In George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, the society is governed by a totalitarian regime led by Big Brother. The Party exerts complete control over every aspect of citizens' lives, from their thoughts to their actions. The novel introduces a world where censorship, surveillance, and propaganda are pervasive. The protagonist, Winston Smith, navigates a society where individual freedom is sacrificed in favor of collective conformity. Orwell employs stark language, repetition, and persuasive rhetoric to emphasize the regime's power and the citizens’ helplessness. Phrases like 'Big Brother is watching you' symbolize the constant surveillance and loss of privacy. The novel depicts a world where language itself is manipulated to limit thought—newspeak reduces the range of expression, reinforcing ideological control. This setting serves as a warning about the dangers of unchecked governmental power and the importance of free thought.
