1984 George Orwell

I think George Orwell's message is pretty clear in 1984. To me I think that looking at today's technology and reading 1984 really shows how much this book has inspired much of the technology we have today. But that's not what I'm talking about. What I believe George Orwell is saying in 1984 is that technology is advancing and evolving at an alarming rate that one day the world will be run by machines. Or the other theory I had is that again that technology is evolving and advancing so much that in the wrong hands, the creations can be used for wiping out groups of people and bring a new world order. I'd say I'd go with my second theory because he wrote this book in the time of wwII and I can only assume he was inspired by mans condition at that time. And also that his other book Animal Farm talks about animales putting humans in farm pens, so it's kinda clear that he's interested in these kind of topics.

1984 mr charington

My character analysis on mr charington. To start off he's a minor character because of how little he shows up in the story. He's also an antagonist in the story due to him exposing Julia and Winston to the thought police. He is also a static character because again since he's shown for a short amount of time, so it's hard to expand on this character, and from what we have seen from this character we're just going to assume he will not change his mind and continue exposing people similar to Winston and Julia. He's a flat character for the same reason. Obviously an antagonist. And finally a symbolic character, why? Because I believe he represents betrayal and deceit.
