1984 And Communism

Back in 1949 George Orwell imagined a future where everyone was always being watched, the government always keeping tabs on people. In his novel 1984, that is the reality. He depicts the events of the government along with how everyone must watch their every move because “Big Brother” is always watching. Marxism exists in this novel through materialism. Materialism refers to the components of daily lives related directly to one`s economic status. The book 1984 also uses socialism which is the production or capitol that is owned by the community; however, the government owns property just not private property. This relates to the book because all of the characters live their lives in response to the government because they are afraid of the consequences the government might have for them. In George Orwell’s 1984, the government uses fear to manipulate the people. Orwell conveys the ability of powerful social groups to force their dominance over others by using Big Brother as a dominant figure, the Telescreen by projecting the daily events in the world, and The Parties by making sure people follow the laws of the government.

The government of 1984 is 100% totalitarianistic. The psychological deterioration of its citizens was insane.

Written by George Orwell in 1949, 1984 introduces the reader to the totalitarian country of Oceania, ruled by the all-knowing Big Brother and the Party. Winston Smith, a single man quietly opposing the Party, sees Big Brother two different ways in the novel; for almost the entire novel he hates everything that Big Brother is. After his capture, the original hatred of Big Brother is changed to absolute love, through the use of highly developed torture methods. Thus the reader, through the eyes of Winston, is able to make connections between the two sides of Big Brother and the similarities to God.
