Orwell uses symbolism and motifs to illustrate the ideology and perils of dictatorship, propaganda, and censorship. Orwell illustrates how manipulation and control may limit one's individuality and freedom through the irony of doublethink. Big Brother's premise implies a tyrannical presence over the country rather than merely Oceania's leader.

The totalitarian superstate Oceania, which serves as the scenario for George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, speaks Newspeak. In the story, Newspeak was developed by the Party to conform to Ingsoc's demands in Oceania.

Only a few years after World War II's conclusion, in the years 1947–1948, the novel "1984" was written. George Orwell was motivated to think about the precariousness of popular rule by this fight of enormous proportions, the resolution of which was crucial to the survival of democracy.

While the novel's historical backdrop is significant, its ongoing significance seventy years after it was written may be even more so. The book has been read and loved by readers worldwide in 65 different languages. This highlights the persistent worry in modern society that George Orwell's dystopian vision of a world run by its own technology—capable of monitoring and detaining its population at any time, and killing without repercussions—is a reality.

Doublethink is a mind-control technique in which people concurrently hold two opposing beliefs and act as though they are both true. The terminology used by Orwell throughout 1984 serves as an example of doublethink. The Party use this tactic to persuade its constituents to support it.

Information that is utilized to advocate a particular point of view is known as propaganda and is often slanted. The Party is in charge of and in charge of manipulating the loyalty of the people of Oceania through the use of telescreens, slogans, and other forms of propaganda. Unbeknownst to themselves, the populace loses their capacity for independent thought and transitions to a society characterized by devotion and patriotism. The Party employs posters of Big Brother as a patriotic emblem, much as the Uncle Sam poster from World War I, which is a standard piece of propaganda used by the United States.

In a near-future London, Winston Smith, the protagonist and a minor member of the ruling Party, is a skinny, fragile, reflective, intelligent, and fatalistic 39-year-old man. The harsh repression and dictatorial control that characterize Winston's government are abhorrent to him. He has revolutionary aspirations.

Winston's key characteristics, aside from his thoughtfulness, are his rebelliousness and his fatalism. Winston has a ferocious hatred for the Party and desires to push the boundaries of its authority.

His sense of frugality is one factor that led to Winston's rebellion and final collapse.

Winston's girlfriend Julia is the only other person he knows equally despises the Party and yearns to rebel against it. Julia is sensual, practical, and generally satisfied to live in the moment and make the most of her existence, in contrast to Winston, who is restless, fatalistic, and concerned with significant social concerns.

Winston is more interested with having sex and coming up with realistic ways to escape being discovered by the Party than he is with joining the Brotherhood and reading the abstract manifesto of Emmanuel Goldstein.

Because of his fatalistic outlook, Winston essentially regards their relationship as a passing phase. He cannot foresee it continuing for very long.

Big Brother is the head of the Party, the ultimate dictator of Oceania, a decorated war hero, a brilliant scientist and philosopher, and the original motivator of the uprising that established the Party's reign. The Party manipulates the public's sense of allegiance and terror by portraying itself as Big Brother.

In actuality, Winston's work includes editing previous articles to update quotes from Big Brother to reflect what he says today. Big Brother is only a convenience that works with the Party's current objectives.

Despite playing a very important role in society, Big Brother is never mentioned in the book. Winston never engages in any interaction with Big Brother, and in the one scene during the Two Minutes Hate in which Big Brother speaks, not only is the reader not informed what he says, but Winston also notices that no one in the room pays attention to what he says.

Mr. Charrington is a widower and the proprietor of a thrift store in London's prole neighborhood. The only other prole Winston interacts with in any real way is him. About 60 years old, feeble and bowed, with white hair and bushy black eyebrows, Mr. Charrington is characterized.

Mr. Charrington can share Winston's passion in the past and educate him about London's history. He offers a number of crucial materials that help Winston commit his many crimes against the Party. Mr. Charrington sells Winston the blank journal that he uses to keep a diary as well as the glass paperweight that represents his ties to a real past untainted by Party propaganda. Additionally, Mr. Charrington rents Winston the space where Winston and Julia conduct the majority of their sexual activity.

When Winston and the reader discover that Mr. Charrington is a member of the Thought Police around two-thirds of the way through the book, their opinions of him—like those of O'Brien—must be revised. All of Mr. Charrington's encounters with Winston change in significance in the wake of this information. Despite what we've been led to believe, Mr. Charrington was never an admirer of the past who could relate to Winston's spirit of rebellion. He was actually working as a cunning Party operative, setting traps to see how far Winston would go.

The way in which Orwell conceals an obvious depiction of a totalitarian society in 1984 is one of its most intriguing features. Winston Smith's personal life is extensively detailed in Orwell's book, but the reader only gets a peek of Party life when Winston does.

As a result, many of the Party's internal workings, as well as its beginnings and the names and reasons behind its leaders, are still unknown. The character of O'Brien, a strong Inner Party member who dupes Winston into thinking he is a member of the revolutionary group known as the Brotherhood, serves as the focal point of this sense of mystery.

O'Brien doesn't appear to be growing as a character throughout the book; in fact, by the end of it, the reader is significantly less familiar with him than they had been.

During the Two Minutes Hate at the start of the book, Emmanuel Goldstein is revealed as the Enemy of the People. He was previously a significant Party member but later turned traitor. Despite having received a death sentence, he managed to escape and found the Brotherhood, a group of organized rebels dedicated to overthrowing the Party and its way of life.

Goldstein, like Big Brother, is probably not a real person; instead, the Party is using him as a propaganda weapon to incite the public' emotions. In order to maintain order and quell unrest, the Party employs Goldstein as a menacing but ill-defined monster. The Party has a foe in Goldstein, just as they do with Eastasia and Eurasia. The activities of the Party that harm the public can be attributed to either terrorist assaults by Goldstein's adherents or to essential security measures to stop additional attacks.

George Orwell's dystopian book 1984, published in 1949, is about Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of "the Party," who is irritated by the party's pervasive eyes and its menacing leader Big Brother.

Winston Smith, the main character, starts a quiet rebellion against the party by recording his private thoughts in a journal, which is a lethal thoughtcrime. He starts a predestined battle for justice and freedom with his sweetheart Julia in a society where no one else seems to notice or object to the injustice the protagonist resists.

The idea that a totalitarian state might easily dominate the entire country is one of 1984's most potent, persuasive, and terrifying ideas. The future might easily turn into a twisted, cruel place where every action, every word, and every breath are watched over by an all-powerful, all-present force that no one can resist or even oppose without the threat of death. The novella by George Orwell serves as a warning to humanity. It emphasizes how crucial it is to fight back against oppression and mass domination.

The entire plot of the book is set in a fictionalized London at an unknown point in the future. In the book, London serves as the provincial capital of Airstrip One, which is a country in Oceania. The Americas, the Atlantic islands, which include the British Isles, Australasia, and the southern part of Africa make up one of the three great powers known as Oceania.

Eastasia, which includes China, Japan, and portions of Manchuria, Mongolia, and Tibet, and Eurasia, which includes the northern portion of the European and Asian landmass from Portugal to the Bering Strait, are the other two global powers. Although we might infer from the title that the book takes place in the year 1984, we can never be certain of this. Winston does not know the year and only has a hunch that it is 1984 because of how the Ingsoc Party manipulates and rewrites history.

Three separate social groups make up the city of London. The Inner Party has access to servants and lives in a comparatively comfortable environment. Winston is a member of the Outer Party, who has no control over their personal space or property and lives in harsh, decaying conditions. The proles, who make up the lowest socioeconomic class, reside in unkempt slums where the Party makes few attempts to exercise authority yet offers neither support nor opportunity.

Four enormous megastructures that stand in for the Party's four ministries dominate the metropolis. The names of these divisions are purposefully deceptive and, in reality, represent the exact opposite of what each office does. Law and punishment are handled by the Ministry of Love, while conflict is governed by the Ministry of Peace, rationing is overseen by the Ministry of Plenty, and propaganda is created by the Ministry of Truth. St. Clement's Church is among the few relics of George Orwell's real-life London that are mentioned, but only as recollections of a bygone period and crumbling ruins.

The Telescreen, a two-way television that shows Party members a continuous stream of propaganda while also giving the Thought Police a chance to observe everyone in the city, is perhaps the most famous feature of the 1984 world. Telescreens are connected with the proverb "Big Brother is watching you," representing Big Brother's all-seeing eye both symbolically and practically.

Winston is employed by the Ministry of Truth, where he tampers with the course of history to suit the Party's interests. He sees a stunning dark-haired coworker staring at him and fears that she is an informant who will report him for his thoughtcrime. The Party's grip over history worries him; according to the Party, Oceania has always sided with Eastasia in a conflict with Eurasia, but Winston seems to remember a period when this was not the case.

Orwell explains how language can be used politically to deceive and manipulate people in his work by illustrating the constant abuse of language by the government and the media. This leads to a society in which the people mindlessly obey their government and accept all propaganda as fact.

The Ministry of Truth, which focused on journalism, entertainment, education, and the fine arts, is an example of doublethink in the names of the Ministries in 1984. The Ministry of Peace, which was focused on conflict. The Ministry of Love, which upheld the rule of law. Additionally, there was the Ministry of Plenty, in charge of economic matters. Minitrue, Minipax, Miniluv, and Miniplenty are their Newspeak names.

The book "1984" is a political statement. It is merely a caution to humanity; it makes no prophecy. Big Brother would not have taken control of the world 35 years after Orwell's book was published, but he frequently warned that it might happen if people did not become conscious of the threats to their personal freedom and stand up for their most valuable freedom—the right to their own opinions.

More than a commitment to the government, loyalty is to the Party. In 1984, the populace must be completely obedient to the Party. The totalitarian state cannot flourish without submissive behavior and unquestioning submission. More than any other bond, even that between a father and child, loyalty inside the Party is ingrained.

Winston one day gets a "I love you" note from the girl with the dark hair. She introduces herself as Julia and they start a secret relationship while constantly on the lookout for signs of Party surveillance. They eventually rent a space above the thrift shop where Winston purchased the diaries in the shantytown. This connection endures for a while.

In Orwell's authoritarian society, Big Brother is given a lot of attention. But because no one has ever seen the Party's face, when his existence is revealed, dread grips the entire country. Big Brother's terror of its residents runs deep, as stated in the text, "...the visage of Big Brother seemed to stay for several seconds on the screen, as though the imprint that it had had on everyone's eyeballs was too vivid to wear off instantly." Big Brother is a representation of authority, the government, and total social subjugation.

Winston discovers that O'Brien is also a Party spy after being separated from Julia and transported to a location known as the Ministry of Love. O'Brien merely appeared to be a Brotherhood member in order to trick Winston into openly rebelling against the Party. Winston fights against O'Brien's torture and brainwashing for months. Finally, O'Brien sends him to Room 101, the terrible place where anybody who disagrees with the Party goes to die. Winston is informed by O'Brien that he must now face his darkest phobia.
