Paper Summary:

In this essay, the writer looks at society and the lack of freedom portrayed in the film '1984'. The writer discusses that with regard to symbolic interactionalism, the film depicts a cast of characters that have grown to accept the lives that have been created for them. Further, the writer points out that the character's emotions, dreams and desires have all but been forbidden in a system that forces individuals to conform to their allotted places within the social order.

From the Paper:

"In the film 1984 freedom in society is non-existent. The characters live in a world that is controlled by "big brother" and their lives are determined by the rules, which this entity has created. Emile Durkheim's theory of structural functionalism, Max Weber's theory of Conflict, and the micro sociological level theory of symbolic interactionalism apply to this created society."
