When I was surfing , I came across a list of 100 books which were ranked by BBC as the all time best books . In the very list I came across the book 1984. Later after many days , I casually texted my friend about what she was doing , she seriously replied that she was reading 1984, that gesture of her's intimidated me . I too wished to read it .
After many days of anticipation, one of my friends and I were surfing through facebook , he was showing me some of his personal photos and there in one of those photos I could scrutinize the picture of the book 1984 and I went crazy about reading it now . Surprisingly after a couple of days , my professor mentioned about this book and described the inside of the book . And the very next week he gifted it to me . This is absolutely awesome . I was sure law of attraction works ,when I read the book 'secret' by Rhonda byrne , but I didn't expect it to be so precise
Plot(from the back cover)
Winston Smith is a long-rung member of the Party, the ruling government of Oceania. He works in the Ministry of Truth, the Party’s propaganda arm, where he is in charge of revising history. He is but a small brick in the pyramid that is the Party, at the head of which stands Big Brother. Big Brother the infallible. Big Brother the all-powerful.
In a totalitarian society, where individuality is suppressed and freedom of thought has its antithesis in the Thought Police, Winston finds respite in the company of Julia. Originality of thought awakens, love blossoms and hope is rekindled. But what they don’t know is that Big Brother is always watching….
My Insights
The plot is too simple, It is just about a member winston smith ,who always wishes to rebel against the party for which he works, because of it's compulsion of brotherhood , the conspiracy which destroyed the concept of individuality and many other aspects . The notion of privacy was actually obsolete, every one were watched by the Big Brother through the telescreens. Winston couldn't tolerate all these and was planning to rebel against , meanwhile he falls for julia who also has the same rebellious Ideas as he has , even before they could revolt , the party authourity Identifies them and imprisons them where they are tortured to believe Big Brother , finally they some how make winston believe in him.
words on the author
The whole Idea and the plot of the author is fascinating . Hats off to his clairvoyance , he has almost predicted the future scenario of the world. He speaks of the society , a deadly dominant society actually , where the idea of individuality is obsolete , the idea of rebellion is shattered , the freedom of expression is snached and all were only expected to believe in the BIG BROTHER(ultimate power)
The depiction of power is very clever. The instinct which power triggers in a human brain , the wide spread devastation a human brain can manifest in the name of power.
Power is noble ,but dangerous too, he clearly puts in how the human mind is deviated to the latter one hardly looking at the former side.
The things which I could relate ti were the few lines in the page-249, which speaks about reality .which says reality exists not in the outer world, but right inside the human conscience and that's absolutely true .He has also depicted the vanity of human mind , of how the brain of an authority strives to condemn every other mind, even the subtlest form of rebellion.
Cover Page: I didn't fathom why the rupa publications have designed it very scary , when ever I sit to read it I get scared by The cover page . But lately I realized that it was designed cleverly . I understood that it is the eye of the 'BIG BROTHER', who is always whatching .
