However, the most ideal theory for how Big Brother came to an end is that the middle class, also known as the Outer Party, overthrew the government themselves and took over the power. Goldstein describes how Big Brother came to power and holds control of it; he explains which possibility for the downfall of a government is the most accurate. The book also discusses the geographic division of the world in between three major regions: Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia. Goldstein argues that “each of the three powers… is in fact unconquerable, and could only become conquerable through slow demographic changes which a government with wide powers can easily avert” (pg 207). Therefore it is assumed that Big Brother’s downfall could not have happened because of a more powerful government took over, since all three nations are equal in power and cannot take over the other.
In 1984, the government refuses to allow the public their own memories and changes memories in order to have complete control over society. Winston was one of the only members of his society who remembered the true past and was not loyal to Big Brother. Nearly everyone else in society believed whatever they were told by the Party because they possessed no memories of the past. The members of the Outer Party willingly accepted everything Big Brother said and obeyed him unhesitatingly. The Party replaces and manipulates the memories of Oceania’s citizens in order to remain in absolute power.
He considers himself “superman”, above the human race, beyond the society he lives in. He feels no human connection to his surroundings. The setting of the Raskolnikov’s also places a negative influence, doesn’t allow him to think positively. In the beginning of the story, Raskolnikov formulates and executes a plan to kill an mean pawnbroker, who just sits on all this wealth while there are so many needy around her. He performs the perfect crime with no witnesses and any evidences.
This is ironic because if in this society, if a war broke out, it would be the government and the officials who would pay the price, but in 1984, it is the citizens that are paying the price. It is also symbolic because it proves how effectively the government have manipulated the citizens. Even with the bombs dropping, the citizens know that they have no power and do not even make an effort to complain. Also, Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford were leaders of the Revolution are both symbolic and Ironic because they act as a last hope against Big Brother and they were once leaders, but became total opposite, which is an
There is a threatening military presence at polling places, including the presence of riot troops, security police and defense forces. There is no free media, newspapers for the opposition are shut down and TV stations are fine for selling time to the opposition. No transportation is provided and people are even pulled from their cars and threatened to have their licenses revoked. Tally sheets are fabricated, and “ghost voters” are added. Ballots are burned so there cannot be a recount.
What would happen if a society was under a dictatorship, which grants no freedom or rights for citizens? Individualism is not accepted under the control of totalitarian government. This issue is clearly represented through symbols in the novel 1984 by George Orwell, such as, Winston’s varicose ulcer, Big Brother’s existence, and the equation “2 + 2 = 5.” Therefore, the total control of the Oceania government covers all aspects of life. The theme of the novel can be linked directly to the image of Winston’s varicose ulcer above the right ankle, which indicates Winston’s demand and the Party’s obsession of thought-controlling. Another allusive symbol that Orwell aims to create is Big Brother, who is considered as a tool to usurp the supreme power by the Inner Party.
1984 is a book about the future state of the world in which, “Big Brother,” watches and regulates everything that people believe and do. Winston Smith is a citizen in Oceania and a member of the Outer Party, he is responsible for changing historical documents to agree with the ideals of the party. Winston eventually realizes his hatred for the Party and starts having “thinkcrimes.” George Orwell’s 1984, is a haunting dystopian look into what the future could turn into. I believe Orwell is trying to warn society of the dangers of technology. For example the “Big Brother,” is able to control and hear what people are saying at all times with the “telescreen,” a screen where members of the Party are able to hear what you say and talk to you through it.
But when the attorney general arbitrarily changes the law to suit the demands of the people when they are weeping, it fundamentally undermines our freedoms. And a pact with the devil is the most dangerous of all, because his appetite can never be
The Tea Party movement believes no American President, Democrat, nor Republican should ever go beyond the Constitution, regardless of the issue at hand. Neither person nor issue can ever precede the Constitution, because it is the basis of the American people and their rights. They claim the government has become too powerful, and have lost connection with the American people that they are supposed to represent. Ideologically, the Tea Party movement believes in complete freedom and individual rights because freedom is what this country is based upon, and without freedom our country is restricted and American people and society as a whole will not be able to grow. They have received hateful ridicule from many socialists and leftists but the Tea Party has stood their post and will not stop despite any criticism.
Since this is a tyrannical government, the citizens have no choice but to go outside. This backfired for the government because Montag created chaos and was never caught! In Farenheit 451, books
