1984
The novel 1984 deals with the nineteen thirties extremist views. These views were thought to be a prelude to what was to come in the year 1984. Firstly, the way in which O’Brien treats Winston leads to Winston’s admiration and masochism for O’Brien. Secondly, O’Brien seduces Winston using temptation and false allusions. Moreover, a major part of this novel is psychological control through the methods of physical and emotional torture. Lastly, through false dreams O’Brien manipulates Winston into believing false realities. In George Orwell’s 1984, O’Brien, as a figure of power, controls Winston psychologically to become his true manifestation of love. Winston has disjointed feelings towards O’Brien, in that he loves being controlled by him and because of that control he admires him. Mason Harris believes that “Winston’s fatal characteristic is not his talent sadism, but the stronger reverse side of his personality, his masochistic admiration for O’Brien” (40). He ends up finding himself admiring O’Brien in a masochistic manner, even though O’Brien’s torturing is cruel and painful. This “masochistic admiration” leads to him trusting O’Brien to much even when he isn’t sure of what O’Brien’s feel
