Scene Summary and Context
In George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, the figure of Big Brother embodies the oppressive surveillance state. The story is set in a totalitarian society where citizens are constantly watched and controlled. The Party propagates the idea that Big Brother is always watching, fostering fear and obedience among the populace. The novel describes how language and imagery are manipulated to maintain power, using slogans like 'Big Brother is Watching You.' A key scene depicts Winston, the protagonist, grappling with the omnipresence of Big Brother's image, which appears everywhere—on posters, telescreens, and even in his own mind. Orwell uses stark imagery and repetitive slogans to reinforce the omnipotence of Big Brother, symbolizing the loss of personal freedom and individuality in such a society. The phrase 'Power is in tearing human minds to pieces' exemplifies the destructive control the regime exerts over thoughts and feelings. This scene underscores the theme of surveillance and psychological control, illustrating how propaganda shapes reality and suppresses dissent.
