What Does George Orwell Symbolize The Government

I also think that the connection could be made to the government today, how much are they willing to gain control and power? So overall the main point is that power can corrupt almost anyone and if it does, they usually become what they hated the most, which is what I think almost everyone fears, and I think Orwell knew that too. He wrote the story in such a way that it was easy to make the parallels between the animals and the government. Now transitioning to one of Orwell’s most famous novels, 1984. The main theme in this one of course is that Big Brother is always watching. In the novel Big Brother symbolizes the government and their ability to control everything. I think Orwell also meant for Big Brother to represent the government back

The main character in the book, Winston Smith, tries to overthrow “Big Brother” with a woman, Julia (they become lovers), and they go to join the organization called the “Brotherhood” and meet a man named O’Brien who claims that he hates “The Party” (the government) and also wants to overthrow them. However in the end it is revealed that O’Brien was a spy for The Party and only pretended to be a part of the Brotherhood so he could coerce Winston into openly rebelling against Big Brother. Winston is then taken to a facility called the “Ministry of Love” where he is tortured and brainwashed by O’Brien, but is able to resist. Winston is then threatened with a cage of rats upon his head (had a recurring nightmare about rats) and finally pleads with O’Brien to do it to Julia. That was what O’Brien wanted all along, for Winston to crack. Now with his spirit broken, Winston was allowed to re-enter the world and even though he saw Julia again, there were no longer any intimate feelings towards her and Winston fully accepted the Party and learned to love Big Brother

He was able to do this through plot, characters, and diction; the way the characters interacted showed the reader that something was not right in this society. Many people have written articles about George Orwell and his reasons for writing what he wrote, and some have even written articles about why George Orwell was wrong and why his books shouldn’t be read. First I am going to talk about the people who think why Orwell should be read and also why he was one of the greatest writers. The first article is “Homage to George Orwell” by Peter Firchow. According to Firchow Orwell was not a simple man, he was a “complex, difficult personality disguising himself as an unremarkable, ordinary, and even very amiable fellow” (Firchow). Even though it was in a very unorthodox and complicated way, Orwell was in fact a genius. Some critics say that Orwell even had schizophrenia and that was the reason he never wrote a biography, but even though there’s no evidence to support it, many people have wondered if George Orwell was in fact the pseudonym to the real Eric Blair. There was also something unstable about Orwell. Norman Collins, who later would become Orwell’s superior at BBC, talked about The Clergyman’s Daughter and wrote that “the chaotic structure of the book would suggest some kind of mental
