Nineteen Eighty-Four	comment	This is the book. One of the most horrifying and depressing codifiers for the Dystopian genre, ever, notwithstanding its now-outdated title.After reading Yevgeny Zamyatinâ€™s dystopian thriller We, George Orwell wrote Nineteen Eighty-Fournote Orwell always insisted that the title was properly written spelled-out, not numerically as 1984 as a Pragmatic Adaptation of the novel for non-Russian audiences, with the addition of the then-new technology of television. Finished in 1948 (Orwell merely reversed the last two digits of that year to devise the title) and published the next year, it became one of the most iconic stories in the English language, and introduced the phrases "Big Brother Is Watching You," "thoughtcrime," "Thought Police," "Newspeak," and "doublethink" into the English lexicon (but not "doublespeak," "groupthink," or "wrongthink").The book is set in London, the chief city of Airstrip One and part of the superpower of Oceania. Life sucks. Oceania is ruled by the totalitarian regime of "the Party", personified by the omnipresent figure of "Big Brother". Standards of living are low due to the Forever War Oceania is engaged in alongside their ally Eurasia against Eastasia (or is it the other way around?). Sex is banned for all Party members except for procreation, and only between state-approved couplings. Media, entertainment, and art are all heavily controlled and censored by the Party. And most importantly, Sinister Surveillance is omnipresent: nearly every space has some sort of monitoring device and itâ€™s impossible to tell whether you are being watched or listened to at any time. The novelâ€™s protagonist is Winston Smith, a member of the middle-class "Outer Party" who lives a dismal existence working for the Party's Propaganda Machine, secretly nursing thoughts of rebellion. Until one day, a chance encounter with a woman might prompt him to do something about it...The book received multiple adaptations over the years. The first one came out shortly after the book's publishing (as in, within the same year) as an episode of the radio anthology series NBC Universal Theater, while the first visual adaptation was as part of another anthology show, CBS' Studio One, in 1953. The following year, The BBC adapted the book for television with a script by Nigel Kneale and Peter Cushing as Winston Smith. It resulted in probably the earliest large-scale eruption of protests about "taste and decency" involving a British TV programme. Questions were asked in the House of Commons when it was alleged that one viewer had actually died of shock while watching.Two film versions were made, in 1956 and (appropriately) 1984 (in fact, the film was shot on the actual days from Winston's diary when possible). The 1956 version was directed by Michael Anderson and featured Edmond O'Brien, Donald Pleasence, Jan Sterling and Michael Redgrave; one of the deeply ironic things about it was that, like the 1954 film adaptation of Animal Farm, the CIA secretly funded and edited the film to suit the needs of the American government. Michael Radford's brilliant and depressing 1984 version of Nineteen Eighty-Four, starring John Hurt as Winston and Richard Burton in his final role as O'Brien, with a soundtrack by Eurythmics, is far more true to the original novel, but is often compared unfavourably to Terry Gilliam's surreal dystopian movie Brazil (which came out one year later, in 1985), which takes a much more subversive and blackly humorous view of Orwell's themes. In 2013, this novel was adapted into stage in West End, with a Broadway run premiering in June 2017. Other adaptations include audio dramas, an operatic production, and a ballet.David Bowie planned to create a musical adaptation of the novel in The '70s, but the idea was rejected by the George Orwell Estate through Orwell's widow herself. The numbers "We Are the Dead", "1984", and "Big Brother" were later used on Bowie's eighth studio album, Diamond Dogs, itself heavily inspired by Orwell's novel (for one, just look at the titles of those three songs).Also, this book is frequently compared to Brave New World as a way of showing the perspectives of the dystopian society. Note that Nineteen Eighty-Four shows that what we fear controls us, while Brave New World shows that what we love controls us.note The most famous expression of this argument was in the introduction to media scholar Neil Postman's 1985 work Amusing Ourselves to Death.Compare also with Jennifer Government, another Dystopian novel in which it's not the state or a single party, but corporations who control everything; and with The Handmaid's Tale in which the suppression of sex for any reason other than breeding is also a major element. Contrast Brave New World where hedonism instead of terror is used to control the populace, and Fahrenheit 451, where dystopia came about from the people while the government was less involved.The book also inspired the trope Room 101, a Place Worse Than Death no person wants to be sent to. The book also inspired the TV Series, where celebrities send their pet hates into the room for all eternity.All spoilers below are unmarked. Reader beware.

Winston is shown to think and work completely in metric, whereas British people at the time of the book's publication would have exlusively used imperial. Orwell was against the complete scrapping of Imperial, though he supported the use of the metric system in scientific work.

Nineteen Eighty-Four / int_1f6983f7	type	Ambiguous Situation
Nineteen Eighty-Four / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: Because of the nature of the world and the Party's iron grip on all information, anything and everything that Winston doesn't personally witness is open to interpretation: The Forever War between Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. The actual state of the world is so poorly known that (a) the idea that Oceania dominates the entire world, and the existence of the other states is simply a fiction to justify a war with which to keep people's expectations of a better life crushed, and (b) the idea that Oceania is little more than a Banana Republic consisting of only Airstrip One, and is applying propaganda to make its position on the world stage sound grander than it really is, are both equally valid interpretations of what might really be going on. The "Three states making only token attacks on each other" is just one other possibility which may or may not be the truth. Of course, we don't actually know anything of the other two powers, or indeed how finely balanced the Balance of Power actually is. The existence of Big Brother, Emmanuel Goldstein, and the Brotherhood. Big Brother is the leader of Oceania, Emmanuel Goldstein is a traitor and public enemy number one, and the Brotherhood is Goldstein's rebel network. But we never actually see any of them in person. Big Brother is solely limited to pictures and posters with his face, Goldstein is never seen outside the Two Minutes Hate movies (which are explicitly state propaganda) and a book he wrote, and the Brotherhood is represented by O'Brien, who turns out to be luring Winston and Julia into a trap. It is heavily indicated that Big Brother is merely a fictitious strongman to serve as a symbol for the Party and the citizens to rally around, Emmanuel Goldstein is an equally fictitious example of The Scapegoat on which the blame for all things bad is placed upon, and the Brotherhood is merely a trap created by the Party, and their handbook was written by them. O'Brien himself leads a lot of credence to this possibility, but refuses to confirm to Winston either way. The appendix. The end of the book contains an often overlooked appendix that refers to Newspeak in the past tense, possibly implying the Party will in fact fall eventually. Of course, this may not technically be part of the story, and invokedWord of God said it was open to interpretation if the Party does eventually fall. This isn't even getting into most of the story with how the Party keeps changing facts leaving it ambiguous as to what is truly real or not. In-Universe, it is acknowledged that history has been manipulated and rewritten so much that it is unknown if it is even the year 1984.

Nineteen Eighty-Four / int_27a42ebc	comment	Spiritual Successor: 1984 is heavily influenced by Zamyatin's We, from where it seems to draw many of its dystopian elements. Orwell began writing 1984 eight months after he read the now lesser known We. To Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here, published fifteen years before Nineteen Eighty Four. Both novels depict a formerly democratic western nation that succumbed to totalitarianism. The protagonists of both novels chafe under totalitarian rule and rebel through the written word. Both men find solace in secret romantic relationships with women who are both their soulmates and co-conspirators; Winston falls in love with Julia while Doremus has a secret affair with Lorinda. Finally, both protagonists find themselves incarcerated and tortured for their rebellion against the state. The books is also a successor of sorts, to two non-fiction essays by Orwell, Politics and the English Language and You and the Atomic Bomb, building on the ideas set forth in both of them. To Orwell's own Animal Farm, a political fable of Soviet Russia which depicts the early stages of a local revolution turned oppressive. In 1984, the regime is fully established on a global scale and times before it are barely a scant memory for a few.

Nineteen Eighty-Four / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The Floating Fortresses are introduced as unstoppable war machines that combine the entire naval might of the Ministry of Peace in a single point in the ocean. They are apparently unsinkable and loaded with enough firepower to make an ork green with envy. However, each one takes so long to build that it becomes obsolete by the time it's finished, so it ends up being scrapped before a new one is built. This is deliberate. The mass amount of labour and raw materials needed to construct one, said to be enough to build several hundreds of cargo ships, must be diverted toward the supposed war, and thus wasted on something that doesn't exist, lest they be used to benefit the population at all (see Goldstein's book).

Inter-office communication is sent on paper in glass tubes (no computers). The Ministry of Truth uses 'novel-writing machines' to keep churning out low-grade literature to keep the proles busy. You can tell who works in the Fiction Department by the oil-stains on their overalls. When Julia and Winston meet in the woods, they know that theyâ€™re safe from listening devices because the trees are too small to hide a microphone. By the actual year 1984, microphones had been sufficiently miniaturized that they could be hidden even in small trees. Played with in an interesting fashion in the Michael Radford film, which of course was made in the real 1984. Winston's office equipment looks exactly as described in the novel, however there is a modern helicopter used in one scene-used by the Thought Police of course, the one part of the Party that would be well funded.

Perhaps the worst part of the ending is the fact that Winston's re-education is so successful that he actually mistakes it for a happy ending.

The narration reveals that Winston thinks they might actually survive for a few more years. Then the two of them say "We are the dead," referencing something they've been saying since the love affair started, and out of nowhere an "iron voice" repeats "You are the dead." The scene immediately becomes hectic as Winston and Julia realize that the Thought Police have found them. "It was behind the picture." A telescreen, that is. O'Brien, coming to Winston in the Ministry of Love, says in response to Winston's belief that they "got" him as part of the resistance, says: "They got me a long time ago" - revealing that he has never been on Winston and Julia's side, and is a dyed-in-the-wool member of the Inner Party. "You do not exist." "Do it to Julia!" The book ends with a rather chilling one: "He loved Big Brother." In the film, Winston tells the image, "I love you."

He would just go on in his humble way, writing lies for the Ministry of Truth, meeting up with Julia, and wondering wistfully if there is a Brotherhood, until his natural death. But for the Party, mere obedience is not enough. When one prisoner in the Ministry of Love offers a piece of bread to another one, a guard bashes him in the mouth hard enough to break his dentures in half.

Though the latter are regarded as animals and living in squalor, there's actually one level below them occupied by the populations of the disputed territories between the three super-states: reduced to outright slavery, these unfortunates don't even have the Bread and Circuses granted to the Proles and are treated like a resource "to be expended like so much coal or oil". Ironically, this leaves them with the most realistic perspective on the ongoing Forever War, as they don't have the luxury of regarding it as something that will one day end: they know that they are inescapably trapped in an endless loop of being invaded, enslaved, liberated, and then invaded and enslaved by their "liberators," ad infinitum.

Outside of their claims are the polar regions, the Pacific and Indian Ocean islands, a disputed area stretching from Manchuria through Mongolia to Tibet, and the equatorial areas, whose boundaries are defined by "a rough quadrilateral between Tangier, Brazzaville, Darwin, and Hong Kong." All of this territory regularly changes hands between the three, who capture vast amounts of resources and enslave the local people, but never hold much of it for long.

To be fair, though, the Party refuses to educate the proles well and deliberately keeps them ignorant. The Book explicitly says the Party finds the brightest proles and eliminates them. In contrast, the brightest, most ambitious Outer Party members are allowed to rise into the Inner Party, and hence become harmless. Despite his left-wing views, Orwell was often criticised for his negative views of the English working-class, in particular the idea that they would just naturally degrade into ignorance and filth. Chalk it up to that Eton College education... However, the fact that Winston sees them as the best hope for the future says something.

Nineteen Eighty-Four / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: The 1984 movie is extremely faithful to the book, but the shift in medium means that Orwell's detailed narration on the history of Ingsoc is lost. Since the movie obviously cannot devote itself to lengthy info breaks like the novel does, it spends more time cultivating atmosphere and showing just how miserable life is in Airstrip One. Also, because all of Winston's thought processes (save for his diary entries) are lost, he ends up as more of an Audience Surrogate — the fact that he's magnificently played by the incredibly aptly named John Hurt (who even looks like George Orwell) is an added bonus.The ending is also subtly different, changing the meaning but not the outcome. Winston writes "2 + 2 =" (as opposed to "2 + 2 = 5," which was Orwell's intent; "2 + 2 =" was a typo in many editions), and thinks "I love you!" (after Julia leaves, but while staring at Big Brother, so it could go either way; whereas the book directly states that he loves Big Brother). "2 + 2 =" is arguably more powerful, since O'Brien says in both versions that the answer to 2 + 2 is whatever he decides it is, and could be 3, 6, or all at once. With regard to Winston thinking "I love you!," if he had simply said "I love Big Brother" (translating the famous closing line from third person to first person), it would have sounded a lot more awkward.

Julia says she shares this perception of his younger self, and says the same seems to apply to all children. The children of Oceania are brought up to mistrust and spy on their own parents. Family values and loyalty are discouraged in favour of sadistically ratting out the other members of one's family. Parsons' kids attack Winston with a catapult, accusing him of being a traitor and a thought criminal, and say they want to shoot him, vaporize him or send him to the salt mines. According to their mother, they're acting out because they can't go to a hanging. They end up turning in their father because they (supposedly) heard him say "down with Big Brother" in his sleep.

Goldstein's book, which describes the society, puts it rather baldly: The premise of the book postulates an ongoing Forever War between three superpowers, Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, the political ideologies of which are, respectively, Ingsoc, Neo-Bolshevism, and what roughly translates as Obliteration of the Self. To the extent that the citizens of each superpower are aware of the other superpowers' political ideologies, they deride them as monstrous outrages upon common sense. However, as Goldstein notes, the three ideologies are functionally indistinguishable, as are the societies they support.

Nineteen Eighty-Four / int_875615dd	comment	Truth in Television: "Newspeak" had a direct precedent. The basic concept and many of its specific characteristics are a parody of "Basic English," an actual proposal for an international language based on a version of English with a restricted vocabulary and "rationalised" grammar, which Orwell considered aesthetically ugly, and politically repressive in its choices for necessary subject matter to be covered. The overall shifts and inconsistencies of Oceania and IngSoc's party line reflects the build-up of World War II and the sudden shifts in political alliances which Orwell working in the BBC information bureau found bewildering. The Soviet Union was anti-fascist and then signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of neutrality, America was neutral, the British Empire was anti-fascist and then Hitler declared war on the Soviet Union, which led the English to welcome the Soviet Union into the alliance, invade Iran together, sell out Poland to Stalin, to say nothing of the anti-communist Americans suddenly palling around with the USSR and then ending the war as enemies again with Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain speech. Orwell in the bureau realized that overnight and as new information came, a new party line emerged and inconsistencies were papered over for realpolitik reasons.

The Party itself, which remains invincible simply because it has left itself no room for failure, no chance of being truly undermined or even diluted in potency, and no alternative to its existence. Its grasp on Oceania is absolute and crushing, it potentially creates entire resistance movements and false prophets just for the sake of internal threats that bolster the population's resolve, and is locked in a pointless, endless war with the two other countries over the last remaining disputed zone of land, where territory constantly changes hands and no real progress is ever made.

O'Brien telling Winston and Julia about how they will risk being captured, tortured, and vaporized after joining the Brotherhood. Winston once had a dream where he was walking in a pitch-black room, then heard O'Brien on his side say "We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness". Years after that dream, Winston is certain that O'Brien is a heretic just like him, and that eventually they will meet in a place where they will be free. Winston meets O'Brien in the place where there is no darkness, but the place and O'Brien are nothing like Winston thought they would be. The place where there is no darkness is the Ministry of Love, where dissidents are tortured until they believe in the Party, and where there is no darkness because there are no windows and the lights are always on, to the point where it's impossible to tell if it's midday or midnight. O'Brien is not a rebel, but a mastermind of the inner party, and instead of freeing Winston's soul, O'Brien oversees his torture. In the Ministry of Love, Winston sees one of his fellow prisoners get called to go to Room 101. As he frantically resists being dragged to his fate, he tries to convince them to punish someone else instead of him, thereby prefiguring what Winston ends up doing. In fact, just as the prisoner tries to sacrifice the only individual who had shown kindness towards him (the other prisoner who had offered to share his last piece of bread), Winston ends up sacrificing the only person who loved him, Julia. The last two verses of the arc rhyme "Oranges and Lemons": "Here comes a candle to light you to bed." In the darkness that is Airstrip one, the bed in which he is free to love whom he loves in the room where he can think what he thinks comes as a light to Winston from Mr. Charrington. The line immediately after that goes "Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.". Mr. Charrington is a member of the Thought Police. There was a telescreen hidden behind a carving in the room the entire time. Because of that room, Winston and Julia are arrested, tortured until they lose all personhood, and then left destined to die by gunshot. This edition of the book features a rat on the cover. Rats are Winston's worst fear, and threatening to unleash half-starved rats on him to eat him alive is what makes Winston do what he thinks the party can never make him do: stop him from loving Julia. He wants the rats to eat her alive instead and he means it, and then he can never see her the same way again. When Winston and Julia are in the room over Mr. Charrington's shop, Winston panics after having seen a rat.

A government agent of Oceania specifically defies the notion that they are successors to the Nazi Germans or Soviet Communists, since those groups still couched their murderousness behind utopian goals.

Nineteen Eighty-Four / int_af7d483f	comment	Winston once had a dream where he was walking in a pitch-black room, then heard O'Brien on his side say "We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness". Years after that dream, Winston is certain that O'Brien is a heretic just like him, and that eventually they will meet in a place where they will be free. Winston meets O'Brien in the place where there is no darkness, but the place and O'Brien are nothing like Winston thought they would be. The place where there is no darkness is the Ministry of Love, where dissidents are tortured until they believe in the Party, and where there is no darkness because there are no windows and the lights are always on, to the point where it's impossible to tell if it's midday or midnight. O'Brien is not a rebel, but a mastermind of the inner party, and instead of freeing Winston's soul, O'Brien oversees his torture.

Because Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia can't go to war without completely annihilating all three of them at once, their leaders have nobody to take out their sadistic tendencies on but their own people.

But the rhyme as normally told continues a little more ("I'm sure I don't know, said the great bell of Bow," — that is, interestingly, Bow Bells, the Cockney Londoner's central point.) suggesting to an educated reader that the Inner Party is not as omniscient as it believes.

At one point during a rally, the Party, having always been at war with Eurasia, suddenly has always been at war with Eastasia, in mid-speech (the speaker is handed a note with the change). And — as Winston notes with horror — the audience instantly goes along with it. The rally in question took tons of preparation, including creating banners and propaganda damning Eurasia, but once Eastasia has been named as the enemy, the crowd becomes aghast that their banners now falsely name Eurasia as the enemy and believe Goldstein's heretical group is to blame for them being wrong.

Nineteen Eighty-Four / int_dc8ba6d5	comment	The existence of Big Brother, Emmanuel Goldstein, and the Brotherhood. Big Brother is the leader of Oceania, Emmanuel Goldstein is a traitor and public enemy number one, and the Brotherhood is Goldstein's rebel network. But we never actually see any of them in person. Big Brother is solely limited to pictures and posters with his face, Goldstein is never seen outside the Two Minutes Hate movies (which are explicitly state propaganda) and a book he wrote, and the Brotherhood is represented by O'Brien, who turns out to be luring Winston and Julia into a trap. It is heavily indicated that Big Brother is merely a fictitious strongman to serve as a symbol for the Party and the citizens to rally around, Emmanuel Goldstein is an equally fictitious example of The Scapegoat on which the blame for all things bad is placed upon, and the Brotherhood is merely a trap created by the Party, and their handbook was written by them. O'Brien himself leads a lot of credence to this possibility, but refuses to confirm to Winston either way.

Having reached the end of his psychological tether in the face of his worst fear, he's reduced to begging O'Brien to inflict the torture on his lover Julia instead - exactly what his torturers wanted all along.

Winston doesn't even question that O'Brien and the Thought Police have had him under surveillance for years, and were aware of his treason at every stage. Actually, heâ€™s probably right; itâ€™s implied that the Party noticed his momentary hesitation when holding a news cutting which he destroys, but subsequently appears again in Oâ€™Brienâ€™s hands during the torture sequence. The second-hand shop where he bought his journal, other curios and subsequently rented a room, was operated by a Thought Police agent (Mr Charrington). Winston doesnâ€™t actually KNOW any of this in detail, but he is proven right in general terms. Parsons expresses nothing but admiration for his daughter when she denounces him to the Thought Police for whispering, "Down with Big Brother" in his sleep.

Even after being tortured for weeks (and possibly months) on end, Winston tells O'Brien that the Party will someday fall due to the "spirit of mankind", a conviction he holds onto with desperate faith alone (as Winston cannot argue that the Party could be defeated by anything else in existence). O'Brien responds coldly, by showing Winston his battered and malnourished body in a mirror and using it as a metaphor for humanity itself. What happened to Winston, he explained, is what would happen to anyone who would dare defy Ingsoc. "If you are a man, Winston, you are the last man." O'Brien's revelations about the Brotherhood or the future of the world may or may not have been lies designed to demoralize Winston and facilitate his brainwashing, but it is irrelevant either way, since the bad guys think it's important that members of the resistance feel alone, isolated, and doomed.
