The Face Of Fear In 1984 Vs. Orwell's 1984

In our world, everything we do is monitored. Nothing we do goes unseen. Our world demonstrates the idea of an Orwellian society. The book 1984 by George Orwell shows a society that is a perfect example for this idea. The Stanford experiment, the documentary 10 Days in North Korea, and the Milgram experiment each represent a great example of an Orwellian society.

The idea about human to reconcile the uncertainties of the past with a new or present situation. Throughout the year I studied the texts about, novel 1984 by George Orwell, a film Good Will Hunting and Shakespeare's play Hamlet. In these texts because the characters' uncertainty about the past, they won’t succeed in future situations in their lives. I'm referring from the text of how these uncertainties can have an effect for these protagonists throughout the story until they reach tougher situations.

Orwell is making a statement that describes how fear is a way stronger force than love. The Party works to rebel all physical temptations of love, and depersonalizes sex to the point where it is referred to as a "duty to the Party". Some Party organizations even advocate complete abstinence and procreation only through insemination. Fear is an element of human nature that cannot be changed fear has always existed within every human being and always will. The fear of physical pain, fear of the loss of something, fear of commitment, or fear of consequences.

In book one, Orwell sets up this dystopian society in which the fear you have controls the actions you take. There are telescreens set up in every room and everywhere outside allowing the parties and Big Brother to see everything the proles do. With this, rises paranoia because now people are afraid to do certain things that would be considered unlawful, like writing or committing thoughtcrime. The idea of fear is already strong in this book, but the fact that the author puts posters and telescreens saying “Big Brother is Watching You,” outside on most the buildings places the paranoia at a higher level. The proles are told that Big brother is the leader of the party, but they don’t even know if he actually exists. Another example that can

This book is full of mystery, and if you want to find out what happened to people who lived in a country that ruled them with an iron fist in 1984, answer that question as you follow a character named Winston and his experiences in Oceania and Big Brother. The country of airstrip one takes its citizens who have committed a crime to strike fear into the people and keep them in line. This makes the people fear the government, and it doesn’t help that they know nothing about them, and they are fed information that could be completely wrong. The world was in complete chaos behind the scenes, but from the people's perspective, it looked safe and organized. The party has used fear tactics to keep them in check, as the police have public executions

Paranoia an uncontrollable emotion that refers to the suspicion or perception that one has against a hostile or aggressive figure or horror. It can often lead to the point of delusion or irrationality in the person. This emotion is catastrophic, it takes over people's minds and bodies, making their “true” self disappear. Once the fear is inside of a person it is hard to overcome. 1984, is a dystopian novel written by George Orwell. He writes about what he imagines the year 1984 will be like, based off of his knowledge about war, fear, and totalitarian governments in the 1940s and 50s. George Orwell, has personal experience of innocent people that were haunted by paranoia, and is one of the key reasons he decided to become an author and write this book. Paranoia is a frequent recurring topic in this novel, that many citizens in the city of Oceania experience, most importantly, the main character, Winston. People in Airstrip one are haunted by Big brother and the Party, because of their cruel ways of order. Big Brother is a real life representation of dictators from World War Ⅱ, but mostly portrays qualities like Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union. The party ruled under Big Brother, making policies, claims, and decisions for Oceania. Paranoia always has been an analytical part of governments, and is so influential in 1984. This feeling exhibits the true meaning of fear and the alterations that come along with the power a certain group or figure holds above a

The concept of being forced to follow society and the government through fear and torture is represented and can be connected through the book 1984, written by George Orwell and through an article from Sky News titled, North Korea defector: We follow Kim Jong Un because we're scared. In 1984, Big Brother wants and envisions a perfect society enough to where they are way too overpowering. They control everything, they watch every move you make, they know the ins and outs of your life, your family is broken up, there are no relationships and the last thing that you are able to enjoy is personal privacy. Telescreens, line against the walls to keep no space unwatched for any possible rebellious or abnormal act. The government controls everybody and everything. A quote from chapter 5 sums up much of the lack of privacy individuals in London are given. “It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called.” Big Brother’s advanced technology and special tactics to always watch you are so precise that the even the smallest act of rebellion could give

Based on events from the past and what is shown in 1984, I believe a society focused on fear and hatred will not be able to flourish. O’Brien argued, in the novel, that The Party has control over external reality because nothing exists outside the mind, only The Party exists (Orwell). Winston responded to this by saying that a society that lives on fear and hatred would have no vitality, it would disintegrate, and it would commit suicide (Orwell). I personally agree with Winston because a society needs to breathe or have freedoms in order to survive. In essence, I believe a society based on hate and suffering, such as what O’Brien described, could not exist for long, and the intoxication of power and thrill of victory could not be enough motivation for people to continue living without friendship or love, and I could not live in such a suffering society.

Fear in only Big Brother is how the Inner Party controls the Outer Party. Complete fear and faith in Big Brother keeps the Party in control. In this state of totalitarian everything is controlled from who the residents are allowed to marry to the amount of food the citizens are allowed to eat. In the novel 1984 writtten by George Orwell, the oppressive government has a large influence on natural human instinct through the manipulation of thoughts, relationships, fear of committing

Before every sporting event at Bexley High School the announcer says, “we live in a country with freedoms like no other”. He is right. We do have freedoms that aren’t afforded any other place on earth, but as Americans we often take those freedoms for granted and assume we have them even when we might not. Often times we are being oppressed not by a law, but fear. This control by fear is used both by the government in George Orwell’s 1984 and by modern American media and politicians.

Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”, and George Orwell’s “1984” both portray totalitarian regimes who strive for complete control over their population. The methods that they use to achieve this are almost polar opposites. While one uses war/bombing, thought/relationships, and through the dreaded room 101 as a means of control, the other uses sex/orgies, relationships, and soma to establish order throughout the population.

There is a question that arises in today’s society: What is fear? By definition, fear is “a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc.,whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid” (“Fear”) . I wonder how does fear feel like. Fear is a word that cannot be expressed but is experienced first-hand.

Being structured on fear inhibits the possibility of a civilization's endurance. Fear can cause people to become unpredictable, to the point of sacrificing strong beliefs they once held. In 1984, Winston is determined to not sacrifice his relationship with Julia, as they both tell O'Brien that they are unwilling "'to separate and never see one another again'"(Orwell, 173), and when tortured, Winston holds on to the fact that he has held to his beliefs and not betrayed Julia(273). However, when placed in Room 101, facing his greatest fear, Winston quickly forgets his will to not hurt his relationship and his hope in the fact that he has not been unfaithful to her. When his fear gets closer, he exclaims, "'Do it to Julia...I don't care what you do to her'"(286). This exposure to Winston's greatest fear caused him to behave contradictory to his previous belief of loyalty

“Self-preservation is the first law of nature.” (Samuel Butler 1675) It’s common sense and hard wired into the minds of all humans and animals, that if your safety is questioned then your minds will make you do anything to return to whatever makes you feel peace. Playing on common fears of people, will strengthen power and will erase any inquiring into their policies (commandments). Orwell not only wanted to show fear in a fictional sense, but in the non-fictional sense as well. Orwell produced this by the characterisation of the pigs, with the progression of pig to man and this general stigma of pigs being used to describe man; this is largely evident at the end of the novel, “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig,

Fear is all around us, and fear is surging. Fear can take control of our actions, what we share or comment. Fear has distinct meaning but have the same purpose: to manipulate or control a person, man, woman and/or even a child. Fear can be to discipline children or control the environment around us, humans have been more afraid everyday. As an outcome, this fear tactic violates human rights and negatively affects the innocent. On many situations, history and politics acknowledge, where fear and fear tactics direct to human manipulation and control. This can be certainly seen in modern political situations and practices, culture or society such as terrorism and McCarthyism.
