GEORGE ORWELL AKA ERIC BLAIR

He considered himself a “truth writer”

What Orwell saw…

Context of 1984

Nazi Germany EVER since I have been scrutinizing political events, I have taken a tremendous interest in propagandist activity. I saw that the Socialist-Marxist organizations mastered and applied this instrument with astounding skill. And I soon realized that the correct use of propaganda is a true art which has remained practically unknown to the bourgeois parties. Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler Volume One - A Reckoning

Truth?

What does this remind you of? “How easy it was, thought Winston, if you did not look about you, to believe that the physical type set up by the Party as an ideal, - tall muscular youths and deep bosomed maidens, blond haired, vital, sunburnt, carefree –existed and even predominated”

Orwell considered himself a “truth writer”

GEORGE ORWELL AKA ERIC BLAIR

1984 (sometimes written Nineteen Eighty-Four)

Why keep a diary?

Surveillance and Control

The Map

The Party

The “Four Freedoms”

Three Slogans of the Party:

"Work Makes Freedom"

The Ministries of Oceania Oceania's four ministries are housed in huge pyramidal structures displaying the three slogans of the party on their sides.

The Ministry of Peace Minipax is the newspeak name for the Ministry of Peace, which concerns itself with making war

The Ministry of Plenty Miniplenty in Newspeak, it is the ministry involved in maintaining ubiquitous poverty in Oceania

The Ministry of Truth Minitrue is the propaganda arm of the Ingsoc State. Winston Smith spends his daytime hours “correcting” historical records in Minitrue.

The Ministry of Love Miniluv is a gigantic windowless building devoted to torture and brutality. The home of the thought police, it is surrounded by a maze of barbed wire and machinegun towers.

Terms to Know Newspeak = official language of Oceania, words are condensed and simplified for communication, resulting in less thought Ingsoc = English Socialism, these principles guide the state of Oceania Doublethink = believing two contradictory ideas at the same time Telescreen = a two-way television screen

Main Characters Winston Smith = the “everyman” who is a member of the Party; rewrites history, begins to rebel against the party O’Brien = a man with whom Winston feels a connection; member of “the brotherhood,” an underground rebel group Julia = a girl from Winston’s work that he becomes infatuated with

Things to think about… How does this novel connect with our own society? What is Orwell’s ultimate message about  Societal apathy?  The use of fear?  Mass manipulation?  Isolation and individualism?
