Many critics of Orwell state that the main fear which surrounds this piece of literature is that of the ever growing fear of Stalinist Russia during the mid - 20th century, he is an author who despised the idea of totalitarianism and conformity in any shape or form ; such a communist society is presented clearly in 1984. Nevertheless, other frightful influences can be seen acknowledged by Orwell, providing us with the idea that Stalinist Russia was not his only fear for the future. When we examine the opinions and life of George Orwell, it is not so surprising that Stalinist Russia can be seen as his biggest fear for the world during the 19th century. It employs implements all ideas of a dictatorship and still manages to call itself a equal and self-righteous society, which is exactly what Orwell feels uneasy about as it treats the people as if they were cattle. This opinion is expressed within George Orwell's own letter (1944) as he talks of the "strengthening Stalin" and the idea that many countries during their time seemed to take a "non-democratic" form of government.
As he suggests to Hal, he wants to be “like a comet” to be seen on a rare basis to be “wondered at” by his subjects. This illegitimacy effects his reign as it causes instability within the royal court. This is seen from the very beginning of the play as Henry wants to “crusade the holy land” to find a common enemy within the court, to take the focus off him. This instability is on the of the main factors that starts the rebellion. Both Worcester and Northumberland had much power before Henry’s overthrow, but are now put into a position where they have very little.
Allusions convince and change the mind of men like the clergymen in this case. Using religious figures makes allusions that men of God would easily relate to. He makes a comparison to his actions to those of Socrates practicing civil disobedience in the quote, “To a degree, academic freedom is a reality today because Socrates practiced civil disobedience”(210). Another allusion is included about Adolf Hitler reign in Germany where “everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal”, ”to prove the point of what is “right and wrong” is in the eyes of the beholder (210). In most paragraphs he uses at least one allusion that the clergymen can compare his or their opinion to.

The lack of evidence convinced him that the movement’s leaders are SO good at hiding their communist links that surveillance of the movement and its sympathizers needs to be stepped up. The conclusion that he had reached by reading the negative findings was that this movement must be an even higher-level communist operation, involving even higher levels of trained KGB than even Hoover himself had imagined. Once again, the extent to which the Kennedy administration cooperated with Hoover’s crusade against movement in general, and King in particular is chilling2. In conclusion, Parting the Waters, like any good historical work, meticulously replaces myth with fact, page after page, chapter after chapter. Its chronological and top-down biographically based perspective puts the reader inside the civil rights movement, the US government, and J. Edgar Hoover’s head.
I especially enjoyed his analysis on the vigilantes and in particular the American Protective League (APL) which is a fairly significant picture of the state of affairs within our country and moreover, the lack of control the government had against the people. The “conspiracy theorist” inside of me has always believed in false flag terror, citizen spies and inside jobs and the existence of the APL was complete confirmation for me. While most would argue that these types of organizations couldn’t exist today, Kennedy opens the door to this type of behavior, which seems illegal in its very fibers. As discussed last week, this time period was rich with reform and political parties were eager to trump the other in any way possible. In Over Here, Kennedy touches on the elites pulling the strings behind the scenes spreading political influence and propaganda along the way.
It’s impossible.” (222). The reader recognizes that Holden is confined within walls of phoniness and corruption. The profanity written on the walls becomes too much for Holden. In a sense, he desires to eradicate all profanity, therefore protecting the innocence of children, but as Holden indicates, it’s nearly impossible. Unlike Holden in Catcher in the Rye, Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath concentrates society’s corruption on self-interested people.
They believe that you are the center of your religion, you live with vibrancy and luxury, if you want it, take it. They advocate for vengeance instead of turning the other cheek; pride and freedom to find out for yourself who you are and what your individual purpose in life is. Satanists are their own gods. LaVey says, in the Satanic Bible, “Man—using his brain—invented all the Gods, doing so because many of our species cannot accept or control their personal egos, feeling compelled to conjure up one or a multiplicity of characters who can act without hindrance or guilt upon whims and desires. All Gods are thus externalized forms, magnified projections of the true nature of their creators, personifying aspects of the universe or personal temperaments which many of their followers find to be troubling.
This quote sums up the general objective of Big Brother’s regime, ultimate control and unfaltering devotion. If citizens had their own memories, or disagreed with what they were told, they would realize how corrupt a society they were living in was and rebel against it. This is the case in Winston’s situation, he recognizes how corrupt the government is and can no longer stand to live monotonously in his society. The Party frequently changed the past to see who would
When there is no divine power present, the masses can’t help but forge the supreme beings examples of such may be the works, states, even dictatorships. In a case of such the direction is pointed at the religion of the “mass man” the present nations who sustain this sort of belief Syria, Cuba, and North Korea, nations who disperse of g-d and take on man as the supreme leader of the country (dictatorship) or make the leader g-d himself, demi-god to be more rational. Fanaticism, another aspect which tears man away from himself and makes mass-minded patriotic individual, a plain simple social unit with a filled excessiveness of belief, a single minded zeal. Religion is not a bad thing, regardless the different traditions and natures of all creeds and social groups. The directions religions points at aren’t all entirely spiritual, simply shown in equality matters of prosperity and freedoms for masses and states, the supportive state policies.
