The novel explores the various aspects of totalitarian governments through the dismal life that Winston Smith, a character in the novel goes through. He is constantly frustrated through suppression. Perhaps that is clearly illustrated by the quote that presupposes that whoever can control the past, has power to control the future; while whoever has the ability to control the present, wields the right to control the past. In this novel Winston is actually unable to get off the big brother’s watch who constantly monitors every action undertaken by him on telescreens. Winston’s resentment for the party eventually grows in enormity (Howe and Geoge 83). The book presents various vagaries of totalitarian states, where a single entity rules over everybody’s daily life without any opposition. Just like in many present totalitarian states, government control can be spotted almost everywhere in this book. This is highly reflected in Winston and many other characters that have no control over their families, aspects of history and even own sex life. To make it even worse, the government has managed to even interfere in family affairs (Steinhoff 53). For instance, it turned children against their own parents, compelled patrons into doing undignified jobs, control history by completely wiping people out of existence, as well as exploring a determined desire to completely remove all sexual desires from different individuals. All the things that take place in the book have their own parallels in history. For example, the Cuban missile crisis is a potent example that occurred after the publication. There has also been the Korean War, the division of the Germany by the Berlin Wall, and its eventual destruction. Through the Holocaust, about 11 million lives were brought to an abrupt end; not through any wrong they did, but basically through what they were. The Nazis persecuted groups such as homosexuals, members of Jehovah’s witnesses, the handicaps, Catholics, political dissidents and many others (Dieterle 25) One could see that the Nazis persecuted them due to their physical orientations and even religion inclinations. In actual sense most were persecuted due to their failure to suit the Aryan perceived ideal. Adolf Hitler, who was born in 1889, is the one who led the Holocaust. He later died in 1945, the same year that the United Nations was established by several countries committed to the pursuit of peace through cooperation. Today, most nations of the world belong to United Nations, which is faced with the duty of maintaining international peace and security as well as making sure that friendly coexistence among nations is promoted (Rodden 47). Protection of human rights also falls under it s mandate as well as harmonization many other actions of nations. Though faced with these enormous responsibilities, the UN has been accused of imposing the will of the West on other States. This is exactly what we see in Orwell’s 1984. There is another organization, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) which is an alliance of countries from North America and Europe. These countries are committed to fulfilling the wishes and goals of the North Atlantic Treaty that was signed in 1949. Actually, the initial fundamental goal of NATO was to safeguard the security and freedom of its member states. Howeve
