Portrayal of George Orwell s life in Winston Smith
George Orwells “1984” presents a negative utopian picture, a society ruled by rigid totalitarianism. The government which Orwell creates in his novel is ruled by an entity known as Big Brother and consists of three branches. ... The main character, Winston Smith, does not completely accept the ideology that is fed to him by the government. When one examines George Orwells life, it can be clearly seen that he personifies his politically aggravated writings, his scrutiny of governmental figures, as well as his attraction to a certain social, economic class, and feelings about writing are also exhibited, through Winston. Epitomizing the attribution of Orwells characteristics from end to end, Winston’s writings are the manifestation of Orwells political. Although Orwell wrote publicly, and Winston wrote in a private diary, they both passionately wrote for their own cause. Orwell was against totalitarianism and used Winston to reflect that when he wrote against the "evils of Igsoc". He writes in his diary, "Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious”, Winston, trying to overcome the oppression by Big Brother and Orwell is writing to those oppressed by Communism.
