19841

1984 is a political parable. George Orwell wrote the novel to show society what it could become if things kept getting worse. The first paragraph of the book tells the reader of the "swirl of gritty dust....The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats." Just from these few lines Orwell makes it clear that there was absolutely nothing victorious abuot Victory Mansions. Every image the reader recieves from Winston Smith is pessimistic. Hate …

…is a satire of the upper class. The members of the Upper class believe that they have supeiority over the common people. They are always wanting more than what is given to them. Very much like O'Brien telling Winston in hte Ministry of Love that it wasn't good enough just for him to say that 2+2=5; he had to believe it with his entire being, to know that 2+2=5 or 3 or whatever the party said.
