A most unhappy gentleman Two Gentlemen of Verona (V, iv) 1. This quote means a sorrowful man.

Orwell strongly represents the use of Fu as a rhetorical device. This device was used the most effectively to persuade Winston of the beauty of destroying language. Winston begins to be threatened harmfully by the Big Brother party. “Power is in fearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. ”(Orwell 292).

Explore how Gregor’s metamorphosis can be seen as a symbol of alienation of him in the modern world in Kafka’s Metamorphosis. The literal meaning of the term ‘metamorphosis’ is the process of transformation by which humans change from an adolescent into an adult in two or more stages. The choice of the title by Kafka, creates a significant role for the idea of change to be played. The story suggests a world that is pugnacious and the most salient theme in the book is per say the powerful hegemonizing demeanour of Kafka’s father over him which is shown in correlation with Mr Samsa and Gregor.

Thought of conquering the world passes through the borders, disrupts the world and ponders a kind of a novel isomorphism.

Applying D. E. Eichholz’s interpretation of Virgil’s Aeneid to George Orwell’s 1984 would be difficult in the sense that Virgil’s language seems to imply a more significant meaning. George Orwell’s style, throughout 1984, is a collection of manipulation and small amounts of very meaningful symbols. Eichholz argues that there are passages that present varieties of interpretations throughout The Aeneid. “War is Peace Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength” (Orwell, pg. 6). This slogan is the most popular reference from 1984 and acts as the most meaningful symbolism in the novel.

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.

Sense can be found in one such work, Henry IV: Part II, “But, as I told my Lord of Westmoreland, the time misordered doth, in common sense, crowd us and crush us to this monstrous form” (Johnson). Shakespeare uses the phrase, “common sense” in this work. In this context, sense goes along with the word “common” to mean good understanding and sound judgement based on the situation. Shakespeare was not the only poet to use sense in his works. The word also appears in Alfred Tennyson’s Ode on the Death of Duke Wellington:

As a reader, I lost touch with what time frame I was reading... let alone care. Redhill 's narrative layers are a masquerade of pointless, odious converse, he 'll say as an author it 's his playwright background that creates this drama. I 'll retort.. 'what drama! ' I distinctly smelt the funk of utterance via poetic license - it 's a shambolic use of utterance. The misery continued... and somehow reached a zenith of innate, when I read a dumbfounding stream of thought in homage to the words: 'key ' and 'horse, ' two entities allowed to roam freely from the stable of logic - Redhill blurts out: "Metallic keynes and huge, hard, nostril clouded horseness went clanging and galloping through his mind like a magic lantern show, where someone had pulled the slide through too fast."

Big brother is ruining a totalitarian government, which is also a form of socialist government. This style of government has a dictator and has little or no freedom. Winston sees that this government can do nothing but spells out bad news, it also do nothing for human rights. O’brien sees it as a way for big brother and the inner party to flex their power to the people of oceania. Winston understands all of the outcomes that their government has so thats why he is trying to stop it

The reasons use a variety of literary devices and parallelism. Also in the introduction contains the philosophy upon which the declaration is based. This philosophy is that “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights” and that the reason for instituting these governments is to ensure these rights. When the government tries to remove the rights from the people, the governed people should have the right to rebel. There are a few different main points in the body of the Declaration.

Winston believes that this is the moment he has been waiting for, but he also realizes that by taking this step, he is destined for an early grave. ”Winston has an obsession with O 'brien because he wants him to be apart of the rebellion group. Winston obsession with big brother, “ Big Brother and Goldstein exist in effect, and that is the only thing that matters to Winston. Orwell intended for these figures to represent totalitarian power structures; in essence, they are both the same. O 'Brien, in his incarnation as a Brotherhood leader, asks Winston and Julia if they are willing to commit atrocities against the Party, many of which are no better that the atrocities that the Party commits against its people”.

Winston reflects back on how the party alters the history of the country: “the lie passed into history and became truth” (Orwell 34). Although Winston knows that Oceania and Eurasia were in alliance before, he also believes that they did not have an actual alliance because of what the Party imposes onto the citizens’ memories of the past. Orwell’s use of the word “passed” possibly shows that the lies they create can easily to history and be masked as the truth. It can be inferred that Winston now knows exactly how the party paralyzes anyone from actual thinking, which is by changing the history.
