Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how despite the fact that George Orwell?s prophetic vision of the future was not completely realized his tragic satire "1984" remains one of the most moving and terrifying literary works of the 20th century. It provides a brief outline of the plot set in the year 1984 in Airstrip One, a futuristic vision of London, the capital city of Oceania, one of the three great superpowers that govern the world and analyzes some of the hidden social and political messages.

From the Paper:

"The population of Oceania is oppressed and completely controlled by the totalitarian government known only as "The Party". The Party's leader is the all-powerful Big Brother. Through the use of telescreens that see all, hear all and also broadcast endless propaganda The Party's law and order department, The Ministry of Love, can monitor and restrict every action, word and gesture of the population. Through the constant alteration of history The Party easily conceals any facts, figures, records and even people that could contradict their absolute power. The forced implementation by The Party of a new language, designed to restrict unorthodox thinking, will eventually create a race totally incapable of independent thought or action. "
