1984 is George Orwell’s vision of the future. It is a spooky representation of how the power of the state could come to dominate the lives of each.

Could there be a life with no one controllling you?
ResponderEliminarGeorge Orwell's writes a worrying book called 1984 written in 1948.
The goverment in those years were cruel with people because they weren't free.George shows in his book that dangerous and cruel goverments could happen anywhere. Around 1984 people compared George's book with reality but there weren't similarities.George wrote in his book that in the future there would be more electronical things like computers and cameras to control us which is what is actually happening now. George wasn't telling people that the future world be exactly the same as his book.He was warning people about dangers in the future. Because in real life there are always wars between countries and people is always frightened.Winston tries that no one knows the truth about the past.
There is always someone controlling you for example because of the language.
The estate will have total control over people's thoughts. Many of George's 'New Speak' words have passed into everyday language.1984 show us that there can be no fredoom unless ideas and beliefs can be questioned whithout individual freedom,reality belongs to the people with the power.
