George Orwell's 1984 is a book that transcends the shackles of time and place, and I consider it his masterpiece and brainchild. This iconic novel conceptualizes a dystopian world where everything and everyone is controlled and directed on how to live and perform their lives in service to the Party, which rules Oceania with an iron fist. The main character, Winston, is someone everyone can relate to – he has a nagging subconscious feeling that something is wrong with society, but he's too afraid to act on it and bring about meaningful change. Julia, on the other hand, is the rebellious type who invokes feelings of revolt in Winston. O'Brien, meanwhile, is an enigma to the reader, leaving us to ponder his true intentions. And then there's the figurative character of Big Brother, who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The book keeps its readers on the edge of their seats, hoping for an ending that's both happy and realistic. But instead of a typical rebellion that topples an all-powerful government, Orwell presents a stark reality: no matter how strong your resolve and desire for change may be, if it doesn't align with the state's agenda, you'll either be subdued or eradicated from the pages of history as if you never existed. Orwell's 1984 has had a lasting impact on our culture, with many quotes and words he created becoming part of our language. Who can forget the iconic phrase "Big Brother is watching you"? Other terms like "telescreen," "thought crime," and "doublethink" have also become part of our lexicon, showing that this classic is now forever a part of our history and evolution.
