in 1984, control, as a theme, is what we see the most. We
see word power, cameras, prisoners, and tele-screens
enforcing laws everywhere. This is a key to the novel
because Winston is trying to overthrow the Party and he
needs a lot in order to overthrow it.
Suffering
In the novel, the major glance at suffering is Winston's
mother. She went through hardships with him, even
though we know of prisoners who have a hard life.
Mystery
Mystery is a key in the novel. O' Brien, Julia, and the Party
are the major representations of mystery.
Love
There is a major glance at love
when we see Winston and Julia.
We see love also in Winston and
his mother even though he
caused her death, or so does he
think.
Dulce Et Decorum Est
This poem gives a lot of
imagery. Strong images
and they can relate to
1984 because people are
living in a gruesome
society that tries to be
perfect but the only thing
that wants to be perfect is
the government itself. The
images seem the same, of
war and of this dystopia.
If...
Rudyard Kipling really takes
on what could happen with
an "if," and "then" poem
and this could be taken into
the novel to kind of
hypothesize what the Party
is up to.
Civil Disobedience
Civil disobedience
emphasizes in the
refusal of obeying laws.
The society in 1984 is so
under control that they
don't even have the
need of this. The party is
focused on how they can
prevent this and
overlook everyone in
case there is a attempt
of something.
Word Power
If you take out words of a
dictionary, people will
begin to have less feelings
and won't have a way of
expressing themselves
causing major
catastrophes of control.
The party tries to do this
so they can gain even
more control of the
society in the book 1984.
How will they know what
something is when they
feel it?
