It is common knowledge that every living being must eventually die; death is inevitable. Some people die earlier than others, while others live long and prosperous lives. However, death does not always refer to the physical body. Many notable authors examine the many possible "deaths." Death could be used to refer to the death of the soul when evil takes over, or the death of hope when one is unable to cope with the loss of a child. George Orwell is one of these authors because he demonstrates death in various ways. Death is a complex theme in Orwell's 1984 novel, as it examines the atypical "deaths" that humans can experience. Orwell examines the death of the social order when the Party takes power in a totalitarian manner. It examines the death of the family unit, the death of rebellion, the death of individuality and the death of language. But the most obvious death is the death of the spirit. It demonstrates this type of death through the complex character of Winston as he faces his eventual fate. Throughout his novel, Orwell foreshadows Winston's eventual "death" through his word choice and tone, through Winston's childhood memories, and through Winston's environment. Word choice and tone of voice are very important in the novel. Orwell uses tone as a means of emphasis; Throughout the novel, the tone is generally pessimistic, unless he is writing about the government. From the beginning, Oceania is presented as an overly military society; “the clocks struck thirteen” (3), not one. Orwell already introduces Hate Week and Big Brother to the reader on the first page, introducing the reader to the complex government issues covered in the novel. 1984 serves as a warning to communism and therefore, ...... middle of paper ...... yes, it does, leaving Winston to suffer in an eternal hell. This mental death is far worse than physical death for Winston, because the only thing he had – freedom – is stolen from him. This “death” is meant to leave the reader angry and bored, so the book aims to leave the reader disgusted with totalitarian regimes. At the time the novel was written, most people had high hopes and expectations for the future; it turns out that communism has become the new social experiment. Many people sincerely believed that this type of governance was the best way to govern a country. George Orwell was able to see through picturesque representation. Today, almost everyone will agree that they do not want to live in a totalitarian society; Orwell succeeded in warning the population of the communist regime..
