Big Brother, the figurehead leader known only as Big Brother, has created a governing body simply called “The Party”. There job is to maintain a totalitarian control over the people within Oceania. Big Brother and Nineteen Eighty-Four are a re

Citizens in Nineteen Eighty-Four have no personal properties. All the people live in dull, old state owned flats, except for members of Inner Party, who lived in much nicer homes. The situation of people inhibiting Oceania is just like the situation of people inhibiting Russia. In Russia, Stalin confiscated land and established collective farms run by the state. By nineteen thirty-nine Stalin had virtually eliminated all private land. The collectivization meant misery for the thirty-five million peasant families. Collectivization ripped apart the fabric of village life, destroyed families, and sent homeless peasants into exile. Anything extrodonary was denied to the people of Oceania. Chocolate however was rationed out to the people on a rare occasion. This was similar to the way Russian, Italian, and German governments tried to reduce the amount of food available to eat per day in order to keep the war efforts going.

In 1984, family could not even be trusted. Anyone at anytime could turn one another in for whatever reason causing everyone to fend for themselves and only for themselves. Everyone was considered a spy for secret police. This is true in case of Germany. In nineteen thirty-nine, eighty-two percent of all Germans boys and girls between the ages of ten and eighteen were members of Nazi-controlled organizations. These organizations were designed to make these children a loyal party of Nazi, and so sometimes the children turned members of their family who were against the Nazi. Once a person living in Oceania was taken by the Secret Police it is believed by the others that they were simply vaporized. The people of Oceania were really unsure of what happened to someone taken by the Thought Police, except all were aware of Room 101. All totalitarian governments used forms of torture to treat the captured. Russia condemned all captured to a brutal life filled with daily tortures while jailed for life. Hitler created large concentration camps to house all who were Jewish or anyone who the Nazi officials felt might deserve to be in the camps. Italy had the squadristi killing of all the people considered enemies of the state. Orwell took all of these horrific actions and created Room 101. Room 101 was a combination of all the other government’s torture techniques and your worst nightmare.
