Why Did George Orwell Write “1984”?
In 1945, at the end of WWII, George Orwell wrote a book called 1984. It tells the story of the main character Winston Smith and his life in a totalitarian government-controlled world where the thoughts, actions, and even emotions of its citizens are controlled. WWII had just ended when he wrote the book and Orwell had witnessed horrible violence at the hands of authoritative rulers, this frustrated him since he was a democratic socialist. All that lead him to write 1984, he wanted the book to be a warning for what could come if these countries were to continue this behavior. This book covers many different topics and interesting perspectives and looks like a fun read.
