George Orwell 1984 Non Traditional Analysis

In the novel, though Big Brother’s name often shows up in the book, he never truly appears: there isn’t any detailed description of Big Brother. This certain level of ambiguity make the literature deep and worth discussing, enhancing the literary merit of the novel. “But since in reality Big Brother is not omnipotent and the party is not infallible, there is need for an unwearying, moment-to-moment flexibility in the treatment of facts”(Orwell 104). Such an idea encourages Winston Smith to rebel and escape the society in the following chapters. Thus, the ambiguity also somehow promotes the development of the story in the

Even as readers, we do not know everything there is to know, especially when dealing with Jay Gatsby, but what we do know still manages to be contradicted by the complicated character of Daisy. It is recognizable that Daisy continually denies reality for her own convenience within her individual relationships mainly involving Tom and Gatsby, which deal with Tom’s affair, the situation of Gatsby, the feeling of regret following the realization of her first love, and her past of loving Tom. To start off, it is known that Daisy chooses to contradict many things going on in her life. In this time period, it was not uncommon for married men to have affairs with other women, while the other way around was not acceptable. When reading this novel, we

In Winston’s mind O’Brien becomes a sort of clandestine friend and political conspirator with whom he can discuss his wants of rebellion. At this point in the novel the reader begins to understand the importance of O’Brien in Winston’s life, as he acts as the metaphorical spark that kick starts Winston’s plot line. If O’Brien never glanced at Winston it is very likely that Winston would have continued to feel as if there was no one who in shared his beliefs and was an enemy of the Party. Thus because the characters do share eye contact Winston is able to begin his journey/ fight against Big Brother and the major plot of 1984, Winston’s search for rebellion,

There are so many talks and thought which come from him are pessimistic. When he falls in love with Charlotte, he think he is incorrigible. And he gives an example about it. When he argues with Albert, he says :” The question, therefore, is, not whether a man is strong or weak, but whether he is able to endure the measure of his sufferings. The suffering may be moral or physical; and in my opinion it is just as absurd to call a man a coward who destroys himself, as to call a man a coward who dies of a malignant fever.

The novel 1984 by George Orwell reveals the destruction of all aspects of the universe. Orwell envisioned how he believes life would be like if a country were taken over by a totalitarian figure. Nineteen eighty-four effectively portrays a totalitarian style government, in which elected representatives maintain the integrity of a nation with very little citizen participation in the decision-making process of the legislative body. Although the authors ideas are inherently and completely fictional, several concepts throughout his book have common links to today’s society which is somehow a realist perspective. Orwell integrates devices such as irony, satire, and motifs to illustrate the life unfulfilling life of Winston Smith.

In the novel The Catcher in The Rye, by J.D Salinger, the main character Holden goes through a tough time and struggles to figure out his identity. He doesn’t want to grow up and doesn't want to become an adult, but he feels like he has little choice. In the novel The Awakening, by kate Chopin, the main character Edna has similar struggles as Holden. She is not like the rest of the women around her, she gets drunk and doesn't want to enter the real world and wants to get away from everyone so she can do what she wants to do.

This is mainly a result of both characters being idealists and rejecting change. Whilst both characters thrive in the past they struggle in reality with their individual distinct flaws. It is the faults in their characters that, not only makes them distinct, though is what leads to their ultimate fall at the end of each novel. Holden Caulfield and Jay Gatsby struggle with the present because they tend to reject reality by being overly self-interested. Holden Caulfield appears to not “fit in” anywhere and leads him to view most people as “phony” as an

Not having a mouth represents many thing such as : “At times, dreaming of a faceless person can be a reflection of how confused you are about yourself and your direction in life. You might also have this feeling that other people fail to appreciate you.” This could mean as his confusion rises about what it is zelda thinks he has done, as she would claim he was a common customer at the house of infidelity. As far as the ears go, it represents his inability to hear zelda. He cannot hear her denial, her pain,her love.
