1984 Orwell

George Orwell's book 1984 has 4 warnings that he states throughout the book. Orwell is afraid of a government getting too powerful and he expresses this fear through Winston. One major warning sign that is prevalent throughout the book is the totalitarian government. A group that runs the government called the Party. This group is all powerful because it is run by a group whose major purpose is to gain and keep power. The Party's methods are …

…out by rats. But since Winston hates rats more than anything, he betrays Julia and is now released. This betrayal was what O'Brian was looking for as a desperate cry of help from Winston. Winston had finally given in and said he loved big brother and decided to conform to what the Party wanted. This is a depressing result, instead of dying for what he believed in; he gave into society to save his life.
