Orwell's dystopia is a place where humans have no control over their own lives, where nearly every positive feeling is squelched, and where people live in misery, fear, and repression. In his attempt to educate the reader about the consequences of certain political philosophies and the defects of human nature, Orwell manipulates and usurps the utopian tradition and creates a dystopia, a fictional setting in which life is extremely bad from deprivation, oppression, or terror. In 1984, Orwell creates a technologically advanced world in which fear is used as a tool for manipulating and controlling individuals who do not conform to the prevailing political orthodoxy. The word is now used to describe any place considered to be perfect. In fact, the word utopia is taken from Sir Thomas More's Utopia, written in 1516. Utopia, or Nowhere Land, is an ideal place or society in which human beings realize a perfect existence, a place without suffering or human malady. Among the literary traditions that Orwell uses is the concept of utopia, which he distorts effectively for his own purposes. ![]() George Orwell's 1984, like many works of literature, unmistakably carries with it literary traditions reaching back to the earliest of storytellers. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately for them, they’re involved in a traffic accident outside of Brighton. ![]() He’s been seconded to desk duty while the court case plays out, but – wouldn’t you know it – he’s about to receive a phone call from an old friend asking for his help on a perplexing new case.Ī group of young men are having a fine old time on stag do when they all pile into the back of a Transit.
