Thinking activity on 1984

Here I am presenting my thinking activity on 1984 

1. Explain in detail 'The Manipulation of the Human mind'. 

   

In 1949, Eric Blair published one of the most thought-provoking books, 1984. Under his pseudonym, George Orwell became one of the most famous authors of his time. 

               George Orwell expressed a society that had lost its ability to think for oneself. The Party in the book uses different methods to control every facet of their citizens. 

             In the process of doing that George Orwell portrays psychological torture and manipulation of human nature in 1984, in order to emphasize how the government retained complete sovereignty over the citizens. 

The word Manipulation means handle or control a person or situation unscrupulously. In this novel government try to manipulation of the human mind. 

              In 1984 novel we find party and the Big Brother manipulated the population through psychological means, physical means and the edition of past events and newspeak .

               The people has also manipulation for physical means. Party and Big Brother was give great importance to keep the population under control. 

                   Thoughtcrime was considered against the party. It was said that this crime meant death and you could never get away with it for long. People had to be on constant alert not to betray any internal struggle. Otherwise, they would earn a visit from Thought Police and be brought to the Ministry of Love.

        The government try to manipulation of the human mind by various techniques. They try to control humans own thoughts and desirs .   

  

2. Explain in detail 'the abolition of opposition .

      In the novel we can see the abolition of opposition, means party and Big Brother acted officially ending or stoping opposition of people. 

                  Big Brother and party manipulated human mind by control their thoughts. They removed past books and history. The language Newspeak they developed. 

               When the people think against the party or Big Brother they do Thought crimes and thought police brought them to Ministry of Love. 

                       At that place the members of the party torture and beaten people bad way. Any one can not try to revolt against party or Big Brother. The party members also like to abolition of opposition. 

                In the novel Winston Smith and Julia both do Thought crimes and they reach at Ministry of Love. At this place the party members and O'Brien also torture them.

               At the end both Winston Smith and Julia accept the rules of the party and Big Brother.  The party do not like opposition of population against Big Brother for that they abolition of opposition by various manipulation. 

3. Explain in detail 'The Heretopic place' in Nineteen Eighty-Four. 

                      In the novel we see all the place is observed by Big Brother and party. Everywhere we find telescreen that observes all activities of people. That place are known as Panopticon space. One place is described in novel where the protagonist feel safe that is known as Heretopic place. 

                 The protagonist finds some relief from the constant surveillance of Big Brother and the Thought Police, in a small rented room above the antique shop.                          'The Hoterogeneous Space', which exclude the particularly of minority perception and 'The Hoterogeneous Space', which is presented as the outcome of the transgression on the homogeneous space. In the novel this new place of freedom was the room he rented above the antique shop.                                                            Which became the protagonist's zone of intimacy, and which from the protagonist perspective; clearly contrasted with scrutiny prevailing in Oceania.           

                         The Heretopic place in the novel had a noticeable impact on the protagonist both physically and psychologically which is made apparent through Orwell's description of the protagonist. The Heretopic place in the novel represents the personal space that was missing in the panopticon space. The feeling of protection, and welfare that the protagonist experienced in this Heretopic place.

4. "HE LOVED BIG BROTHER" Winston's movement towards a poststructuralist discourse 1984. Explain in detail with your understanding about this novel.

     Through this act, Winston's self-preservation overcomes his desire for self-expression. He has conquered his individuality and submitted once again to Party group-think.

              He loves Big Brother, because he no longer has an individual will; his will has become part of societal group-mind.

                  Winston caught by Thought Police and at Ministry of Love. There he much tortured by O'Brien and party members. The Ministry of Love becomes a symbol for the postmodernist architecture. Winston's ultimate betrayal is not a physical, not even political action, but a mental betrayal. 

           Once this happens, once the party has been able to fully control his mind, the void that poststructuralists pursued, he is absorbed by the system's discourse.

               He loved Big Brother. In other words, Winston no longer thinks of rebellion; he is no longer concerned with bringing down the Party. 

                 His experiences in the Ministry of Love, particularly in Room 101, have successfully moulded him into an obedient Party member.The last pages of the novel show a wasted Winston, a man who has been stripped from his individual discourse and pushed into the multiplicities of meanings of the party's discourse. 

            In his embrace of his embrace of this poststructuralist discourse, unable to hold to a stable meaning, he accepts the discontinuities in History, embrace doublethink and participates in the creation of a Newspeak dictionary.

5. Make a comparison between George Orwell two works "Animal Farm" and "1984". On the basis of similarity and dissimilarity.  

                    Both the novel "Animal Farm" and "1984" written by George Orwell. Both the novel is dystopian novel. In both the novel we find political issues. 

 Animal Farm:

It is a satirical allegorical novella. This novel tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can equal, free and happy.

                In this novel we see the major characters like Mr. Jones, Old Major, Napoleon, Snowball, Boxer, Benjamin, etc. All characters are allegorical.

                Napoleon is allegory of Joseph Stalin. It is novel about Russian Revolution. In this novel rebel of animals symbolically use for Russian Revolution. 

 1984: 

                    It is dystopian science fiction novel. This novel tells story about state their thinking against party is become crime. In this novel has one Big Brother, who is the invisible character in novel. 

             But he watch people everywhere by telescreen. Winston is the protagonist character of the novel he try to rebel against party and Big Brother. 

            The character of Big Brother also represents Joseph Stalin. The totalitarianism is main theme of the novel. In the novel we see Winston caught by Thought Police and toture in the Ministry of Love. At the end he follows Big Brother.

                  Both the novel written on the basis of politics and about Russian Revolution.
