George Orwell's novel 1984 contains the most powerful warning yet about the dangers and controls of living under a totalitarian government. The main character, Winston Smith, is at war, trying to control the Inner Party and rebelling against Big Brother, the dictator of Oceania. The author gives us readers a picture of inhumanity and the impact it has on citizens, physically and mentally. Orwell uses literary elements such as imagery, foreshadowing, symbolism, and irony to demonstrate the theme of the indestructible of a totalitarianism. To begin, Orwells uses imagery to show readers how the totalitarian government only remains to maintain power instead of taking care of its people. . Furthermore, he uses descriptive words to emphasize and show the horrible future society and the world itself. For example, in the book Orwell creates a mental image of what the futuristic community canteen looked like: “In the low-ceilinged canteen, deep beneath the ground, the queue for lunch moved slowly. The room was already full and it was making a deafening noise.”(43). To come to mind that the room was underground, Oceania was always at war to maintain their power with Eurasia and their propaganda slogan, “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” (4). Including the continuous bombings that the city has suffered. Furthermore, the place is deafeningly noisy and overcrowded, the totalitarian government cannot provide its people with sufficient shelter. It not only represents an abuse of power, but also a lack of economy. Orwell's warnings reveal the possibilities and fears of the future. Secondly, Orwell uses symbolism to show how the Party's control affects their past and memories. For example, the paperweight in an antique shop. In the... middle of the paper... I thought the police would take him anyway. He had committed - he would have committed again, even if he had never put pen to paper - the essential crime that contained within itself every other. Thought crimes." (19). The moment he starts he cannot change his actions and will be captured and vaporized. Furthermore, Winston had no intention of stopping writing because he hoped that someone would one day find his diary and use it to overthrow Big Brother. He hopes that one day he will spark a revolution and become a hero. In conclusion, through Orwell's use of literary devices to imagine the abuse of power and life under a totalitarian government theme of an indestructible totalitarian government throughout the novel Orwell creates a different and new world in which there is limitation of freedom, of the expression of feelings towards others and of human qualities.
