George Orwell

A detailed Summary of George Orwell

George Orwell lived in England during World War Two, when England

had been at war with the totalitarian state, Nazi Germany. He was there when

London was blanket bombed and left in rubble by the Germans. Like many

writers he decided to make a statement with his work, and did. George Orwell's

novel 1984 was written as a political statement of against totalitarianism.

Totalitarianism is a form of government that tries to assert total control

over its citizens (Comptons). Being nothing like democracy, totalitarianism is like

communism, as it also has one party rule, no free and open elections, and due

process is not guaranteed, however totalitarianism is much more controlling.

Orwell presents the evils of such a system is 1984.

1984 is about life in a world where no personal freedon exists. The book's

main character is a man named Winston Smith. He is not a heroic type of person

nor is he extraordinarily intelligent. However, Winston hassomething that the

majority of the people at his time and in the situation that they're in don't, a good

pair of eyes. I don't mean good eyes as far as good vision goes but rather good

Soviet communists who were trying to kill him. During Stalin's reign over 10

was sixty (Orwell 109). She tries to look as pure as possible as to not arouse

government isn't as right as the people think it is.
