George Orwell’s 1984
Basing on the George Orwell’s point of view, 1984 is now a matter of history. However, the author’s prophesy of the modern world that the author expects that dates back to late 1940’s are as vivid and evident as ever. The author relates the controversies of 1984, evident in this narrative, with the novel “negative utopia” a novel that is startlingly original and haunting to create am imaginary world that is fully convincing from the start to the end. From the synopsis, it is clear that the piece of literature’s point in relation to imaginations on the whole generations or rather the power of admonitions continues to grow rather than decline as time passes by.
In this piece of literature the author skillfully and artfully; while using descriptive narrative technique describes the controversial episodes in the life of Winston Smith. In fact, the writer uses his literature techniques and skills to present a captivating story concerning the life and times of Winston Smith at home, at work ancient life, and general life. Ideally, the novel/ narration depict the nightmarish prophecies made by George Orwell in 1949 and which began coming true in 1984. From the beginning to the end, George Orwell is a narrative that is a sheer display of modern world imaginations but presented in a manner that shows a life full of ancient controversy.
Quoting the author’s statement “ it was a bright cold day in April, and the clock is striking thirteen to depict the environment and the time of the day “ indicates that in one way or another, Winston was out of work. Further, the author describes smith’s posture as having buried a chin in his breast while in the victories house. In addition, the author presents the main character’s value of art, beauty, and aesthetics by a skillful description of the wall picture that are displayed in the victory house or rather Winston’s house. Orwell explains the reason for smith’s current situation and posture as a desperate attempt by Winston to evade the vile wind. More over, that author’s description of Smith’s house as the Victory mansion leaves the reader with a lot of curiosity thus urges the latter to read more in attempt to unearth what is victorious about the mansion or its occupant, Winston Smith. In the story, the author takes the reader from one point of Winton’s life to the next, virtually uncovering one point of controversy and deviation from reality to the next. The stage is set by the author presentation of the main character, Winston Smith lonely in the “victorious mansion”. Irrespective of the Smith’s purported attempt to evade what the author refers to as the vile wind, the author’s description and narration intrigues a deeper literal meaning than the text itself that mere words used by the Orwell can suggest.
The author creativity and use of personification to display this aspect, keep the reader wanting to know what happens to Smith in the next paragraph. However, the next only yields another twist of events thus drawing the reader’s interest even further inside the story (Orwell, 7). Having creatively described the home of the main character, the writer artfully moves the reader to Winston’s place of work, which the later refers to ministry of truth. In his place of work, the character of Winston as described by Orwell is equally controversial especially the episode that surround him and a girl that, despite the author trying to skillfully insinuate that Smith hated, all factors point out that he had actually fallen in love with her. However, the facts from the traces of the story indicate that Smith failed to make a move because he respected this particular young lady as being too principled for him and practically unapproachable. The writer also takes the reader back to the early life of the main character displaying the controversial behavior of “children” at the times of the execution of Eurasian criminals of war as well as the disappearance of Winston’s mother in a dream.
George Orwell’s art and skill in narration makes this story perhaps one of the most intriguing short stories the world has ever seen. Right from the start of the story, the author is exemplarily captivating by setting our focus on the intriguing features at Winston’s Smith’s house. It does not only capture the initial interest of the reader describing the environments (in which the main character and the focus of the story is in as being a cold but bright day and presenting Winston situation as unfavorable at the moment), but also the author sets the stage by description of smith having buried his chin in his breast (Orwell, 1); the latter of which depict the author’s literature and narrative skills to a larger extent.
The story presented in George Orwell 1984 is in my own opinion the most interesting and captivating descriptive narrative of all times that brings unmatched literature and narrative skills on the part of the writer. The writer’s description of Winston’s life right from his house, the mansion of victory, to his place of work at the ministry of truth is excellent and is a sheer exhibition of the controversial man that Winston Smith really was. Consider the author’s description of art in Winston’s house particularly the elusive poster “the big brother is watching”. The author uses the poster in its description, perhaps to narrate the social and personal life of the main character George Winston.
