Orwell’s symbols are a way for him to indirectly express the characters’ feelings. Big Brother is a symbol that comes about early on in the novel and sticks with us till the end. The posters of a man staring at you with the words “Big Brother is Watching You” symbolize the Party. As Winston made his way to

is behind the idea. I chose the quote that Winston stated‚ “Big Brother is Watching You” on page 2 of Chapter 1. I like this quote because it briefly explains the antagonist in the story and tells the plot of the story. Big Brother is the antagonist in the story. He is the villain because to Winston he is pictured as a bad or evil character. 1984 is about a guy named Winston who hates the society he lives in.

As Orwell says in 1984‚ “Big Brother is watching you.” Ever since the creation of the Internet‚ more specifically the World Wide Web‚ the government has utilized Orwellian tactics of surveillance. “Many parts of the Internet are still kind of like the raw frontier and the Government

The people of Oceania are constantly under a state of surveillance
