    • 4 Pages

    One of the most famous of these authors is George Orwell‚ who draws from Hitler and Stalin’s government to try and construct an even extremer type of rule that would be a perfect panoptic society in his novel 1984. However‚ due to the holes in the structure of his created society in 1984‚ George Orwell fails to represent a perfect state of panopticism.

    • 4 Pages

    I just want to say that I felt that giving a speech would be better than making a video because there’s really no way that I can make 1984 funny. I would honestly classify George Orwell’s work as a horror novel. It doesn’t have the traditional horror elements like zombies or a haunted house. That kind of horror is child’s play. The horror in 1984 is the scariest kind because it almost seems plausible. The story revolves around a totalitarian society where the government is trying and succeeding to

    “Freedom is the right to tell people what they don’t want to hear‚” says George Orwell‚ writer of 1984. The Party has taken away the rights of the people to know the truth in order to maintain power. Although some would believe that the most central paradox in Orwell’s 1984 is the Party’s slogan “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength‚” it is clearly the act of doublethink because it’s the Party’s form of psychological control in order to maintain power. To demonstrate‚ it is the
