Abstract
This paper analyses the novel "1984" by George Orwell and compares how present working conditions through modern technology could easily parallel the predictions in the book.
From the paper:
Nineteen eighty-four is a tale of future society, a society in which independent thinking is a crime punishable by death. A tale of a society that is populated with mindless, loveless, unfeeling followers of nothing. This is also a nation whose leaders are self serving and are not concerned with the common good by which all of society will benefit. A governing force known as "The Party" rules society. At the head of this government is a fictional figure known as Big Brother, whom all citizens must love and respect. The idealism of blind loyalty was embodied in this symbol. It was the center of control. In this society, privacy and freedom do not exist. The Party does not need to justify its arrogant ways because it holds all of the power.

Abstract
"Nineteen Eighty-Four" revolves around Orwell?s distrust and his fear of the government and Orwell uses extreme examples of a fictitious government that is run by a single ?Party.? This paper shows how Orwell emphasizes the power of the government and the apathy of the people to send a warning out to readers. It shows how the absolute and corrupt power of the government, multiplied by the indifference of the people of Oceania, serves as an alarm.
From the Paper
"Orwell was careful not to give a specific name to the Party besides its rather generic identification of ?The Party.? He does this for two reasons. The first is so the reader can identify with any party and any government, as they all have the potential to become what is in Nineteen Eighty-Four. The second reason draws into the Party?s power. The simple title shows how the Party is seen as a dominating force. It no longer needs a title, as God does not need a title. God is simply ?God,? as the Party is simply ?The Party.? The reader sees how the Party first destroys love like with Winston and Julia, destroys the family, and then in their absence creates Big Brother, a new family for the citizens of Oceania. The Party then becomes an all-knowing, all-powerful presence over the people?the Party becomes God. Once the Party becomes God, they secure their power by creating what Orwell fears most?War, Slavery, and Ignorance, the three pillars of the Party."

Abstract
This paper looks at the works of author, George Orwell. George Orwell's upbringing, and life history are detailed in order to give us a glimpse into the influences that he would draw upon when writing his books. Taking this into account, this paper looks at several of his writings, including his most famous works, "Animal Farm," and "1984," in order to show how his writings were indeed, deeply influenced by the world events and his life experiences.
From the Paper
"His work was controversial at the time, but "Animal Farm" and "1984" have both become classics. They are studied in many literature classes. Some people think they are very negative and even "bleak," but they are social commentaries, and those aren't always positive books. Orwell's outlook may have been equally bleak to write these books, he doesn't seem to like society, or have any hope it will get better, which comes out in these books."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that George Orwell, who began his career as a political writer during the Second World War, published his satirical novel "Animal Farm" in 1945, addressing issues about socialism, repression, and implicitly, cynicism. The author relates that Orwell used animal characters to explicate and illustrate his ideas, which makes the novel an "animallegory". The paper points out Orwell's two central theses that develop the progress of the novel, which involved human realities portrayed through 'animal interaction': (1) All social orders created and developed by human societies, which suffer repression, continue to prevail thereby making these so-called social orders, as in the case of the novel--capitalism, socialism and totalitarianism, ineffective and (2) in the perpetuation of repression and suffering in human societies, cynicism is the only way in which these can be alleviated.
From the Paper
"Under Napoleon's leadership, Animal Farm became totalitarian. Animals no longer worked for the sake of their community, but rather, for the sake of Napoleon and his military of dogs, as well as the privileged 'class' in the farm-the pigs. This social order was once again proved ineffective because of the oppressive nature of Napoleon's leadership. Ironically, Man, the enemy of animals, began establishing good relations with Napoleon and the pigs, an occurrence that proved how the farm had once again returned to its first social order (capitalism) under a new leader and regulations. In fact, conditions in the farm worsened than ever before, with the animals working now as slaves only for the sake of Napoleon and his 'comrades': the pigs and humans."

Abstract
This paper examines the prophetic literary work "1984", by George Orwell. The paper outlines Orwell's warning that if we allow ourselves and our society to psychologically surrender our own personal thoughts, feelings, values and memories, we will inevitably become vulnerable to totalitarian governments. Totalitarianism is discussed and the writer provides examples of other literary works which dealt with anti-utopian societies.
From the Paper
" "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." This is the future that George Orwell offers us in his prophetic novel, 1984. He has created an anti-utopian totalitarian state in which there are no freedoms, no liberties, and no rights. It is the complete opposite of what western societies have strived for decades to escape from and prevent. Yet, we still manage to fall into the trap of totalitarianism from time to time. Thus Orwell's novel and serve as a warning to us, and teach us what we need to be conscious of in order to avoid falling completely into the hands of totalitarian rulers. Orwell identifies three important factors necessary for totalitarianism to be successful: War, advanced technology, and a psychological surrender of individuals. The first two, war and technology, are both already very prevalent in our society. The third is what safeguards democracy, freedom, and individualism. Totalitarianism is not possible if it does not control the psychological consciousness of the people it attempts to rule. Therefore, George Orwell's most relevant warning in his novel, 1984, is that if we allow ourselves and our society to psychologically surrender our own personal thoughts, feelings, values and memories, we will inevitably become vulnerable to totalitarian governments."

Abstract
The writer of this article states that post-9/11 America is an uncomfortably appropriate time to be taking a look at literature like George Orwell's '1984'. Given the current political climate of the United States, the writer notes that Orwell's dark, repressive world hits close to home. Not only does the power of language exist within the pages of Orwell's fictitious dystopia, but the writer points out that there is increasing evidence that the American government is attempting to control and manipulate the masses by hijacking the common language. The writer concludes that with the current war in the Middle East and the actions of the American government smacking uncomfortably like the policies and actions of those in Oceana, now is the time to revisit 1984 and take a good, hard look at what is going on.
From the Paper
"However, it is the people that offer the control by using the language that is given to them in the first place. Though this is a sound theory, and can, unfortunately, be seen in practice all over the world, the weakness in language that allows this to occur, is ironically the same as the strength that will keep it from taking over completely and pushing society over the edge into the kind of system that is presented in 1984."
"When the year 1984 came and went without the gloomy socialist world of the novel 1984 coming to fruition, the Western world probably sighed a bit of relief. However, as Orwell points out in his appendix entry on Newspeak, the full implementation of Newspeak isn't actually scheduled to occur until around the year 2050. This gives the Western world another 66 years to worry about the predictive nature of Orwell's work. Though in the fictitious 1984, Newspeak was in wide usage already, it has taken until the 21st century to really begin to see this concept implemented in the real world."

From the Paper
"In reality, there are a number of similarities between Orwell's protagonist, Winston Smith and Hamlet himself. For example, according to Greenland, Rabkin, and Slusser (1987), "Orwell's novel offers an interesting interplay of our three assumptions. The seeing eye into Nineteen Eighty-Four's imagined future is Winston. He is in revolt against that future, and the direction of his revolt is clearly romantic" (9). In fact, Smith records his inner-most thoughts in a secretive and therefore "romantic" fashion, by maintaining a "secret diary" (that is not so secret after all) even though he knows that even possessing the blank journal is a violation of all that is holy in Oceania, and clearly recognizes the dangers involved in doing so. In fact, he even luxuriates over the cream-colored pages in his journal and caresses them at length before he sullies them with tawdry ink. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines Orwell's views and vision of man's future in his novel '1984'. The writer also considers the ways in which Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia inspired Orwell's work. Further, the writer also discusses what message Orwell was attempting to convey in the post World War II world.
From the Paper
"In his highly prophetic downbeat masterpiece George Orwell presents a vision of what the world might become. It is a startling prophecy considering that Orwell published his novel during the aftermath of World War II. Indeed, Orwell is highly influenced by both the Nazi Regime in Germany and the rise of the Soviet Union within world politics. As Orwell attempts to warn against the dangers of a totalitarian government, he envisions a bleak future for our world presenting readers with a nightmare of repressive and omnipotent government control. In creating ... "

Abstract
This paper reviews the book '1984' by George Orwell. The paper takes a look at the current events and history of that time in which the book was written and discusses how the events that take place in the book, correlate to real life occurrences. The paper further discusses how the situation of the time influences Orwell's characters.
From the Paper
"Clearly, this echoes Stalin's purges of the 1930s where perhaps millions of individuals were arrested, imprisoned and forced to confess to crimes that they may or may not have committed. Soviet citizens were watched constantly and the smallest accusation could result in being put on trial. The only thing that the Soviet Union wasn't capable of doing was actually seeing inside people's heads. As it was, the government simply assumed that the people were guilty of crimes against the state. The purges were driven by Stalin's paranoia and fear of dissension. The same could be said of Oceania where any small disturbance could become larger and threaten the integrity of the state. Everything had to be under the control of the central government."

Abstract
The different historical events that took place during George Orwell's time and how they related to "Animal Farm". The paper discusses how the novel is an allegory of the personal and political turmoil that characterized Orwell's life.
From the Paper
"Many authors are influenced by the society and culture that surrounds them. This was the case with George Orwell in many of his novels. Most of his novels were shaped around his life?s events and narrated what he had done in certain situations. Animal Farm is unique in the sense that it relates more to the author?s perspective of things. As an allegory of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath, Orwell designed this novel and its characters around the events of his day."

Split Identities in Orwell and Isherwood, 1999.
A comparative analysis of the theme of identity conflict in George Orwell's "Such, Such Were the Joys" and Isherwood's "Goodbye to Berlin".

Abstract
This paper is a comparative analysis that examines how the autobiographical writing of George Orwell and Christopher Isherwood expresses identity conflicts and anger against social oppression. Orwell's essay "Such, Such Were the Joys," explores the violent fragmentation of identity caused by the rise of fascism in Europe, whereas Isherwood's "Goodbye to Berlin" concentrates on how the social taboo against homosexuality required him to lead a double life.
From the Paper
"A critical analysis of Goodbye to Berlin and "Such, Such Were the Joys," suggests that Isherwood and Orwell share similar perspectives concerning the psychological damage that their society has inflicted, because both writers manifest a radical division between public and private identities. Eric Blair, the non-entity, the perpetual victim of circumstances, the inveterate failure, the ugly child ensnared in an institution of class tyranny at Crossgates boarding school, is the private identity from whom the celebrated writer, George Orwell, emerged. In this circumstance, writing empowered Orwell to negotiate, and to elucidate, for both himself and for his readers, the self-division which his traumatic childhood experiences had wrought. "
