1984 by George Orwell Summary

1984 by George Orwell is a perfect classic, and an engaging sophisticated novel, with a compelling and meaningful story describing humanity living within a totalitarian police state, omnipotent, omnipresent, and oppressive. George Orwell is the author of this wonderful book. Set in the nightmarish London of 1984 – we see life in a totalitarian state through the eyes of a single character, Winston Smith, who dares to stand up against the notorious – notorious in our world – Big Brother in his own ways, through little defiant acts, such as keeping a journal stating his disapproval with his world and the government, to sneaking off and having sex with a woman for pleasure which is looked down upon as sex is only seen as a necessary for procreation. In this world, Freedom was only attained through total obedience to the Party, and the love of Big Brother, who watched you at all times.

Winston works as a functionary of the Ministry of Truth where history is rewritten to favor the Party’s line summed up beautifully by the Party’s slogan “Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” A little at a time Winston begins to realize that things are not as they should be and that those things should be changed. This book is drowned in hopelessness, but it is something we all need to read and keep close to our hearts, because during these troubling times it is too easy to forget how easy it is to fall into the trap that leads to Socialism to Communism to Totalitarianism. With today’s technology, Big Brother is a real threat and with the Government growing larger and larger the world of 1984 can become our future – if we are not careful.
