The story of 1984 is an interesting piece of writing circling around the idea of a totalitarian government. A totalitarian government is a when they want to control everyone’s thoughts, feelings, and control every aspect of your life. The setting of the story is in London a depressed, broken down and dirty version of London, where the government “Big Brother” is constantly watching the citizens and ensuring power over everyone. One form is of this is the “Thought Police” who is one form of surveillance in the book and have hidden cameras and microphones all over to over hear everyone’s conversations in case some one said something against Big Brother. Our protagonist is Winston Smith who is a character who slowly develops a rebellion against Big Brother, the rebellion starts slow, but grow to out of control manners. First with a constant watch over them by Big Brother and the Thought Police, it was a difficult mission and ends up finding out a worker named Julia is the same as him, when she slips him a note saying, “I LOVE YOU.” Winston decides to make a movie and they end up being in a love affair and rent a hidden space in a secret location with no telescreen, no microphones, nothing, but a space of their own. Eventually this trues leading to a horrible end where, he visits O’Brain and believe he to be a member of the rebellion against the party as well, but is proven wrong and take to the Ministry of Love and is tortured to horrible extends. Winton is broken by the government and betrays Julia’s love but sending his torture to her. The governments ends up winning at the end of the book, and i find it was a interesting end where the antoganist wins over the protagonist and this totalitarian government stays as the world’s past, present and future. WAR IS PEACE…FREEDOM IS SLAVERY….IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
