I chose to read 1984 because I’ve read a few of George Orwell’s essays and they all had a powerful meaning to them and were also very well written. I was

Of course the main character in 1984 is thirty nine year old Winston Smith. He could be described as thin, frail, thoughtful, and intellectual. This novel is about Winston’s experiences with the Party that he dislikes so much and that doesn’t allow any freedom. Winston is used to show how the totalitarian government control is harsh and oppressive toward the people. A quote from the book in which Winston talks about the Party is as follows, “this Party’s rules are absurd, I’m writing in my diary even if it is illegal”. This quote reveals Winston’s thoughts of the Party and how their rules are strict because they don’t want anyone thinking bad thoughts of the Party.

O’Brien is another character within this novel who is a mysterious, cruel, powerful, and sophisticated member of the Inner Party who Winston believes is also a member of the Brotherhood, the legendary group of anti-Party rebels. When O’Brien is ready to torture Winston with rats that will eat his face he says, “You’ve already lost Julia and now you will lose yourself”. This shows how cruel O’Brien is and he represents the Party well. This character is believable because there are spies and cruel people in the world.

This book takes place in the city of London, England. The environment is described within the city as confused with the Party’s thoughts and ideas on ruling the area. People seem to be living in fear of saying or thinking anything bad about the Party or they will be tortured such as Winston was. The setting is very important to the novel because it gives you an idea of where this story is taking place and what they characters might sound and look like.
