G. Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four beyond Dystopia

Abstract

The article proposes a theoretical foray into Orwell’s 1984, one that offers insight about how complex the fabric of, perhaps, the most well known classic dystopia of the 20th century, really is. Discussing auctorial intention and the inherent structural aspects of a utopia/dystopia, a close analysis of 1984 reflects the lesser known aspects behind creating some of the most familiar contemporary images related to the disappearance of personal freedom and the birth of the surveillance state.
