‘1984’ ends with Winston, the protagonist, successfully brainwashed and left with no thoughts of his own. This lack of hope is also present in the ending of ‘Brave New World’, where John hangs himself to escape from the dystopian society. Ultimately, the somewhat evil governmental powers in the two novels have overcome the challengers to their beliefs, this makes the reader feel a sense of defeat. Furthermore, both of these books were written before the age of technology and are both predictions of how the world could turn out in the future. The tragic endings to both of these novels, particularly ‘1984’ was controversial in the way that readers thought that it was a real possibility and that a dystopia caused by the state could actually occur.
Sung Beom Kwon 01-30-2015 UGC 211 American Pluralism Response paper 1 Fahrenheit 9/11 Watching the film Fahrenheit 9/11 made me think of corruption of government that I haven’t thought about before. I personally don’t have any interest in political matters since it never actually affected me, my family, or my friends. But watching this film reminded me of discussion I heard from my host family about 9/11. It has been years since I’ve heard this conversation and had a very low fluency in English at the time but I could still remember clearly that 9/11 might have been a scenario set up by U.S.A. and it was all to take over the oil reserves in Middle East. At the time I did not believe the story or more likely I didn’t care what the U.S. government was doing but the film got me by shock with so much evidence it presented and how corrupt a government official could be for their own self-interest.

No one can control this loss of freedom. People are born and rights and freedoms are instantly lost. Even though Aldous Huxley’s story, Brave New World and George Orwell’s story 1984 portrayed different predictions of what society could be in the future both stories shared a common loss of freedom of their people because of restrictions, the governments overstepping power, and brainwashing techniques. In both stories there was evidence of restrictions that lead to the loss of freedom of the people in their societies. One of the main pieces of evidence in George Orwell’s novel 1984 was the use of constant surveillance of their people with telescreens and spies.

There are several ways that this relationship can be improved to make this happen. Private and Public Police Private police are employed by private companies that pay to have their place of business protected from theft and other potential problems. Since they are employed by companies rather than the government, the burden is not put on the tax payers. Private police or private security has more resources than that of public law enforcement does financially. Private security or police are generally better educated and have access to more security equipment.
The term “detective” is one title a lot of law enforcement agencies use, in most cases they are referring to “Private Investigators”. Like police officers, detectives can carry a weapon on them with a permit. They are not always on the job to discover a crime that had occurred. But if a Detective/Private Investigator can prove a crime has occurred, they usually hand their information over to the police department so arrest can be made. On some cases, detectives specifically ivestigates details of a crime that had happened, usually after a case has gone “cold”.
Although Winston is the protagonist in 1984, Orwell does not describe him as the stereotypical hero. Instead, he is conveyed to be more of an anti-hero with features that include “a smallish, frail figure” as well as having “a varicose ulcer above his right ankle”. This image of a very weak human being is not something we as readers are accustomed to when imagining the hero of a novel and this unconventional description is Orwell way of portraying the fact that there are no more heroes in this dystopian future and those that do
In 1984 there is no such thing as privacy. Invasion of privacy is constantly shown throughout the book. Once again the main threat here are the telescreens, Orwell demonstrates this by giving a brief description of what these screens can attain, “any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it”(Orwell, pg.3). These screens indulge fear into the citizens of Ingsoc, so they best not act or do anything strange that can “harm the party”. Later on Winston goes to a barren area where no telescreens present however he goes on to say “there was always the danger of concealed microphones” (Orwell, pg.117).
In George Orwell’s 1984, there is a lack of information about the past before the totalitarianism government and how such a corrupt society was created. Though Winston remembers things such as Oceania changing enemies between Eurasia and Eastasia, he does not seem to remember a life before Big Brother, The Party and the Telescreen. Because everyone has been bombarded so much with the lie that Big Brother had always been in power and life had always been like this, it is hard for anyone, including Winston to believe otherwise. We are never really told how this society came about, which makes it even scarier for the reader. The fact that this regime came about so quickly,
