	Nineteen Eighty-Four - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The novel introduced the concepts of the ever-present, all-seeing Big Brother, the notorious Room 101, the ubiquitous thought police, and the bureaucrats' and politicians' language Newspeak.
		At the end of the novel there is an appendix on Newspeak (the artificial language invented and, by degrees, imposed by the Party to limit the capacity to express or even think "unorthodox" thoughts), in the style of an academic essay.
		In the novel, Winston recalls a point during the atomic wars of the 1950s when an atomic bomb was dropped on Colchester (presumably by Eurasian forces), provoking mass panic in civil-war-torn Britain.

	1984 by George Orwell: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
		In 1984, Winston Smith lives in London which is part of the country Oceania.
		In both ‘1984’ and ‘Fahrenheit 451,’ both the authors use their main character as a platform to show their views; essentially on society and the possibility of a dictatorial government if their power is abused, although these two protagonists exist in very different settings, both of which are highly controlled by the government.
		1984 can most definitely be interpreted as an incitement against communism; the Cold War ever-present at the time of writing; 1984 has a devastatingly dictatorial regime running, with the ‘Thought Police’ representing the brutal Nazi Gestapo Police with overruling power and an iron fist.

	1984: Analysis
		The action of this novel is built around the main person, Winston Smith, and therefore the understanding of his personality, and his character is important for the understanding of the whole book.
		In 1984 Winston often dreams of this time, and he often remembers how he once has stolen the whole chocolate, that was given to the family.
		In 1984, when Oldspeak is still the normal mean of communication, the danger theoretically exists that in using Newspeak words one might remember their original meanings.

	George Orwell's 1984
		1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever.
		1984 is still the great modern classic of "Negative Utopia"—a startingly original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing, from the first sentence to the last four words.
		No one can deny this novel's power, its hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

	1984 by George Orwell
		1984, written in 1948 and published in 1949, was intended as a warning against totalitarian tendencies rather than as a prophetic work.
		Now that the year 1984 has passed, many may scoff at the warning, but those who do would be wise to look at the present a bit more closely.
		If the themes of 1984 are studied in less complex literature, especially works dealing with actual historical events or fictional situations familiar to teenagers, students will be able to relate the happenings of 1984 to their own lives and their own futures.

		The novel races up to the climax, before its conclusion with an ending (and final line) that is among the most famous of any from the 20th Century.
		If you've never read 1984 and only heard it referenced, you need to read it because you may be surprised to see how similar its terms are to life in the modern, "free" world.
		The reason why I found "1984" such a terrifying novel is that "The Party's" mantra of Peace, Freedom, and Strength are not a rallying cry of revolution or inalienable rights in a constitution, but they serve as a necessary evil to keep humanity civilized in its daily existence as a society.

	Book Review of 1984.

		He was the literary editor of the Tribune, and contributed to the Observer and the Manchester Evening News.
		Far from being a caricature, it insightfully and skillfully characterizes the tendencies and motivations of unlimited government power, and the horrifying, hopeless result of such government: humanity denied its freedom to think, to be rational, and to dissent...its freedom to be human.
		You have just taken a step closer to respecting the importance of human freedom and dignity, and the dangers in allowing governments to usurp your freedom to dissent or be different.

		Under the rubric of "Second Thoughts on Love and Death in the American Novel," for instance, Fiedler characterized his famous text as "My First Gothic Novel" and proceeded to indicate the mythic reaches of his narrative madness, his sustained discourse on the American novel's gothic attributes.

	1984 Summary & Essays - George Orwell
		Published in 1948 and set thirty-six years in the future, 1984 is George Orwell’s dark vision of the future.
		Written while Orwell was dying and based on the work of the Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin, it is a chilling depiction of how the power of the state could come to dominate the lives of individuals through cultural conditioning.
		Perhaps the most powerful science fiction novel of the twentieth century, this apocalyptic satire shows with grim conviction how Winston Smith’s individual personality is wiped out and how he is recreated in the Party’s image until he does not just obey but even loves Big Brother.

		These novels, which began to flourish after World War I, imagine a nightmarish society where all that is ugly and perverse about human nature has prevailed, and people are powerless to resist an insidious, coercive order.
		In 1984, the insidious order is known as "Big Brother," a personification of the regime that both demands and ensures absolute loyalty and obedience from all of its citizens.
		Although 1984 is almost universally hailed as a landmark in twentieth century fiction, critics have been divided as to how we are to read it.

		1984 is such the classic that to this day people are referencing the story that haven't read the book.
		Perhaps less relevant as a prophecy today (1984 has come and gone and no dictatorship has arisen to consolidate the Americas and the United Kingdom into a single communist entity), 1984 remains a very real piece of culture, with its own voice in the way it challenges one's preconceived notions and ideals.
		My English teacher perhaps said it best, when comparing 1984 to Animal Farm: "Animal Farm hits you with gloves on; 1984 just smacks you bare-fisted." And it's no slap, no half-hearted jab; it is an in-your-face, force of a moving train blow to the jaw from which the reader reels for weeks, even months after.

		The story is set in London, in a nightmarish 1984 that for Orwell might well have been a possibility, writting as he was many years before that date.
		Or maybe, he was just trying to warn his contemporaries of the dangers of not opposing the Soviet threat, a threat that involved a new way of life that was in conflict with all that the English held dear.
		What sets "1984" apart from its famous sibling "Animal Farm", which by the way was also very depressing, is that it is not tailored to the history of the Communists.
