In his book, Orwell depicts the horrors of man’s
fate in a society where Big Brother is always watching and censoring
thoughts and behavior.
“I do not believe that the kind of society I
describe necessarily will arrive, but I believe that something
resembling it could arrive. The moral to be drawn from the dangerous
nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on
you,” wrote Orwell.
“1984” follows Winston Smith, a character who lives
in London in a totalitarian society. Winston is disgusted with his
oppressed life and secretly longs to join the fabled Brotherhood, a
supposed group of underground rebels intent on overthrowing the
government.
Winston meets Julia, and they secretly fall in love and
have an affair, something which is considered a crime. The rest of the
story is one of deceit, torture and heartbreak.
