Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell

George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four is one of the most influential and haunting works of 20th-century literature. Published in 1949, the novel presents a grim vision of a future society ruled by totalitarianism, where government control permeates every aspect of life, from language to thought. Orwell’s exploration of power, oppression, surveillance, and truth resonates deeply today, making the novel timeless in its relevance.

The Setting: A World Under Totalitarian Rule

*1984* is set in Airstrip One (formerly Britain), a province of the Party-controlled superstate of Oceania. The society is dominated by the ruling figure known as Big Brother, a symbol of omnipresent surveillance and control. Though Big Brother’s actual existence is ambiguous, his image—on posters, coins, and telescreens—remains ever-present, reminding the populace that they are always being watched. The Party, led by the mysterious and feared figure of Big Brother, maintains an iron grip on the people, using fear, manipulation, and violence to keep them in line.

The novel's protagonist, Winston Smith, lives in a world where privacy is nonexistent, independent thought is forbidden, and truth is constantly rewritten to suit the Party’s needs. The Party's control over the citizens is not just physical but psychological, shaping how they think, what they believe, and even what they perceive as reality.

Themes of Totalitarianism and Power

One of the most striking aspects of *Nineteen Eighty-Four* is its exploration of totalitarianism. Orwell’s dystopia is a vision of a society where all aspects of life are tightly controlled, not merely by force but by manipulation of truth and language. The Party enforces its ideology through a variety of mechanisms, including the Thought Police, who punish any form of dissent, and Newspeak, a language designed to eliminate the possibility of subversive thoughts. The famous slogan of the Party, “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength,” encapsulates the paradoxical nature of totalitarian ideology: the more oppressive the regime, the more it insists that its actions are justified and beneficial.

Orwell was deeply concerned with the way in which power can warp truth. Under the Party’s rule, history is continuously rewritten to fit the present political narrative. What Winston experiences as the past is constantly altered in the Ministry of Truth, where he works as a records clerk. This distortion of reality is perhaps the novel's most chilling aspect, as it illustrates the terrifying power of the state to shape not just the present, but the very memories and understandings of the past.

Surveillance and the Loss of Privacy

A key feature of Orwell's dystopia is the ubiquitous surveillance system. In the world of *1984*, citizens are under constant watch by the Party. Telescreens—devices that broadcast propaganda while simultaneously monitoring the inhabitants—ensure that no one can escape scrutiny. The phrase "Big Brother is watching you" is not just a warning but a fundamental aspect of daily life. Even private thoughts are not safe, as the Thought Police can detect and punish “thoughtcrimes.”

The novel’s emphasis on surveillance as a means of control feels eerily prescient in our own era, where technology has advanced to a point where surveillance is increasingly pervasive. Orwell's depiction of a society where privacy is nonexistent and even the inner workings of the mind are subject to regulation is a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked state power in the digital age.

Language and Thought Control: Newspeak

In *Nineteen Eighty-Four*, Orwell introduces the concept of Newspeak, a language constructed to eliminate the possibility of rebellious or subversive thoughts. The Party understands that if people can think freely, they might resist its control. So, Newspeak is engineered to reduce the range of thought. Words that could express dissent are eliminated, and the vocabulary itself becomes smaller and simpler, making it impossible for people to articulate ideas that could challenge the Party’s rule.

Newspeak is a particularly insidious form of control because it changes how people perceive the world. Language is tied to thought, and by limiting the language available, the Party reduces the scope of what individuals can think, making it harder to even conceive of rebellion or resistance. In Orwell’s dystopia, controlling language is the most effective way to control minds.

Winston Smith: The Rebel and the Tragic Hero

Winston Smith, the novel's protagonist, is a low-ranking member of the Party who secretly harbors thoughts of rebellion against the oppressive regime. He begins an illicit love affair with Julia, a co-worker, and the two engage in acts of defiance, including reading forbidden books and discussing the idea of revolution. For Winston, this rebellion is a desperate attempt to reclaim his humanity and to experience the freedom of independent thought.

However, Winston’s journey ultimately reveals the profound strength of the Party’s control. He is captured by the Thought Police, tortured, and brainwashed until he is reduced to a shell of his former self. The psychological and physical torture Winston endures in the Ministry of Love, particularly his experiences with O'Brien, a high-ranking Party member who pretends to be an ally, underscores the extent to which the Party seeks to break not just the body, but the mind. By the end of the novel, Winston is forced to betray Julia, and he accepts the Party’s version of reality, demonstrating the total victory of totalitarianism over the human spirit.

The Relevance of *1984* Today

Though Orwell wrote *Nineteen Eighty-Four* in response to the rise of totalitarian regimes in the mid-20th century—specifically Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany—the novel’s themes are strikingly relevant today. Issues of surveillance, censorship, the manipulation of truth, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few elites are still critical concerns in the modern world. Orwell's vision of a society where truth is malleable and the state controls every aspect of life speaks to the dangers of unchecked political power and the erosion of individual freedoms.

In recent years, discussions around the erosion of privacy, government surveillance programs, and the manipulation of information through social media have led many to draw comparisons between Orwell’s dystopia and contemporary society. Concepts such as “fake news,” the rise of populist authoritarianism, and the spread of misinformation are troubling echoes of the kind of totalitarian control Orwell warned about.

Conclusion: The Power of *1984* as a Warning

*1984* is more than just a bleak vision of the future; it is a warning. Orwell’s novel cautions against the dangers of unchecked government power, the manipulation of truth, and the loss of individual freedoms. Through its exploration of language, surveillance, and the destruction of personal autonomy, *Nineteen Eighty-Four* forces readers to confront the fragility of truth and the potential consequences of political systems that prioritize control over freedom.

In the end, Winston Smith’s tragic fate serves as a sobering reminder of what can happen when a society loses its ability to think critically and independently. Orwell’s novel continues to challenge us to defend truth, protect our freedoms, and remain vigilant against the dangers of tyranny, whether overt or subtle, that may arise in any form or era.

*1984* is not just a story of a dystopian future; it is a mirror that reflects our own time, urging us to never forget the value of liberty, the importance of truth, and the necessity of questioning power.

T. H. O. M. A. S. for the alphabet ask meme please :3

Ooooh thanks ! When i saw thisi was wearing my cosplay of thomas XD

T - Do you have any hard andfast headcanons that you will die defending? 

It’s kinda hard because while i havestrong interpretations, aus, crossover, theories and analysis  iwould die for, my hc aren’t as important… So I don’t know how tocall this but it’s the first thing i thought of :

We know that photon mode destroyphysical health, because it allows to have the power of numberswithout being possessed. And it’s most likely that the more numberskaito has, the worst his health get.

Now how do the arclights’ crest work ?I would say the same, but since it’s magic and not science it doesn’tdestroy the body but the soul. A clear exemple of that is when Mihaelgets even more power and a numbers, while turning violent in his duelagainst Yuma.

And I counted. Thomas retrieved around20 numbers, at least as much as Kaito, maybe more…

H - What is your favorite sourcetext for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Westernanimation, etc.)?

I have a hard time with live action,and reading can sometimes be complicated for me, so drawn medias arethe best (comics book, mangas, animation, video games…).

Overall I think my favorite are animes,i love taking screenshot of scene frame by frame to analyze itprecisely.

O - Choose a song at random.Which ship or character does it remind you of?

This one is really hard because i havea lot of songs i relate to characters/ship but most of the time Ican’t really talk about it.

Thankfully my mp3 quickly gave meDreamless Dreams and this song is totally about Saiou.

It’s a very lonely person talking abouttheir fear of the future, of other people, and there’s some linesabout magic… Also there’s bits of love and destinyshipping thatmakes my heart melt ♥

The three parts that are the mostrelated to him must be :

« I wonder how living is, becauseliving humans are scary. »

« Is it okay if I’m such agood-for nothing ? Could I still receive some tender love ?

Is a hopeless human like me able totalk about dreams ? »

« This is just the stupidmonologue from someone who didn’t choose being alone. »

And for even more destinyshipping,there’s another song by the same voca-p, Tender rain, that is totallyfrom Edo’s point of view >w

M - Name a character that you’dlike to have for a friend.

Definetely Ryo ! Or even Bakura !I absolutely love trpg and they both seem so good at it I would loveplaying with them so much. I don’t like board rpgs, but a call ofcthulhu session with them should be incredible fun.

A - Ships that you currentlylike a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone hasOTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

For anyone that hasn’t noticed already,destiny has taken over my life for some months by now. I wonder ifthere have been a single day where I haven’t thought about it atleast a bit. Thankfully a friend also love it so I have someone totalk to when im overwhelmed with how awesome this ship is.

Also i might add this… strangecrackship/threesome/idk how to call it with edo/kaiser/saiou.Basically Saiou and edo are dating, but saiou is ace and edo isn’t sohe has sex with Kaiser while not romantically loving him, but kaiserstill live with them and him and saiou becomes very good friends.

S - Show us an example of yourpersonal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

I talked a lot about zexal and gx, solet’s go with arc v for this (and Sora because i love sora) :

-Sora eats lot of candies to have theenergy needed as a soldier. It’s also a way for him to keep his calmwhen stressed or sad.

-he likes sewing and make lots oflittle stuffed toys with old clothes. In academia he wasn’t supposed to do so,so he was hiding it, but after arc v he starts offering them toeveryone around him.

-he’s aro and didn’t know aboutromantic relationships til yuya and yuzu started dating someone. He’skinda afraid of their friendship meaning less once they settle withtheir romantic partner, but it never happens ♥

-when he bakes, he never follow anyrecipe. He just put what he thinks would taste good together, and italways end great but very sugary.

-There isn’t any christmas at academiaso once he starts living at standard he is incredibly excited to havea christmas party while having no idea of how it works.

-he gets very angry very easily whenplaying video games (because he takes it so seriously).

-with yuzu and yuya, he made a list ofthings he never did (like going to an attraction parc or watchingfireworks) and every week end they do one of it.

Updates

Hey guys ! I just wanted to offer some updates on things happening soon and plans I'm working on.

This weekend, I'll be hosting a vocaloid concert at Yama Con 2023 in Pigeon Forge, TN under the title Voca Live Party. It'll feature the crypton vocaloids as well as Gumi, Gackpo and Piko. Sorry it's such short notice, but if you're going to the convention or are in the area, consider stopping by on friday from 8:30pm - 10:00pm ! I'll probably try to post some clips on here afterwards. I'm excited for it, because I got a new screen that i'm hoping will really improve visibility.

At the above mentioned convention, i'll be running a booth to advertise the concert, where all sales go towards future concert endeavors. (equipment, maybe motion capture commissions if i'm lucky) This includes four charms I reblogged earlier, which will be for sale online in limited quantity sometime late january.

After the convention, i'll be uploading a hologram ready version of the concert as well! I don't know if i'm going to premier it or just drop it suddenly, but we will see.

The Piko models were suppose to come out in time for his anniversary, they probably won't be able to be released until later December. I've only finished prepping half of them, and I'd like to post a video with the distribution.

I'm currently in the process of doing a smaller concert for ABC Winterfest Remix in Southaven, MS on January 13th. Details are still being worked out.

The Piko Live Party encore is still in development. It will feature the two songs left out of PLP2, as well as a few others if time permits. My goal was to release it on the anniversary of PLP1, which was March 13th, 2021. However since that's the middle of the week, i'll probably aim for the weekend before or after.

And that's all ! Sorry for the long post
