George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four is a novel which contains many political messages to the world, it is an examination of the future under the rule of a totalitarian society. It is one of the greatest stories of an anti-utopian society ever. Orwell represents humanity as divided into two sides, the dominant and the submissive; with the conflicts between them. Human are shown as those who are willing to hurs other for their owngain, even it sounds horrible and insane, that is life, that is the real truth. Another idea the author defends is that a war is naturally bad, pointing out the disadvantages it has and the poor life style it can bring.


Orwell presents a society which is associated with the English socialism which develops collectively. We can differenciate two classes: the members of the governing party, whose highest figure is the Big Brother; and the proletariat, what means the eighty five per cent of the population. Finally we can find the slaves who have been captured in wars. They are not considered part of the society.

This novel contains many political messages to the world. The author thought he had to be the voice of consciess of our society and express the reader all he thought about politics, and overall about the world, trying to express the truth as he saw it. The story was written in a crucial time in history, just after the Second World War and at the beginning of the Cold War, so it could be and influence in the content of the book. And that is why George Orwell focused three main points along the story: the dangers of war and how bad it was, class differences (dominant-submissive) and dictatorship (totalitarism). He wanted to show how certain political systems could affect our society by working for only selected ones interests and suppresing individual freedom. Like that he could warn to people what might happen in a future if certain politics come to the power.

Nineteen Eighty – Four , as we can see, was not only written as an entertain piece of literature or as a probable future and how it could be like; it was written as a warning of what could happen as a result of communism and totalitarianism. Even it was not a total vision by everybody, it was considered a possibility by many people. This novel has been a profoundly meaningful work and it continues to be one of the world’s most widely read and quoted one into the twenty-first century.
