Niccolo Machiavelli George Orwell
1,195 wordsMy focus is upon a piece by Niccolo Machiavelli, an Italian prince from the renaissance period who writes "The Morals of a Prince", and in an opposite vein, an essay by George Orwell, an English author and enemy of totalitarianism whose essay is "Politics and the English Language." Within these essays I have found a similarity in which Orwell illustrates that 'political writing becomes the defense of the indefensible, most political writing is bad, where it is not the author is usually a rebel w...

Nineteen Eighty Four Animal Farm
1,108 wordsAnimal Farm was written between November 1943 and February 1944, but was not published until August 1945, principally as a result of political objections that arose over the book's attack on Stalin and the Soviet Union. It was turned down by a number of publishers in England (including T. S. Eliot at Faber and Faber) and America. One American publisher rejected it because, he said, Americans were not in the mood for animal stories. Orwell, fearing implicit censorship and convinced of the urgency...

Because the social world of 1984 is not that far removed from the reader's own experience, he becomes involved in a more profound, intimate way than he does in Huxley's remote chrome-and-glass society. Orwell wanted his readers to understand not only the intellectual-theor...

By deliberately weakening peoples memories and flooding their minds with propaganda, the Party is able to replace individuals memories with its own version of the truth. It becomes nearly impossible for people to question the Partys power in the present when they accept what the Party tells them about the past that the Party arose to protect them from bloated, oppressive capitalists, and that the world was far uglier and harsher before...

Animal Farm As Satire

Consequently the book was published in Britain on 17 August 1945, after the war was over, and sold more than 25. 000 hard copies in five years. When it published in the State in 1946, it sold about 590. 000 in four years (Shelden, 1991). The book was a satire on totali...

So for example he knew it from the very beginning that his diary would be found. And as one can see the things that are written in this book (that freedom is to say that two and two makes four) are used against him later. He also knew that his illegal love affair was an act of revolution, would be disclosed by the Thought Police. But nevertheless he is some kind of naive. He ...

Animalism Vs Marxism In Animal Farm
1,747 wordsIntroduction Long before the invention of the television or telephone, much less the computer, people had to communicate by word of mouth or written documents. It was not a peculiar happening for a critic of religious, political, or economical affairs to write his opinions in an allegorical and sometimes satirical fashion. Public awareness to many social wrongs has long been fed by such writings. In 1944, even after the modern means of communication had arrived, George Orwell, an Englishman, exp...

People Of Oceania Back And Forth

One of the major connections that Orwell makes about the tele screen of 1984 and today's society is that you could spy on people. The tele screen might be the most closely compared to microphones and cameras, but there are also many other devices that can be easily used for spying. Within the area of the tele screen anyone could be ...

Threats To Democracy In Modern Part 1
1,779 wordsThreats to Democracy in Modern America The main feature of our post-industrial era is that modern societies are becoming increasingly anti-utopian.

Yet, the ill-famed hate law is nowadays' reality and there is no public outcry against it, as people are being brainwashed that hate is necessarily evil, even though it is a ...
