totalitarianism”. That's why the novel, 1984, tells us more about Orwells England rather than Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Soviet Union. Winston shouldn't have betrayed Julia, I think they could've escaped and continued to search for the truth. I believe that Winston falling in love with Big Brother could've been written a little differently, he went against the government his life just to fall in love with what they tell him. The ending of the novel wasn't satisfying considering the mind damage Winston had to endure.

In the novel 1984, the government was shown to have full control of everyone and everything. Orwell writes, “All beliefs, habits, tastes, emotions, mental attitudes that characterize our time are really designed to sustain the mystique of the Party and prevent the true nature of present-day society from being perceived” (Orwell 265). Big Brother was then created to show everyone the government is everywhere. We see that the Party had full control of everything such as history, information, physical, and physiological needs. These examples show us that they weren't allowed to do anything under their power. This correlates to the mind damage that Winston and every individual in that society had to endure.
